Great example of “Towel game” with our football group. This is a great drill for preparing our athletes for game like scenarios. This checks a lot boxes to make drills more “Game like” such as:.✅Competitive.✅grappling component .✅agility component .✅Strategic elements .✅Fun

Quit playing fortnite and go to bed.
"Athletes who slept 10 hours per night over the course of several weeks ran faster, reacted quicker, and hit or threw a ball with greater accuracy.". See the new studies that found major performance benefits from simply sleeping enough:

Introducing some new concepts to @BixbySpartanFB adding a session of contact prep to our weekly offseason. The goal is progressively build tolerance to contact so that when we put the odd on it won’t be the first time we hit or engage with each other. S/O @ADRCoachDev

5th hour hitting “ 2s” pause squats. The goal with these is too regain depth lost from some of our in-season phases and accumulate some good reps coming off of break for all are sports. We hit 55-65% 4x5 with the option to bump weight according to feel as long as reps are crisp

FB is Alactic-Aerobic (Run fast recover in between). Many programs neglect both and just train Lactic( think 300yd shuttles) We used Mulit-movement tempo runs and some grappling for the bigs today for our “Low day” work to help us develop our aerobic system to help us recover.

Physicality can be taught! Most of the time a lack of physicality comes from lack of understanding position and technique. Also with high schoolers and younger athletes getting them used to being in some on else’s space helps tremendously.

Spring ankle series in our recovery day in 0 hour. The feet are the first and last thing that our body has in contact with the ground. It has to be compliant and stiff. ISOs help it become stiff on ground contact thus leading to greater force being put into the ground when we run

5th hour hitting their “Potentiation Circuit”. Every day we start with a very basic warm up then proceed to a Jump Circuit or an Upper Body Power circuit. This does two things. 1. Trains different qualities such as Elasticity and Conc/Ecc RFD .2. Preps us for main lift

In HS the majority of in-season lifting will always be before practice. This makes it hard to program for post chain work especially the hamstrings. One way we get this is done is to perform post chain work the day after a game. This gives us two days in a row w/o any practices

Some solid progress from 8th grade this morning on cleans. Two thoughts on teaching cleans that I’ve found useful over the past year. 1. Get them pulling from the ground as soon as you can .2. teach a full catch before power

Juice the system! The day before games we hit a very low volume of fast movements. The idea is to keep the nervous system “tuned up”. This is an example of our UB portion. The order exercise were .1. Plyo-Push-up 3x4(not shown) .2. Power I-Row 3x6 .3. MB Chest throw 3x4

Part of our clean progression sometimes you don’t need a pvc or a barbell with grade schoolers. Teaching concepts such as getting “under” the medball can help in the long run. It’s also fun @BixFoundations doing a great job today @BixbySpartanFB
