My all-time favorite quote/scripture for S&C coaching is. “You can’t be a prophet in your own town.”. Parents/Coaches/Athletes rarely think the coach they have is better than the guy down the street or a state away. Their word means more. No matter the results you’ve built.

Youth baseball and softball are out of control. Multiple games during the week. Multiple practices during the week. Weekend tournaments all over the place. Weekend practices if the team doesn’t advance. Absurdity at the highest level.

After the athlete develops a higher level of strength (subjective) there must be an addition of Power development and a RFD focus. Need to get strong FIRST.

My take:. LIFT the big 3 like a Powerlifter (1-6 rep range, full rest). But ALSO:.Sprint.Jump.Add unilateral training.Sport Specific Conditioning (work:rest ratio of the sport).Change of Direction.

I hear strength coaches say “don’t train athletes like powerlifters”. I’m curious what these coaches specifically mean if they say this. Not saying the phrase is right or wrong. Genuinely curious.
