Middle School Girls please DO NOT train your upper body...

If you don’t want to:

1. Be stronger than middle school boys

2. Do cool things like hit homeruns

3. Keep your shoulders safe for things like spiking a volleyball or pitching

4. Stay healthy in contact sports like basketball, wrestling, and soccer

PLEASE DON’T train your upper-body if you don’t want those things!

But if you do want those things...follow for more upper body training for middle school athletes! by @mc_training_

Low key might have to keep running😳… this was the most fun I had in a long time. Competing is so much 7.45/60m to start a long journey of sprinting???

A coaches job is to hold their athlete to a higher standard than even the athlete has set for themselves. I could have easily given her this PR, but we both know that it wasn't to our standards. Letting her slide with it will only push out standards lower and lower, eventually to the point where we no longer have high expectations. Am I overthinking it? Possibly. Am I a mean coach? No, just have high expectations and standards. by @mc_training_

40” jump review - @syc_performance

Damn near text book jump 😳

2 things I would recommend to improve is getting that penultimate step to land closer to underneath COM so you maintain every bit of the speed you build up with that powerful approach

The other fix is getting that left foot to land more in front of your body (in line with the left shoulder) it looks slightly behind you.

Can’t wait to see that 45” jump🔥

Girls do not need to be strong to be successful in sports...

If you believe that statement ⬆ STOP READING

If you don't believe that statement, you are right where you need to be.

GIRLS need to work just as hard or even harder then boys to be strong and athletic.

BUT putting that work in and building confidence in your body and abilities is worth all the pain and suffering you have to endure to become a dominate athlete!🔥 by @mc_training_

Day 5/100 @jcj.athletic jump review

Chasing a dunk following an ACL injury

Getting decent height already but when you regain confidence in your ability again through:

1. Strengthening lower body
2. Increasing entrance speed slowly

You will see an increase in jump height

A recommendation is earn your steps

1. Start with a Gather step and feel the block leg get in front of you

2. Work back to penultimate step and feel the plant and block leg land stiff in front of COM

3. Add your second step, adding in speed while seeing good shapes

4. 3 step approach with speed and good shapes

Your popping up issue during your penultimate I think is a result of you trying to find ways to jump higher without adding more entrance speed

Comment ‘review’ if you want your jump analyzed

What idiot let them pick their own Exercises?

Me: 🤦‍♂ (certified strength coach)

JK! I told them to figure it out because I wanted them to explore different ways to move their body and coordinate their action... (this is one of the ways I build coordination and help them become FREAK ATHLETES)

Which hop variations looked the most fun?! by @mc_training_

1 ft jump review @trainwithming

Gets the dunk but here is what I see we can approve

•better acceleration into take-off. Short and quick push into penultimate @1footgod example

•get hips pointed to the basket @johnevans_thp example

•add a slight curve could help with loweringnof COM so you aren’t forcing it. Would also lead to rolling over inside of right ankle rather than straight over top so it doesn’t end up parallel to the ground
