Training needs to focus on being smart…not a smarty pants. Foundational movements repeated with loading, unloading, speed, with a plan, purpose, intent…consistently done with continuity. If you’re gonna coach cleans, COACH them all the time. Once a week for an under-experienced athlete will NOT be a good outcome. If the whole basis of your speed plan is speed ladders and acceleration ladders, realize they ARE not going to increase game speed and reactive speed. If after every training session, your end result of a coach is to have them heavy breathe and condition the hell outta them, when his/her season is 6-7 months out, WTF are you doing? Last but not least…this one has bothered me a bit…why does EVERYONE all of a sudden just squat heels elevated? 😤. There’s a time and place…just bc it’s being used doesn’t mean, we forget how to do it all…bc you saw it online doesn’t mean it’s beneficial all the time. (That rhymed) Don’t be a smarty pants, just do what’s smart. Keep rolling the week and let’s get after it!!!!! Good Stuff!!!!

There is NO wavering on this FACT…you must train ALL year. There is no down time. There are no extended breaks. Bc you are “playing” doesn’t neglect your need to train. You can always create an excuse. We adapt all year to each athlete and the season they are in. Very blunt though, most have such little training experience that they can LITERALLY gain all year. Why train for 3 months to be great game 1? What about game 12? Build to be conditioned, only to not sustain work capacity? This doesn’t make sense. YET, every year there are discussions and reminders being sent. Make the effort because it will be WORTH the sacrifice. Good Stuff!!!!

Our last post of ‘22…pretty much sums up HOW AWESOME our is. Pic 1…subtly building two monsters. 1.5 months ago these two battled AGAINST each other for a Championship. Yesterday they trained together for the first time. Been around each other, but first session together. Come back in a couple years…and that number will be in the hundreds. Can’t wait to see them grow as awesome people. Pic 2….teammates…sometimes training together but rarely. BUT work their tails off and support the hell outta each other. Always telling me about how well the other one is doing. Pic 3…example of how awesome our relationship is with athletes. Plus this lady is just an awesome person and a pillar of the successes the athletes find and garner. Pic 4…L is growing up with ALL of our athletes. He’s around a ton. He sees all of them. Knows all of them. Doesn’t always talk to all of them, but they know him and he loves them. Watches it all. I can’t thank the athletes enough as they do nothing but help lead him and friend him. Pic 5…spoils of a good day. Celebrating the small stuff. Celebrating the good stuff. It has to happen. It has to be done. Not in others’ successes…BUT in our FTSfamily’s growth as individuals, teammates, and as always GOOD PEOPLE!!!! Happy New Year to all Near & Far that are in our FTSfamily. Be safe and to another awesome year!!!! Good Stuff!!!!

Watching the different levels of “Training Experience” grow in the facility is awesome. 4-levels IMO 1. Brand new to training. Doesn’t matter age, and maybe only time has been with a s**tty coach or HS weight room 2. Same as above and just follows “bro” or “fitspo” peeps online to see what should be done. 3. In our for a few months 4. In our FTSfamily for over 18months straight. Over break we’ve had these mixes together and it’s pretty cool to watch the adaptation at all levels. You see the first 3 are all fresh with NO clue despite what they want to tell me or their parents. So fresh they have no clue. Everything is rushed if not hawked over. If not told every finite detail, the project explodes. They constantly need reassurance and support. Which is fine and 100% acceptable. It’s still NEW. Our experienced crew, which is NOT age dependent, understand why I may not respond immediately. They get the silence and delay. They understand cuing is CONSTANT and not just when right or wrong. The SYSTEM has entrenched them into Training with Purpose and Intent. 1,2,3 constantly are learning. 4 is constantly learning as well, but have a better understanding of the application of training and coaching. Great Week!!!! Good Stuff!!!!

BIG thanks to the Crew Friday for helping get it down. BIG BIG thanks to the Peeps Today that helped clean it up and touch up a couple finer points. Almost there with it. Gotta keep the place looking 🔥 If not for the things would not go as smoothly. Athletes & Adults taking time out to make sure their second home is exactly that. Good Stuff!!!!

If putting the work in…then it never slows. There’s always something to get better at, maintain, or begin. Keep at it and let’s have a week!!!! Good Stuff!!!!

This is how my Friday night finished. I don’t work with the younglings all the time…but I spend a good deal with them and some of our other outlier youth. Right here we were about 2.5 billions dollars into building a Home that was originally a school, that we had NO budget on, nor ANY concern for money. They even got me to agree to a full Gaming room…once they agreed to having a retractable roof for our “other weight room” that was attached to our full field training bubble. 🤣🔥 AND the whole time it was discussed during our rest periods and transition. Two would go to wrestling right after and the third to basketball 7:30 this am. NO complaints. Not one peep about being tired or not wanting to be training in the moment. Smiles, laughs, some serious work…and some wrangling occasionally. We don’t take all young kids or all athletes…we take the ones that want something out of their training. Then you are more then welcome. Then you are Good Stuff!!!!

Our will stay steadfast to a few things. 1. You NEED to train ALL year. It’s not seasonal. Training adjusts to the season, NOT all or nothing approach. 2. Age appropriate strength work is necessary. Without it Speed does NOT develop. Sorry peeps whom think arm action and leg recovery is gonna do it. It ain’t. 3. Sport specific work is always adhered to…since when did becoming a better athlete NOT help at your sport? So yeah all work is sport specific if progressed correctly. 4. Power, Speed, Strength all work together!!!! Now learn how to use it and then ya got a win. 5. WE are NOT like all. Yes we coach very hard. We work our athletes very hard. NO we aren’t for everybody. If you want to be held accountable then you’re for us and our Family. If you want to be told how great you are…and things are easy FIND somewhere else. That’s not an insult or “mean” or “bullying” it’s called TRUTH. Now are ya in or out? Bc we see a lotta crappy stuff going on. Good Stuff!!!!

A very consistent question I get from athletes, parents, and coaches…what does it take? Better yet what are the sacrifices you make to be your best. More so…what do you think you’re doing compared to what you’re actually doing. You’ll claim you wanna be your best…but are you actually doing it? Be a kid, be a good person, be a great leader, be kind…be also BE. Don’t talk it or social media show it with highlights…BE and LIVE it. I will never say I had sacrificed too much…sometimes maybe a touch too much or the direction wasn’t where it should be, BUT sure as s**t I wasn’t gonna be outworked or beat that way. Cleaning some personal stuff up I ran into some old training programs/journals/files etc…and bc I have tendencies I collected it all for some data. Now by no means do I ever expect an athlete to do that much…now is a much smarter/efficient time. But are you in the BE and LIVE it? Or do ya complain about not gaining? Not sleeping? Not doing? You claim it…GO own it. Great week!!!! Good Stuff!!!!

Yup knows how to enjoy their time together. and I got married and some of the fam was there. I want to make sure everyone knows how grateful I am for the support. All the messages, texts, kind words for us both. We had a blast and may still be recovering a bit. Thanks for a great evening and all the love from us both. Good Stuff!!!!
