I think football players should only do off season 7 on 7 tournaments in trainers...no cleats!!!
They just can't handle it....the stress!
...see how dumb that sounds?!
It's okay to spike up for sprint sessions early in the season.
I’ve gotten a fair amount of messages asking if we test in spikes. Like what?! Who tests in flats? What's the point?

Lately I've really been at peace using this philosophy. Especially around coaching and leadership. Based on something my dad shared with me.. "Bees dont waste their time convincing flies, why honey tastes better than shit"
I'm so proud of my daughter.

If you're a track coach, particularly for sprints and has struggled with #wickets and spacing. I've converted #VinceAnderson #MaxVelocity to an easier to read format . If this helps you, don't be shamed #follow
I'm a Coach like all of you still learning.

@scorpionflagfb I have an athlete in Hawai'i that is raw speed and talent. She attends @mckinleytigers in Honolulu and has family in Vegas. Could you share a questionnaire, maybe standards for becoming a student athlete. Here's footage of her 2.507 over 20yds.. 19.9 mph!!

You'd believe if you flew 7+ hours from DFW to HNL. When you arrived there'd be a gate for you. #AA5 @AmericanAir did they not expect us?
Track Athletes, especially sprinters are assigned a workout. 80% 85%, 90% OF WHAT. I've always believed this is based on your PR or target time. Here's a simple calculator to determine what the time goal should be for the rep.

A decent, sub 12.00 in the 100m yesterday. Lane 1... I wanted to just focus on my first 30m and shut it down.
Not bad for a 51 year old that hasn't trained.
Damnit.

Schools, in particular, are horrible with this concept.
Schools, too often, force-feed mandatory curriculum through teachers who are forced to become robots who paint by number.
“I've never found in my whole life that you could convince someone who doesn't want to work hard to work hard.” ~Steve Jobs
Most coaches don’t understand this. They PUSH their athletes. It’s a daily grind of forcing kids to do HARD WORK.
The key is to create an environment where kids WANT TO WORK HARD. You want the hard work to become the best part of their day.
When you love something, you don’t have to be PUSHED. The mission pulls you.

🚨UNPOPULAR OPINION🚨
Athletes IN-SEASON don’t need to be going to workouts for their OUT OF SEASON sport.
You on basketball, you aren’t needed at soccer or football or baseball.
You at football, you aren’t needed at lax or wrestling.
Focus on your current sport and team.
Sharing some information I received. So far a decent resource and pretty spot on with results/data. The #CollegeRecruiting data /guidance for #TrackAndField is very accurate from a parents perspective.
