My programming philosophy is a culmination of all the great coaches I have worked with or learned from throughout my entire athletic career. People have helped me out so I hope this can help someone else out.

Along Fowler Ave., where a cleanup is underway after the Champs Sports store was burned down last night.
Whoโs leading it? None other than @USFFootball QB @Jordan_McCloud3 and his brother @RMIII_34.

Train everybody like an explosive track star, chances are youโll be checking a lot of very good boxes.

Sprinting, plyos, and field work are critical right now. Neural adaptations will have global effects on all other athletic qualities that may not be able to be addressed right now. #sprint #jump #stayinshape

This pandemic has already revealed that:
- schools are so much more than just schools.
- many people now realize how tough it is to be a teacher and that teachers are grossly underpaid.
- teachers are irreplaceable and essential to learning and education.

What if you prayed about it instead of worried about it? Research shows prayer boosts the immune system and enhances happiness. Worry weakens the immune system and is a major source of unhappiness.
Prayer >worry.

โMost speed development programs fail because they get hooked on shiny things...Understand what youโre doing first...You can be fancy, or you can be fast...simple stuff works.โ

No surprise heโs ripping off long runs every game - Sound technique is a prerequisite for an athlete to develop optimal speed. Sprinting mechanics are the heart of any legit program, speed is merely a side effect. stack.com/a/how-dialing-in-hโฆ

If I can run 23 mph and you can only run 18 mph, I can get tired and still run 19 mph. Your sorry ass is running at top speed and you canโt keep up with me. Then you get tired and you really suck. - @pntrack

Man I love this by @pntrack - Speed Reserve is some of the best โconditioningโ an athlete can have. Higher absolute speed ceiling creates higher submaximal speeds and less required energy to achieve them.

๐ Some of the Worst Football Coaches are the Loudest
๐ฌ โIf youโve ever been around a loud coach, one that just screams & yells, listen to what heโs saying & see if heโs even teaching.โ
๐ฌ โWe have players that need to be taught & we need teachers.โ
