Entertaining that folks on Twitter say that a pro athlete "sucks." Yes, he sucks so badly that he's in top .001% on planet in his sport. 🤔

The single most important long-term athletic development goal: never significantly detrain foundational strength qualities during a season. Progress in the teenage years should be very linear. As an example, once you can deadlift 315lbs, don’t ever lose that strength proficiency.

I dislike the "take a month off" recommendation for athletes at season's end. Training shouldn't be an "all in" or "all out" decision; there are many levels of involvement, & the lowest tiers can be very impactful. Pick the lowest hanging fruit in the 1st month of the offseason.

Being a good athlete requires selfishness to a degree; you must prioritize how/when you eat, sleep and train. Being a great coach is about being selflessness; you must serve others. This adjustment is why some good athletes struggle to be good coaches. It's not about you anymore.

Power is plane-specific. Don't expect just lifting weights, sprinting, and jumping to magically carry over to rotational power. Medicine ball work is an awesome add-on to round out a comprehensive strength and conditioning program for rotational sport athletes. 💪 #cspfamily

By my calculations, that's $140 million in guaranteed MLB money to three former @NSU_Baseball players in less than a year. But keep telling me how you HAVE to play for a D1 school.

Worthy of note: San Francisco's obesity rate of 14.8% (as of 2017) is a lot lower than the current national average of 42.8%. Surprising this didn't get a mention in the article.

Of the 20 most populous cities in the U.S., San Francisco has the lowest death rate per capita from COVID-19. If the entire country had followed the city’s approach, says a @UCSF doctor, there would be just 50,000 dead from the pandemic instead of 220,000+

Many young coaches think they’ll get hired for what they know. The truth is that most employers understand what competencies will make you successful, so they hire for what they think you’ll eventually know. Your growth mindset is far more important than your resume today.

1-leg RDL anti-rotation taps: great balance drill for throwers. Research shows improved balance equates to improved pitching performance.

Being firmly yes/no on every issue to seek controversy might get you retweets, but it’s a shockingly poor strategy for building long-term relationships that underpin career success. Recognizing a grey area of “it depends” exists makes it easier to build rapport and get results.

Trying to improve shoulder range-of-motion, cuff strength, and scapular control during the baseball season is like trying to change the tire on a car that's still moving. In other words, April is the time when a lot of players realize how inferior their offseason preparation was.

There are huge differences among what athletes need to do, want to do, and are willing to do. Good luck finding a coaching textbook that can walk you through these important differentiations. Time in the trenches to establish relationships and read personalities is imperative.

Sleep deprivation and dehydration can lead to significant cognitive and physical impairments, which isn't exactly ideal for motor learning. Before you write off a coaching strategy as ineffective, make sure the athletes are actually ready to be coached in the first place.
