Hey athletes… workload is EVERYTHING. I don’t care how much you stretch, roll out or do ā€œrecovery work.ā€ If you don’t plan days off, let your body rest & manage your training & sports schedule properly, it won’t matter!

Your young athlete can’t:. - Decelerate properly .- Hip hinge.- Do a push-up.- Hold a plank.- Hold their weight above a chin up bar.- Do an 18 inch box jump. They don’t need the newest ā€œsport specific,ā€ program. They need to sprint, jump & progressively load basic patterns.

Hey baseball parents:. If your son is over the age of 15 and runs over 7.5 seconds in the 60 yard dash, you may want to direct some of the money from 2x per week private hitting & fielding instruction to a strength & speed coach.
