Digging into @ScottLeech72 Contact Prep Course. As a wrestler, I LOVE this for Football. All Coaches must keep learning, after all, we tell our athletes to be great, why not us!?

You might see top University athletic programs building turf hills, but in the early 2000s, maybe earlier, Istvan Javorek did this at a Junior College!
You can find his video on YouTube.
He did hills, stairs & complex training - amazing man to learn from!

Before athletes or parents blame the Coach, you must also look within. There is always responsibility & accountability on the athlete's part.
How does the athlete practice? Eat? Sleep? Lifestyle? Mindset? Sports Skill? Sports IQ? Weight Room Commitment & Effort?

When Coaches refuse that Grit is crucial for athletes, there is context. Wrestlers, Football Players, Rugby players, etc - combat athletes need toughness.
They need Tough training. Tough does NOT mean lacking intelligence.

The higher level athletes perform the same drills but with Excellence.
Squats, Cleans, Sprints, Jumps, etc w/ poor technique deliver poor results.
Same exercises w/ GREAT technique deliver POWERFUL results.
What vs How.

Why Educated & Experienced Coaches are Crucial:
It's NOT What You do, it's HOW you do it.
We drive cars, but we do NOT all race NASCAR. Technically, "same thing".
In Strength Training, HOW you train is crucial.
In Sport, drills have same name, but executed with excellence.

There is NO benefit physically or mentally to an athlete or ANY living being in sitting around, doing nothing but doom scrolling because of the standard "medical" advice of "NO Physical Activity for _____ Weeks"
Jun 1
Mental Health is a phrase thrown around by many in the medical and education system.
If that's the case:
- Stop telling an athlete "NO Physical Activity" because they have a sprained ankle or shoulder. Qualified Coaches KNOW how to work around injuries.

We sweep the sheds because we want to. We’ve always done it.
It’s a RESPECT thing. It’s not because Steve Hansen is shouting, ‘Come on, guys, sweep the sheds!’ The players are driving the environment.
Do you or your organization have a Sweep the sheds mindset?

The Work is the GIFT. Winners KNOW this. Winners Chase the Work.
Losers view work and discipline as punishment.

DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM
▪️Blood
▪️Sweat
▪️Sacrifices
▪️Will you execute when it’s inconvenient…
▪️Or continue making excuses.
💢Decide.

Unfortunately, many people will treat you like sh-t & wonder why you dislike them.
As they say, "A Snake may shed its skin but it’s still a Snake and will always be a snake."
Great people do not waste time with unethical people.

Very Impressive! Harder on the track. The monotony of running 105.5 laps - RESPECT.

I started worrying I was getting soft lately…
Woke up and decided to suffer with a marathon on the track. 105.5 laps.
- Final Time: 2:56:16
- 6:42 Average Pace
- No Stops or Breaks
That was hard. Mental torture. Confirmed still a dog.
