My five main philosophies for training: 1ļøāƒ£ Intentional movement creates intentional progress 2ļøāƒ£ Joint position dictates muscular action 3ļøāƒ£ When we are young, more is good. The older we get, less is more.Ā  4ļøāƒ£ The quality of your recovery determines the quality of your work. 5ļøāƒ£ Slow progress is lasting progress.Ā  If any of the above resonates with you, letā€™s talk about your training. šŸ‘ŠšŸ½ . . . . #personaltrainer #personaltraining #performancecoach #functionalfitness #functionaltraining #speedandagilitytraining #weightlifting by @coachspicer9

Iā€™ve learned to appreciate wickets the more Iā€™ve used them. The constraint they provide is used to influence sprint strategy. By manipulating spacing of the hurdles we can encourage athletes to explore more effective positions and reorganize their movement without trying to consciously control every joint. This rep is a great example and you can pull so many pieces of information from it. Not every contact is perfect but watching how quickly the athlete reorganizes their movement strategy based on the environment to create a more effective sprint strategy will never get old. Athletes are problem solvers. Make an environment to guide movement, let the athlete solve it. Sprinting and juggling are pretty similar, theyā€™re both skills and theyā€™re both trainable. So train it. by @coachspicer9

TRAIN MOVEMENT, NOT JUST MUSCLES. Donā€™t get me wrong, muscle matters, but athletes donā€™t compete one muscle at a time. They sprint. Jump. Land. Cut. React. Produce force. Absorb force. And they have to coordinate all of it in fractions of a second. Thatā€™s why we focus training on more than just lifting weights. We use the weight room to build strength and physical capacity, then combine it with sprinting, jumping, movement skill, reactive training and motor learning to help athletes use that strength where it matters most in movement and sport! Research supports this approach as well. A 2026 meta-analysis of 34 studies and 1,057 participants found advantages to combining resistance and plyometric training for several sprint and jump outcomes compared with isolated training approaches. šŸ“šZhao, C., Zhu, Y., & Zhang, Y. (2026). BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 18, 82. To me, the goal isnā€™t to build better weightlifters. Itā€™s to build better movers who are stronger, faster and more powerful, and that carries beyond sport and into life. Thatā€™s Intent. by @coachspicer9

The time our youth get to play organized sports is already incredibly short, donā€™t let preventable injuries make it shorter. When the season gets busy, skipping the weight room is the first mistake. When athletes stop prioritizing strength training, theyā€™re 3x more likely to get hurt. In-season lifting isnā€™t about pushing heavy weight; itā€™s an insurance policy. Just two short sessions a week slashes injury risk by 66%. Keep them safe, strong, and on the field. by @coachspicer9

An important lesson I learned from working with athletes at the highest level is that talent alone isnā€™t enough. One of my great friends, @phalen_sanford37 , embodied this. Even as an incredibly talented athlete, Phalen knew athleticism alone wasnā€™t his ticket. Working with him was such a pleasure because I got to witness how a professional approaches their craft firsthand. He was a student of the game. If you know anything about his story, heā€™s the definition of grit. A kid from small town Dundy county, got an offer from Hastings college, decided that wasnā€™t enough and walked on to Nebraska. After that he found himself on an NFL roster. Anytime we talked itā€™d be about concepts, formations, coverages, technique and stories about ball. He was constantly learning and mastering his craft. The lesson to take? No matter what sport you play, strive to earn a PhD in your sport. Learn the details, study film, ask questions, understand why things happen, not just how to do them. The athletes who combine preparation with athletic ability are the ones who consistently rise above the competition. by @coachspicer9

My freshman year of football, our team lined up for a relay race to avoid a punishment. Everyone was counting on me. Growing up, my uncle drag raced cars, and I remember my mom told me, ā€œIf you want to be fast like a drag car, your tires have to stay on the ground.ā€ So I took off with the shortest, choppiest steps possible. I finished dead last. Not cause I wasnā€™t capable of being fast, I just didnā€™t know how to be fast Crazy enough, I didnā€™t truly learn how to run fast until my sophomore year of college football at Butler Community College. Competing against Division 1 bounce-backs every day forced me to find ways to move better, faster, and more efficiently. Thatā€™s why I donā€™t accept hearing young athletes say: ā€œIā€™m just not fast.ā€ Maybe youā€™re not fast yet, but speed is a skill and skills can be developed. I believe every athlete deserves the opportunity to discover what theyā€™re truly capable of before they start putting limits on themselves. āš” Train with purpose.ā€ØšŸ”„ Move with intent by @coachspicer9

One of the coolest experiences in my coaching career was getting to work with Lamar Jackson while he played for the Carolina Panthers. What stood out wasnā€™t just the physical ability. It was the intent behind every single rep. Some of the simplest exercises and movements (like a A-skip) we did had a different tune to it because it was done with purpose. Watching a high level athlete train is like watching a human Ferrari, the speed and power are incredible, but what separates them is the precision behind the machine. The biggest lesson I took away: Great athletes donā€™t just complete reps. They attack reps with purpose. That lesson has stuck with me throughout my coaching career and is something I try to bring to every athlete I work with today. Because these days some athletes sprint, about every athlete lifts weights, but only few athletes have intent. Whether an athlete is trying to make varsity, earn playing time, or reach the next level, the standard is the same: Train with intent. Thank you, and much love @royal_two_one āœŠ by @coachspicer9

I wanted to share with everyone that this morning I received the GREATEST award any strength and conditioning coach could ever receive. A thank you letter from an athlete. This athlete didnā€™t go division 1, and theyā€™re also not playing sports in college. But theyā€™re walking into this world with a massive key performance indicatorā€¦ Confidence. Lifting heavy weight is cool, running fast is awesome, juking the opponent out of their shoes is sick, and the feeling of winning is exhilarating, but none of those compare to life-enduring belief in oneā€™s self. Thank you Jesus for the answered prayer that I pray everyday before stepping foot in the weight room. I am blessed to be used to glorify His name by instilling confidence in our youth through performance. by @coachspicer9

Week 5! Letā€™s go!! It was a bad day to be 19 miles per hour! Still havenā€™t hit 21, but it feels pretty dang good to see that 2 as the front number again! I have a taper planned so we should see some cool things in the next 3 weeks! But weā€™ll have to wait till then. Shout out to @phalen_sanford37 for hopping in on the journey, heā€™s trying to push 22 miles per hour. Itā€™s been a ton of fun putting our minds together and helping each other with our mechanics, drills, and training approach. Want to hop in? DM 21 and Iā€™ll send you a sprinting program! #slowfeetdonteat by @coachspicer9

I didnā€™t get faster this weekā€¦ but I figured out WHY. Week 4 of my journey to 21 mph and this might be the most important breakdown yet. We found a few things in my sprint mechanics that are probably holding me back more than I thought and fixing them could be the difference. If youā€™re a coach, what do you see? Comment your breakdown! Shoutout to @phalen_sanford37 for diving in to the challenge as well and bouncing ideas off one another. Was an absolute blast to hear different perspectives, ideas, and implementations. Alsoā€¦ shout out to the social media animals, this is much harder than it looks, respect to anyone doing this consistently. Iā€™m ready to not film and edit another video again! Want to join in on all the fun, but donā€™t have a program? Shoot me a DM or comment 21! by @coachspicer9
