“It’s my responsibility to make them bigger faster and stronger. It’s on the sport coach to build the skills.”
That mindset in and of itself will keep strength coaches from being of higher value.
VERTICAL + HORIZONTAL COMBO JUMP SERIES
Got this high level jump routine from @BooSchex
Great for teaching athletes how to produce force & reactiveness in different planes:
1) Box Jump + Broad Jump
2) Box Jump + Hurdle Jump
3) Box + Box + Broad
4) Box + Box + Hurdle
I mentioned earlier this week the offseason outline we follow, which is a 3 day of split for our sprint work:
D1 - Acceleration
D2 - Max Velocity
D3 - Change of Direction
Here's a thread giving a brief look at what each day looks like.

Nutrition is not difficult
Training is not difficult
The difficult part is realizing you have to be consistent...almost all of the time
Why?
Effective nutrition & training isn’t sexy, doing the same things over & over can get boring
When you realize this you will get results
Most of the data collection I've done in season (jumps, weights, etc) really haven't changed anything for us
The numbers were within an acceptable range and told us we were already on the right track
No news is good news sometimes
How to prescribe training load for newbies:
1. Start with a light weight you know they'll be able to do
2. Ask "Was that easy, or like a medium?"
3. If Easy, add a little weight. If Medium, stay with it again
Reassess for the next set
The key part of “stimulate don’t annihilate” is the “stimulate” part
Training still needs to hard enough to trigger gains
Can’t avoid strain so much that no training occurs
Athletes skipping breakfast (delaying eating until 12pm) can harm athletic performance later in the day
-Mean power
-Performance
-Perception of effort
All decreased in the no breakfast group
Athletes training (even in the evening) should eat breakfast
