Never. Miss. A. Monday. 💪 Start your week strong and set the tone for everything that follows. One solid workout today = momentum for the days ahead. Let’s go! #achieve
If you’re an athlete that has aspirations of competing at a high level, or just being the best you can be, your choices can make or break your chances.
One of these is your strength and conditioning. In swimming, for instance, hundredths of a second matter.

For all the "talking head" losers out there @benbruno1 is a really good strength coach (I wont even use the term trainer here). Sadly players get hurt. If you work with enough high profile players odds are that some will get injured. Sadly it happens. Losers post videos about it.
For those of you that think Tyrese Haliburton (or any elite athlete) tore his Achilles tendon because of a “bad training program,” why didn’t he tear it the game before?!
Injuries and pain are complex. Find ways to have less time bickering on the internet 😉.

In youth sports (as in life), parents must be comfortable saying “no.” If you aren't comfortable saying no, find a coach who'll say no for you. If you have a coach who doesn't like you saying no, find a new team. You can't say yes to every team, tournament, showcase, or lesson.

Quality warmups are a cheat code. From a review of 11 studies on 6,344 soccer players: a basic 20-minute warm-up (FIFA 11) reduced injuries by 30%. The results can be even more pronounced with an individualized approach. This isn't complex - but it does need to be consistent.

Constantly remind yourself of how little you truly know and of how mysterious the world remains

Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 hard workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of focused work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it as the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.

How to be successful (according to the Stoics):
1. Do the hard thing first
2. Be ruthless to things that don’t matter
3. Attack the dawn
4. Strict with yourself, tolerant with others
5. Always do the right thing
6. Practice, practice, practice

At first glance, a countermovement jump might not look like it applies to swimming, but it does. It’s just one of many different tests/metrics we can use to keep out athletes performing at their best! #achieve

Does lifting weights stunt kids’ growth? No.
Let’s settle this once and for all: Strength training with weights does not harm kids’ growth plates. It does not stunt height. It does not lower bone mineral density.
In fact, it does the opposite.
Strength training enhances bone formation and bone mineral density in kids. The improvement in bone quality seen during the teenage years has lasting benefits, helping to protect against bone issues later in life.
In short, strength training—and active play, especially activities that involve jumping and landing—helps kids develop stronger, healthier bodies now and in the future.
Yes, it’s important not to overdo it. Yes, training should be done under proper coaching to ensure correct form. But when done correctly, strength training is great for kids.

My wife (an optometrist) once observed, "I had to go to nine years of school for eyes. Trainers have the entire body and they don’t have to go to any? That's scary."
The barrier to entry in our industry is far too low.
