🚨ATHLETES🚨 If your season has ended…. TAKE THE TIME OFF! Shoot take a month. Come back out of shape. But come back recovered. If you’ve been going since winter your body is begging for a recharge. Friends, family, finish school. Chill!

Build an overcapacity in athletes… Two soccer athletes are playing against each other: If athlete “A” has a top speed of 23 MPH & Athlete “B” has a top speed of 16 MPH Athlete “B” will gas out more quickly because their max speed is less than athlete “As”. As they both chase the ball down all game, Athlete “A” only needs to accelerate to a sub maximal speed in order to beat athlete “B” to the ball. While athlete “B” has to do repeated max effort bouts. Speed kills.

We’ve gone all in with FTC 3-4 years ago. Today our girls team won state KY Class AA. 100 meters 2nd & 8th 200 5th 4x1 - 1st 4x2 - 2nd 4x4 - 3rd Long Jump - 2nd Triple - 1st Some days I questioned if we were doing enough. Fresh legs and healthy won the day. @pntrack

I cannot stress this enough: PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS IN HIGH SCHOOL New teams, new roles, new bonds built, new opportunities to compete, etc. College coaches love to see multi-sport athletes and prefer them over specialization. This has never changed. This is a hill I die on.

If you are a team sport athlete… Please understand how much you can improve your on-field performance simply by improving your 10 yard dash If that improves, you are opening up so much in your performance ability This should be a top 3 priority of your training

Congrats to senior Layla Green on her recent commitment to Bellarmine University!!

TRACK SEASON IS HERE! Football & Track goes hand & hand! Before walking on the football field you must first cross/walk on the TRACK! That was designed like that for a reason! All skill football guys should be running track! Running track is better than going to a speed trainer

This is where youth sports often get it backwards. Kids don’t need more sport-specific training. They need more athletic development. Somewhere along the way, we convinced ourselves that earlier specialization meant better outcomes. More reps of the same skills. More drills. More structure. More pressure. But strong, fast, coordinated, resilient athletes are not built by narrowing movement early. They’re built by expanding it. Before worrying about a child’s shooting form, throwing mechanics, or position-specific skills, we should be asking: Can they run, jump, stop, and change direction? Can they balance, rotate, climb, crawl, and fall safely? Can they move with rhythm, coordination, and confidence? Athletic development is the foundation that sport skills are built on—not the other way around. Speed, strength, power, and durability don’t magically appear because a kid played one sport year-round. They come from movement variety, free play, and exposure to different physical challenges across multiple planes and environments. When we skip this phase and rush into specialization, we don’t create better athletes—we create fragile ones. Develop the athlete first. Then layer the sport on top. #LTAD

High school coaches from the same school but different sports should work together. When they collaborate, athletes benefit by coordinated training, less burnout, support for multi-sport kids, and a stronger school culture. One team, one mission, helping every program succeed!

Speed WILL NOT be developed under high amounts of fatigue. Speed is best developed at high levels of intensity followed by adequate rest periods. If you want faster athletes, be prepared not to run more… but REST more!🙌🏻📈

🚨LISTEN🚨 If someone says “track and field isn’t a sport” or “track requires no skill”… 9 out of 10 times they tried it once and got humbled. They got smoked in the 100m or couldn’t jump like they thought. The sport requires skill… You just don’t have it 🤷🏿‍♂️

One of most damaging thoughts for track is that too many people believe sprinting is all about genetics. That leads to the devaluing of strong sprint coaching because those people believe that sprinters will be wildly successful anywhere, doing anything. It’s not true! Coaching matters!

Maybe an unpopular take but…stop making teenagers wake up at 5am to go lift/workout before school. Unless they’re asleep by 9pm, I promise you that them getting 8 hours of sleep will be more beneficial for them than some 45 minute workout before school.

The data doesn’t lie. Early specialization increases injury risk, burnout, and regret. This doesn’t mean it’s a GUARANTEE or that nobody should do it. It’s just a matter of risk and what you’re comfortable with. And yes, some sports essentially require it, that’s just the

🚨COACHES🚨 If an athlete is currently playing a sport… NO THEY DO NOT NEED TO COME TO THE OFFSEASON SPORT WORKOUTS! Leave them alone. Don’t punish them for not being at those workouts. All you should be doing is checking in and being supportive. Leave them be!

A reminder to Sprint-Based 🏈 coaches. If you chase two rabbits, you’ll never catch the fast one. Chasing both speed AND endurance this summer will limit your speed gains. Patiently build capacity, don’t chase endurance.

State meet

State runner up finish for the girls team.

Top speed testing today! Girls killed it. Hayden 20.05mph Layla 19.63mph Lexi 19.24mph If you aren’t feeding your cats you probably aren’t getting faster!! @pntrack
