You are totally replaceable at your coaching job. You are NOT replaceable at home. Remember that perspective when you’re thinking about “balance”.

To be fast and explosive, you should practice being fast and explosive— 1. Sprint Drills 2. Broad Jumps 3. Triple Broad Jumps 3. Resisted Sprints 4. Bodyweight sprints

The BASICS—triple extension mechanics strength = field transfer to football. ✔️Hurdle Jumps → Explosiveness ✔️Dowel Runs → Frontside Mechanics ✔️Sprints → Speed ✔️Squat Jumps → Explosiveness ✔️RDLs → Posterior Chain ✔️Squats → Strength ✔️Power Cleans → Explosive Power (RFD Triple Extension) Build the athlete—not just the lifter.
⚪️ & 🔴 reps.

"For twelve dark weeks, stay under the gate, No threshold crossed, no surge of fate. Pour Zone Two into the veins, Summon mitochondria through steady pains. Let TSS rise, week by week, As if the body cannot speak.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Seahawks' gym has gone viral for looking extremely outdated and unimpressive. The facility in Seattle was built in 2007 and cost only $60 million. 😳😳😳

Both things can be true: athletes deserve their cut via NIL/brand deals and the current pay-for-play arms race is unsustainable.
Nick Saban said the term “student-athlete” will eventually change to “athlete that’s a student” because you’d have colleges sponsoring “pro sports teams” because “we are going to be playing the players so much.”

Training isn’t always about throwing around the most weight. The goal is to be an a ELITE MOVER. You do that by. 1. Mastering position 1st ➡️ 2. Learning to absorb force ➡️ 3. Creating force ➡️ 4. Creating force quickly. Can’t get to #4 at elite levels without mastering #1 The work is always in the details. #BuiltNotBorn Archuleta31.com
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE(D) lifting heavy and getting after it - but you don't always have to beat yourself up to get results! Whether you are an aspiring, current or washed up elite athlete - it's about mastering position 1st!! I'm a little rusty, my technique and position could be a lot better here!

“Propulsive force gets you drafted” “Braking force determines if you last.” @64AMDG Force is important, and the ability to convert strength into skill is a must for both optimal development and game transfer.
Not all force production is created equal in the trenches. The hidden ability to absorb force is the divide between good OL that sustain success, versus guys that “flash” on screen. ⬇️⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/lechar… #OLEconomics

6’4”, 302 lbs. 475 lb bench. 700 lb squat. Creed Humphrey is a powerhouse center—elite strength paired with explosive velocity. The Chiefs formula: THE BASICS—explosive snatches, clean pulls, and heavy push presses. The result: He has allowed a total of just 5 sacks over his five-year NFL career across more than 2,500 pass-blocking snaps.
Back puttin' in work 💪

NFL off season, lower-body power and speed day. Triple Extension: Driving force through hips, knees, and ankles (Keiser, Squat, Jumps, Sprints) Rate of Force Development: How fast you can produce power (Keiser, Depth to Broad Jump, Flying 20's) Deceleration: Absorbing force and changing direction (Suicides) Core Rigidity: Bracing the spine to transfer that power from the floor (Plank KB, ISO Holds)
Dawg: Eagles star CB Cooper DeJean goes through an INSANE workout routine to stay in elite shape during the offseason. Keiser Squat: 4x 3-4 reps Depth to Broad Jump: 4x Squat: 4x 4 reps Plank Kettlebell: 4x 8 reps Oblique ISO hold: 4x Flying 20’s: 10x Suicide Sprints: 10x 😤😤😤

Everyone’s focusing on his coverage ability—as a performance coach— I’m amazed at his hip mobility. There is a huge focus on hip external rotation, but I’ve seen way more issues with internal rotation (IR). Restricted hip IR affects explosiveness in cuts, breaks, and linear speed. Improving IR unlocks better control, longer strides, and durability.
Insane: 48-year-old Chad Johnson LOCKED UP every single one of the wide receivers at his training camp. The regular person doesn't realize how impressive this is. 😱😱😱

Great young men, working hard, and chasing their dreams. This is a tough business. But if you stay humble, patient, and surround yourself with the right people, good things can happen. Either way, life goes on. #AMDG @CJDavisAMDG

How I program. 75% of what I do, I KNOW works. 20% of what I do, I THINK works. 5% of what I do, I have NO IDEA if it works—this is where I GUESS and EXPERIMENT—I’m not willing to invest much time or effort here.

POWERFUL: Legendary #NFL TE Greg Olsen with a beautiful message at the Miami commencement speech. “Your pursuit of greatness… don’t forget to also be good.” “Go live your life. Go make mistakes. Go start a business. Travel the world.” Amazing 🙌🙌🙌
