“They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” - Michael Boyle

The most important trait we look for in coaches is if they are a CNP: Certified nice person. If you can’t connect, you can’t coach - regardless of the knowledge you possess.

Here, Coach Jack breaks down the top 5 most important soft skills required to become a great coach to our new intern squad.

1️⃣How you present yourself

Attire, hygiene, and demeanor all contribute to your presence.

2️⃣ Energy management

Coaching is a performance. Aim to bring consistent energy to each session.

3️⃣ Coach-ability

Leave your ego at the door. The best coaches are always open to correction and learning.

4️⃣ Being a valued teammate

Artificial harmony achieves nothing. Shared standards create cohesion. Take initiative to help your teammate when possible and they’ll do the same for you.

5️⃣ Adaptabilty

Coach the person in front of you and meet them where they’re at.

Don’t prioritize being the smartest person in the weight room. Instead, be the person who builds the strongest relationships.

The offseason is important.

But the reality is most athletes don’t really have one anymore.

The three-sport athlete with a summer off is becoming a thing of the past. With year-round schedules, in-season training is just as important as what you do in the offseason.

Our Summer session kicks off next week. Whether you’re in season, out of season, or somewhere in between, the goal should stay the same: Keep training.

We’ll help you figure out exactly how💪👍

Choosing weights is where the science of strength training meets the art of coaching.

After the first work set, we have three choices:

⬆️ Increase the weight
➡️ Repeat the weight
⬇️ Decrease the weight

The last rep should look like the last rep. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but we shouldn’t be sacrificing movement quality nor feeling like we have tons more in the tank to give.

Too heavy and athletes fail. Too light and they’re not challenged enough. The best coaches know how to find the middle ground.

Slow and steady wins the race. A 5-pound increase each week adds up over time, which is why we aren’t afraid to make small jumps with 1¼-pound plates.

Long-term success is built one good set at a time. 💪

It’s staff training week‼️

We kicked off the week by welcoming our newest intern squad. Over the next few months, they’ll coach, observe, ask questions, and hopefully leave knowing one thing:

There’s always more to learn.

As Mike explains, understanding how much you don’t know is often the first step toward becoming a better coach.

Stay curious and observe with an open mind. 🧠
Let’s get at it! 👊

Coach Jack breaking down the move and emphasizing what we’re looking for: Unilateral power.

This move encourages us to lower the load while raising the demand for control, balance, and force production - one leg at a time, at speed.

College athletes proceeded to tear up some reps🙂‍↕️

Coach Vinny with some elite tips on how to properly execute change of direction drills.

✔️ Open up as you approach the turn
✔️ Drop / lower your center of gravity
✔️ Push out of the cut

Learning how to slow down and re-accelerate is what shaves seconds off of reps and makes for smooth, efficient changes of direction with less wasted energy.

A big mistake in training is treating it like it only matters for the current season or the current goal.

Every session is an investment in long-term.

The way you train in your teens, 20s, and 30s sets foundation for how you move, recover, and perform in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Training doesn’t need to be complicated. KISS. Keep it super simple. It needs to be something achievable, built around quality movement, basic strength, and repeatable habits that people can actually sustain - even when life gets busy.

Stack the sessions to invest in your long term health. Two full body sessions just twice a week is enough to move the need and keep you going well down the road.

Get at it this week like our awesome adult members in this vid💪
