- Absolutely NO Jumps in the weight room for starters in-season. They are getting that bucket filled from games and practice ❌ - Lower minute players will jump at least x3 a week as part of their development program. Got to keep them ready when called upon! ✅

As hard as we all train our athletes and with as much physical stress they are under, help them to relax, reset and recover whenever possible. I heard someone refer to S&C Coaches as stress managers. Today’s session ended with this thought in mind 😴

Elevating the heels in a squat takes out ankle mobility limitations and allows my 6”9 athletes to hit actual depth in any squat. Also allows full VMO development, which is a primary knee stabilizer, and for the athlete to hold an upright posture while squatting. 95lbs - acc phase

In-season training for me is about filling buckets that aren’t being used during the sport competition. For ex, one of my starters has jumped 2,000 times during our first 5 games ( @KinexonSports ), zero velocity work is a must for him and all other high minute players! 🪣

Big fan of jumping chin ups for reactive strength. Skill component to it also, as well as the need for good intent!! Added in a 2 sec pause at the bottom for Alex today, didn’t want any extra momentum for his rebound jump, will be adding this in more now I’ve tried it out.

Variety of training stimulus is key to long term improvements - In-season programs last two weeks before we change up the exercises and rep schemes - Development group do a lot of jump training in the WR in-season. Mix it up, get creative. Here are a few examples of these.

Optional session = autonomy Could be a big misconception around autonomy in the weight room and lack of effort/detail/intensity. From my experience I see the same, if not more effort when the guys choose what they want to do that day. Try it!

Non-conf schedule usually means team lifts before practice. High min/low min/redshirt/inj plans can all work in a group setting. Sheets on the racks, a detailed weight room layout plan and everything already set up is crucial for an efficient session when time is tight.
