After meeting Nate Harvey and reading his ebook, I decided to try out a conjugate-based system with two of my teams, men’s soccer and women’s volleyball, during the spring semester. Here’s what we did, how it worked, and changes I’m making moving forward.

My thirteen-year-old daughter recently started a single weekly session, supplemented with interval running and sports specific training exercises. This is how she’s training for lacrosse.

When I started to apply this 8-phase setup with my high school and college athletes, not only did their technique, mobility, and flexibility improve, but they also looked and felt stronger.

For most people who step into a gym, your training isn’t a matter of life and death. For police officers, it is.

These six missteps of sports training could keep your athletes small and weak — or worse, injured on the sideline.

Not incorporating a full body warm up at the beginning of your upper body lift? It’s all connected…

Stretching. This little ten-letter word has the capability to cause chaos.

This warm–up will get you under the bar in ten minutes or less.

The final block in Coach X’s GPP program… Get ready to work.

All you need is five minutes to foam roll, five minutes to do the breathing and bracing, and five minutes to do the dynamic warm up and you’re all set!

One of the biggest challenges for a performance coach when working with athletes is finding the time to train them while working around their other commitments.

As your old high school gym teacher might have led you to believe, stretching before weight training isn’t the best way to warm up. Recent reports show that static stretching before exercise can reduce muscle strength. Stretching relaxes your muscles, so why would you want to relax your muscles when you need to lift explosively during weight training?
