DON'T TALK ABOUT IT

Be about it.

As a coach, you should not be writing a workout you wouldn't do yourself. That is disingenuous. Don't ask someone to go to war if you won't yourself.

And when life throws curveballs, show uou are about it. Get knocked down as long as you get back up and try again.

Excited for a new chapter.

SPORT IDENTITY

You spend years training for a sport, and when it is over you end up lost.

The trick? Keep training like you could end up on the field tomorrow.

While the goal is no longer to perform, you can still keep your body ready to go. Intent stays, the end goal is all that changes. Not to mention, you keep training in a way you enjoy. Makes it easier to stay consistent.

YOUR TRAINING NEEDS TO TRANSLATE

And training like a body builder will not push the needle for sports.

Now, that is not to say having more muscle will not help, but how you use it is more important.

Training for esthetics is very different than training for performance. This is not discrediting the work of a body builder, it is incredibly hard, but having good looking tissue and having tissue that can replicate movement are very different.

Athletes need the exposure in all planes of motion. We can't build them if they are all show no go.

Expose them to the uncomfortable and make it comfortable. That is the sauce to building an athlete.

TRANSFER

The necessary quality to help deceleration become acceleration and vice versa.

The key is getting the body to be smooth and controlled through the middle range of movement. Where the body is going from one quality to another.

Most athletes are really good at production or acceptance. An inability to transition is where they may find a bigger struggle.

Train the transfer, be more efficient and effective on the field.

DECELERATION

One's ability to stop force.

The first and most important part of any training cycle.

It is your ability to slow down safely and efficiently. If you learn to master deceleration, acceleration becomes that much easier.

We have to slow you down in order to speed you up. A Ferrari is useless without its brakes.

IT'S MORE THAN THE SPORT

It's the quality.

Finding the way to train that exhibits the quality of sport.

How do we accept force and how do we transfer that into producing force.

Learn how to efficiently move from acceptance to production and you will become infinitely better.

BRICK BY BRICK

That is how it has to be.

The house may be falling apart, but we build it back brick by brick.

Controlling what we can control, moving what we can move, regaining everything piece by piece.

The comeback is always greater than the fall off.

DEAR RUGBY,

Thank you.

17 years. All the memories, experience, and friends you have brought me can never be replicated. You have taken me to some extraordinary places, helped me meet the greatest of friends, and teach me life lessons.

You entered my life when I was described as "a shell of a human" and helped me find myself. Gave me something to look forward to every day for all these years. An escape. A safe place to learn who I am. A gratitude I can truly never express.

With all the good you have provided me, you have also taken your toll on me. My body has been battered and bruised. And unfortunately, it can't keep up anymore.

While it is not easy to admit, I am not the young kid that could keep up with you anymore. For all the great memories you gave me, you gave me equal days feeling awful. And unfortunately, it is time to part ways with that feeling. I want this to be on my terms rather than be forced out. Now feels like the right time.

I am not leaving you entirely. I just can't play anymore. I will still coach and take part in touch and the odd 7s game, but I cannot keep up with the full time pace anymore.

I am excited to give back to you what you gave me and help a new generation love you as I did. I promise to keep you close, but we just have to be friends.

Yours truly,

A retiring player. by @schafeshow13

FIND A WAY

It is what I preach to my clients and athletes.

It is something I need to be better at.

Injuries happen. You can have a pity party or you can find a way to work through.

Time to lock in and choose hard.

New chapter, new focus.
