Do NOT email me asking for scholarship money‼️
I will automatically delete the email. It shows me you are not interested for the right reasons. The scholarship shouldn’t be the goal, a place where you can be developed athletically and academically should be.

I think there’s a lot of misinformation on track scholarships. This is a good overview of how many there really are. Track isn’t football (85 scholarships) and most kids are on partials, even the All-Americans. There are also lots of walk-ons which isn’t a bad thing they are just

Athletes when’s the last time you checked in on your coach?
You expect so much from them, when’s the last time you did something for them? Asking how they are doing or how their day is going?
You’d be surprised how that would make a coach feel.

Jumpers are SPRINTERS‼️you cannot jump far/high without being fast!
We did 4x40m wicketts (15) with 10m runoff. Working good mechanics and striking down hard to go fast. Then we did 2x40m w/o the wicketts to reinforce what we just did and ended with in place multi jumps

Fun little triple jump drill to warm up before our jump session, I call it an exaggerated B-skip
Helps with coordination and feeling tall with the foot under the center of mass
Added the jump on the end to simulate the 3rd phase and what It should feel like

What if colleges marketed track like they do the big 3 sports? 🤔 or at least put in 1/2 as much effort as they do the big 3 sports?

‼️Coaches we need to stop with this “high knees”. It’s a terrible cue and teaches the athletes nothing useful.
The FOOT is responsible for height of the knee. If your foot isn’t flexed you won’t generate enough force that will optimally bring the knee up to generate force down‼️

One of my biggest pieces of advice to a coach getting into the game is:
Start where there is little to no resources. It will teach you to be so resourceful and such a better coach than starting off with state-of-the art facilities
It will also show you how bad you want it

🚨Atheltes🚨
As you get BETTER you WON’T PR as often as you did when you first started. Like newbie gains when you first start lifting. You’ll see big improvements often in the beginning, BUT overtime it takes LONGER to see any improvement. That is how human performance works

As good. Understand if you can’t get Athletic aid it doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. There simply isn’t enough to go around. So get good in the classroom, be a walk-on earn a scholarship and prove yourself. It’s a privilege to compete at any level.

🚨Can we PLEASE get rid of these plastic long jump boards?!?! 🚨
2 of my athletes slipped on the boards today, and it was 75 & sunny. 🤨
1 pulled his hamstring, done for 2 weeks 🙄
And yes they both took off optimally and it still occurred 🤦🏽♂️

Don’t be greedy out there. There ain’t a lot of $$ and if you’re not winning conference DON’T expect near a full. Coaches will find someone overseas who don’t play games.
PSA:
Receiving a scholarship in your passion has become so much harder due to people from all around the world committing and competing for those same opportunities.

‼️Athletes‼️:
Coaches do not care about splits. Please STOP putting those out there, if you can’t do it open it doesn’t count. Example: split 48 in a 4x400 when your PR is 50. College coaches will look the other way if you put you talk about your splits.

Go to a school and team where you feel like you belong and know the coach has YOUR best interest at heart and WILL develop you. Those are worth more than any amount of $$$ you get from a Scholarship.

Little posture work before we compete tomorrow.
Sand really helps the athlete feel the engagement of the right muscles and how the positions should feel. Did these the length of pit x2
Emphasis is stepping DOWN and not to cover ground, working vertical forces. Try it out

Athletes the best way to get financial aid for college? Get good grades and test scores‼️ it’s that simple! With how many people want athletic aid and how little there is, make it easier on yourself and get the grades!

1st time doing blocks with Amarrion. Can you spot the difference?
In 1 video I coached him; in the other I let him do what he wants
One day he’ll do an open 100m, my guess 10.8-10.6. He’s a jumper mainly, so I don’t need him to be wicked fast, but he does need to have speed

Long jumper need to realize this one thing. YOU HAVE TO BE FAST. You are not “JuSt A jUmPeR 🥴” just look at the greatest in history, all could go 10.2 or faster in the 100m. Just indoors for men’s NCAA D1, ALL ran under 6.9 in the 60m and all went at least 10.8 or better.

Coach when teaching proper sprint mechanics how often are you looking at the foot and the contact it makes with the ground? Or are you just looking at knee angle and “getting the knees up”?

Just curious; HS & Club coaches when a college athlete goes home for break and wants to work with you what do you do?
1) write what you think they need
2) do what the college coach wrote them

Solid jump day‼️
some 4 step jumps off a box for Matt and Will. Some 6 step jumps for CJ and Amarrion.
Emphasis was driving the foot high at takeoff to help with posture and make it easier to land. Landing issues come from takeoff and runway NEVER the actual landing

The basics should be emphasized more than they are currently. An athlete is a “natural” and a lot of times coaches throw the basics out the window. Long term development > short term gains.

Nice drill with Amarrion, working last 3 steps of the approach
Has a habit of falling into the penultimate and leaning on his 3rd to last step
This helps him not lower so much and get the feet under him as he jumps
In turn he’s jumping more effortlessly

A very easy 14m+ jump in not so favorable conditions
Time to clean up a few things, conference is gonna be goood in 2 weeks

Coaches do you ask your returning/graduated athletes for feedback about yourself❓ 🤔❓
How can I be a better coach?
What have I done well?
What can I do better?
What do you want to see more of?
What do you want to see less of?

Did some banded bounds with my triple jumper today. 1st time he’s ever done anything like that, so definitely not perfect nor do I ever expect that
Emphasis was to feel moving hips through the phases today and maintain posture. The hips drive everything in TJ

Matt is very much ready for conference in 3 weeks, rounding up just in time 👏🏾

5 months ago he was very different wow
Very proud of him for trusting the process, and being coachable
I will not be surprised when he PRs 👀

Added a skip to Matt’s approach and things are looking much smoother, we will see come this weekend
Fixed Amarrion’s start a bit, still a couple things to tweak, but good enough for now
Used chalk marks to give him an idea to push towards

Awful idea. How many athlete fouled back in the 80s? Why wasn’t this done earlier if this was the right solution? It’s not. The board isn’t the reason for fouls, the athletes are. Don’t make it easier, let’s get better as coaches

Big breakthrough! No longer just throwing herself in the pit! We can’t train much due to health issues, but when we do it’s always been high quality!
Jumped 5.22m last weekend and I was happy with that considering we can only practice 1x a week 😅 oh and it was BEHIND the board

Here’s some variations in the weight room we do. Madison is still dealing with knee issues so we modified split squat jumps with speed eccentrics

I post a lot about my athlete and what we do at practice/meets. 1 thing you wouldn’t/couldn’t tell is that the are all walk-ons except for 1
I hope that shows y’all that you’ll still get high quality training even as a walk-on
I hope it changes your idea of a walk-on in D1

Very proud of the progress he’s made 👏🏾

Forgot to mention 2 athlete In the competition pulled their hamstring a from this plastic board.
@NCAATrackField
rules states there should be a WOODEN board or other suitable rigid material….PLASTIC is NOT suitable! How many have to get hurt until we stop this??
🚨Can we PLEASE get rid of these plastic long jump boards?!?! 🚨
2 of my athletes slipped on the boards today, and it was 75 & sunny. 🤨
1 pulled his hamstring, done for 2 weeks 🙄
And yes they both took off optimally and it still occurred 🤦🏽♂️
