photo courtesy of Joe Schillero The Elitefts Sports Performance Training Summit I would be lying if I didn't say we have been planning this event since May of 2013. There are about a thousand things we need to do better from a logistical standpoint, but overall I couldn't be happier. I could not do this weekend justice without writing an eBook so I will leave you with some quotes from the weekend courtesy of the YSCC. I really appreciate the YSCC giving a live feed on the afternoon with some great quotes.
And here we go!
@elitefts Sports Performance Training Summit!

Let the body solve complex motor problems in a chaotic environment, not functional movement screens.

Stop focusing on a great plan A. What will you do when you need a plan B? Life happens and is always plan B.

When studying great coaches...don’t always look for their differences, look for their common denominators!

The best way to evaluate athlete readiness? See if you’re athletes chat during the warm-up. You don’t hear anything, they aren’t ready! — YSCC (@TheYSCC)

Movement screens have been around forever. They're called "watching your athletes move".

Why wouldn’t you want to develop a program that trains total body each day? Isn’t that how they compete in sport?

You’ll never olympic lift more than you can deadlift. Train the deadlift to build confidence in the 1st pull off the floor!

Training at 100% intensity and 100% of effort are two different things. Make sure you know the difference.

Young coaches, when you have a 20 rung ladder to climb to your dream, you need to climb every one of those rungs.

Sometimes in coaching we forget the golden rule; treat our athletes how we want to be treated. Courage = love
