The heaviest weight on the bar isn’t always the most force an athlete can produce
The @UW_Football staff on how they build force across a full training system, with @TOwens034, Ben Creamer, and @_Mojo7_:
✅ Weight lifted and force produced aren’t the same thing, so train for the quality you actually want
✅ Muscles can produce more force lowering (eccentrically) than lifting, so load accordingly
✅ Isokinetics (a fixed concentric speed limit, so the harder you push, the more force you make) open the door to high-force work earlier in return-to-play
✅ Heavy running can build the ankle and calf stiffness that helps an athlete produce high forces when sprinting
Know the force you’re after, then build the stimulus to get it

It's time for the swing to come back...
Jeff Teague says the workouts got easier in the NBA and he actually got hurt more than he did in college
“No, they care. It’s just the way you train. Like Gil said it. I remember I got hurt because the way I started training when I got to the NBA, it was different than when I trained when I was in college. Like, I was a machine in college.”
“When I worked out with them football dudes, I was a machine. As soon as I got to the league and the workouts went to more easier things, like, ‘All right, just three sets of this, get a little core’, all of a sudden I start having knee pains. All of a sudden I start having all these other things.”
“Then at the end of my career, I started lifting like I did in high school and college and stuff, and I’m like, ‘Oh, I feel good.’ But my body done already had that wear and tear. It was over with.”
“And now I lift like we did when I was in college. Now my knees don’t hurt. Now I feel good. And I’m like, ‘I’m 40.’ It ain’t pointless because you’re trying to be healthy forever. But while you’re in the league, that stuff do matter. I should have been lifting like I was in college.”

An important reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Success is never on discount! Greatness is never on sale! Greatness is never half off! It’s all or nothing!

Don’t confuse your role with your value.
Championship players don’t count minutes; they make their minutes count.
A good teammate will never be defined by their role.
A good teammate will be defined by their willingness to excel in that role.

Coach, where was ‘The Process’ born?
“At Michigan State.”
Nick Saban says a Michigan State University professor inspired his famed “process” for success.
“I’ll forever be indebted to Michigan State.”

A decades-long tradition gets a new fan component in 2026.
Before the Huskies make their way from the locker room to the tunnel - and then the field - fans will be invited to participate in a custom rendition of the “Say Who, Say What” chant.
Led by the on-field emcee, UW Spirit and the Husky Marching Band, fans will help call the Dawgs out for the team entrance. Arrive early and get loud!
