So many athletes don’t get better because of 2 reasons: 1. They lack the guidance needed to improve 2. The guidance they need is too expensive for them to afford I wanted to do both Offer guidance at an affordable price point I did it… it’s here:

One of the best parts about losing over 40lbs? Not being absolutely appalled at how I look when I open a zoom, FaceTime or snap chat camera in selfie mode 🤣

Heavy lifting is only one part of a good S&C program for athletes You need to lift, sprint, jump & condition, year round Are you lost on how to do this? Well, whether you’re a youth athlete, in-season or off-season… I made this for you:

I don’t care if Shohei has had 6 TJ surgeries It doesn’t matter Because other pitchers who do not lift heavy have been injured just as much lol Which proves my point that you cannot blame the lifting for injuries Fun fact: throwing 100 mph is stressful & can lead to injuries

Known non-heavy lifter, Shohei Ohtani, not lifting heavy… which shows why he throws 97-100 🤔

We’re watching pitchers who don’t lift heavy, focus on mobility and fast-twitch work, throwing 97–100. Meanwhile, we’re still out here lifting heavy and getting hurt.

The cheat code for young athletes to develop: 1. Sprint 2-3x per week 2. Execute 2-3 full body lifts per week 3. Execute lifts w/ max intent 4. Execute lifts w/ tempo & control 5. Add a little weight each week 6. Jump 2-3x per week 7. Sprint & jump in all planes 8. Lift in all

5 pillars of success for a strength & speed program… 1. Consistency (train often & routinely) 2. Intent (move well, move fast) 3. Accountability (track progress over time) 4. Progression (add load, increase difficulty as it’s earned) 5. Patience (give # 1-4 time to work)

I live my life by one simple rule Every human I meet is worthy of my initial respect From there, they can choose to reciprocate that respect or to not Anyone who treats me with respect and dignity will get it back 10 fold

Want to make HUGE gains as an athlete? I like to think of the “3-2-1,” rule when it comes to building youth athletes - Train 3x per week - Train sprints & jumps 2x per-week - Train upper & lower strength AT LEAST 1x per week each Gains will be crazy 👀
