What is happening to youth sports? Basketball. Volleyball. Baseball. The story is the same. Lines out the door for tournaments and showcases every weekend... but where are the lines for player development? We've got kids traveling coast to coast chasing exposure — but skipping the actual work that builds strong, skilled, durable athletes. Weekend after weekend, they’re playing games, filming highlights, chasing offers... but how many are consistently working on their strength, movement, mindset, or fundamentals? The truth is: You don’t get better just by playing. Development happens in the quiet hours. In the weight room. In skill sessions. In recovery. Too many athletes — and parents — are buying into the idea that more games = more progress. But showcases without skill = exposure without results. Tournaments without training = wear and tear without development. It’s time to flip the script. Get back to the gym. Get under the bar. Build strength, improve mechanics, grow confidence. Then go dominate those tournaments. #YouthAthleticPerformance #Development #StrenghTraining #YouthAthletes #TrainWithYAP #YouthSports

Hurts for me to hear from one of our new college Football players at a college that the workouts are hard bc the warmups are so long and tiring? Hmmmmmm. Should I have prepared this athlete differently??? Constant questions. But I dont think "warmups" should be "tiring."

Grateful to be able to assist nfl combine prep with best in the business! @Tony_Villani_ @MattGates_XPE Cool video comparison for any of you @SHREDmillSpeed owners out there working with younger athlete populations. While outputs are obviously different, the intent/overall execution should be the same, and pretty damn similar! Excited to keep learning and sharing how the training of elite level athletes can be scaled, modified, and applied at the younger levels!

“If you’re a high school athlete you better be lifting year round. You’re competing with transfer portal athletes who train 48 weeks a year. You’re a baseball player who lifts for 3 months in the off season then says “I have travel ball” or “I’m not lifting in season” you are already behind. Lifting is the X factor for baseball players” @ZachDechant TCU @IAStrengthCoach

This is the REAL reason why people PLAY FASTER than they time in 40. Take a listen. First. Took me listening to the greatest EVER. 2nd. "Trying" to believe them. 3rd. Coming up with tests to DISPROVE them. 4th. Seeing the tests prove me wrong.

If you want your athletes to create separation you must teach them how #StartingWithStafford Cc: @Tony_Villani_ @MarkHoover71 @YAPtraining

"What you have just saw is the fastest he has been in five freaking years." Thanks to @heykayadams for not listening to the rest of the media saying he has slowed down. All we wanted was some space to find!!! (Thanks for the help @AndrewSpruill_ as always).

It is amazing to me how many people still do not believe you can gain muscle...which ➡️ increases power ➡️ better acceleration ➡️ better 40 Yard Dash all within 6-8 weeks. Like seriously speaking, what do you think I have been spending my life doing the last 20 years. 🤣

We look at 1) Body angle and straightness 2) Knee separation 3) Front shin angle 4) Ground/or Belt contact Sooner than later "Form Scores" (thru @BeONE_Sports) compared to the fastest athletes at the NFL Combine EVER can be compared.

In this episode, we talk how easy it is to look at simple metrics and use the #SHREDmill to #GetFASTfast with #1FORCE2form.

It is simple. It profiles kids in large groups at 50-65% of their MaxV with ONE (1!) setting that doesn't need to be changed athlete to athlete. #GetFASTfast with #1FORCE2form

Coaching/Sports Training are similar IMO. You need to build a system/ plan around a philosophy. This "plan" cannot be set in stone. It must be able to adjust and work around "different philosophies." If not, you have a "plan/schedule" that is nothing more than words on a paper.
