Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

Movement for athletics and life: Foundational Movements: These movements make up everything we do as human beings. In fact you learn how to do these movements before you can walk. They are...pushing, pulling, squatting, lunging, stepping, bending, crawling, climbing, reaching and rotating... Get really good at these, take them through a full range of motion, practice them on consistent basis, work as hard as you can at them. When mastered Consider using extra weight withem like sandbags, medicine balls, Dumbells and barbells or simply use bodyweight for a high number of repititions. Fundamental movement skills: Many of these are locomotor skills like Pattern Running, Jumping, skipping, hopping, sprinting, shuffling and galloping, some others like catching, throwing, trapping, hitting and striking and dodging. Most of these skills are movements or a combination of them are what make up most competitive sports. They all require the coordinated involment of the arms, legs, eyes an ears...etc A person with a foundation of all the above will be: Coordinated, Total body strong, flexible, cardiovascularly fit and more resistant to fatigue and injury, also probably be more calm, less stressed, have more PMA (positive mental atittude) lean and more muscular. For an athlete this will allow them to better learn specific sports skills (if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball :-) ) and be more resilient on the field of play and practice. For an adult this will allow them to better enjoy. and reap the benefits of the many leisure activities life has to offer like swimming, biking, running, burpee challange :-), tough mudder, playing with the kids, hiking, cayaking or simply fighting the effects of our ever growing automated and mechanized society that is sucking the very life blood out of the human experience: movement. Unfortunatly the days of running and biking for health are long gone. These things are still good for you yes but with the dawn of technological age that makes life so easy to be lazy and the potential to get sick and injured we must supplement a healthy dose of training to keep the body strong and functional. #LTAD #athleticdevelopment

Coaches time to put away the pub-med and read a P.E. book. We all know the research about resistance training and kids. But long before kids learn to front squat, lunge, pull-up and press they need to sprint, jump, climb, crawl, wrestle. Lets create movers not robots. #LTAD

Kids will forgive you for making a mistake. They won't forgive you for being boring. Understand "art" of coaching kids. Everyone likes "Fun". Don't be too repetitive w/out variation or singular focused. Make simple fundamentals a "party". Kids will always want to come back.

"As adults, only 3 percent of Americans stay in shape by playing team sports, which means our reliance on structured, heavily coached scenarios hardly prepares kids for a future of physical activity that will demand that they be self motivating and workout alone." (Bill Sands)

Youth athletic development: I want to see sprints, jumps, races and chases...I want to see crawls, climbs, dives and rolls... I want see pushing, pulling and wrestling. Most importantly I want to see kid centered, child led and fun #LTAD

If your warm ups are not including skill work of some kind you are missing important opportunities to teach. I hear coaches complain they don't have enough time during practice yet do Laps and a 15 min non-productive warm up. Skill development and warm up should be married.

The teenage athlete injury ticking time bomb: 💣Less than 8 hours sleep 💣Practice sport 2+ hours intensely 💣Poor nutrition leading to reduced muscle mass and lack of energy for activity 💣High stress levels due to work, school, or relationships 💣Lack of quality training prep
