My football players were being held back by strength deficits that are left underdeveloped in most high school programs—development of speed and maximal strength in the weight room. Here’s how I filled in the gaps.

You will most likely never find yourself in a situation like this. Don’t feel bad for yourself by not having access to the weight room and your teammates/coaches. Your competition is probably not training right now. TAKE ADVANTAGE!

Where do all of the football players go when they are unable to reach their playing goals in college or the National Football League?

Whatever the reason, what does a strength coach do when things are not going as expected? This is one of the hardest things to deal with, whether you are new at this business, or have been in it for a while.

When should the athletes lift? Where is the total training volume based from? How is intensity individualized within a team setting?

When the tall, piper-cleaner thin baseball player showed up, I didn’t think he’d last long. I was wrong.

The huddle has everything to do with your team’s success. What might surprise you is that it also has everything to do with your success in life.

I don’t have one. I have a system.
