Coaching athletes is not the only thing I care about here. Coaching the coaches who will run this place after me is just as important.

I did not build 639 to be the only person capable of running a good session. I built it so the standard exists no matter who is on the floor. That means sitting down with the coaches on staff, passing on what took me years to learn, correcting them the same way I correct an athlete, because getting that wrong costs more than a bad rep.

This is the part that does not get posted much. It is also the part that decides whether 639 outlasts me.

The athletes who actually make it aren’t the most talented ones in the room. They’re the ones who never needed motivation to do the unglamorous stuff.

Everyone wants the results. Few want to build the boring stuff underneath them. This is what separates the ones who show up prepared from the ones who show up hoping.

Your hips might be the reason you feel stuck at top speed.

Everyone chases more sprint work when their top end stalls. Rarely fixes it, because the actual limit is not effort, it is what your hips are allowing you to do once you are already moving.

Three things I use to open that up. Nothing complicated, just consistent, and it is usually the piece that was missing the whole time.

If your speed has plateaued and nobody has looked at your hips yet, this is probably why.

Most coaches find something that works and stay there. I have never been able to do that.

I am constantly pulling exercises apart, testing angles, loading patterns, movements nobody is coaching yet, just to see if there is a better way to get an athlete the result they need. Some of it goes nowhere. Some of it changes how I coach for good.

This is the part of the job nobody sees. Not the sessions, not the results, the hours spent curious about a better way before anyone else even knew there was a question worth asking.

That curiosity is the whole reason 639 does not coach like anywhere else. I refuse to stay comfortable with what already works when there might be something better sitting right past it.

Elijah’s fourth off season with me. Watching him move like this now is not talent, it is four years of doing the boring stuff first.

Strength built properly, then everything else gets built on top of it.

This is what patience actually looks like over time.

Watched the 49ers and Rams tear it up at the MCG and thought you could hang. Think again.

Every position on that field demands something specific. Speed for one, power for another, change of direction most people have never had to train for in their life. It is not just size. It is not just talent. It is a very particular set of characteristics built over years, not weekends.

If you do not have it yet, that is not the end of the conversation. That is exactly what a trainer is for.

Drop below, which position do you reckon you would survive at, even for one play.

Testing week is up there as one of my favourite weeks. You get to actually see if what you did in the gym worked.

Not what someone tells you, not how a session felt. The number either moved or it didn’t. That’s honestly the part I look forward to most, watching someone realise the work actually did something.

I try to push everyone a bit harder in the weeks leading into it because of this. You want to walk into testing knowing, not hoping.
