Attempt selection is a skill. While it’s much simpler than what most coaches and lifters tend to make it much more complicated than it actually is. It’s a skill that you develop over time making the most precise decisions especially in a given moment on meet day. For smaller/local meets the goal should be 9/9 especially for newer lifters. But there is some flexibility to be more aggressive and have fun on the day.

When it comes to regional / national level meets it’s critical to come in with a game plan and having your ranges on the day. As a coach it’s important to

A- be confident in the lifter, be confident in yourself and the decisions you make.

B- be as objective as possible and leave emotions out of your decisions. Anytime you decide to deviate drastically from your game plan it’s easy for the wheels to fall off and crash and burn.

C - at the end of the day it’s not about you, it’s about the lifter and deciding what puts them in the best position possible to win and/or place as high as possible. When the lifter understands the stakes and being on the same page as the coach the goal becomes objective rather than emotionally chasing numbers.

Meet day handling is a skill just as much as competing. Everything from loading the bar for your lifters, timing their warm ups, choosing the right words/actions to instill confidence in them, and being even scouting the competition to put your lifters in best position as possible is critical to understand.

Unpopular opinions 🤷‍♂️

Necessary truths for real progress? 💯

If you give a 💩 about your total, then these apply to you. Quit your BS

➡️ Stop chasing PRs/numbers BEFORE the meet. If you peak correctly, you peak on the platform, not in the gym.

➡️ Cut your gym distractions and stop messing around on your phone. Get in, train hard, get out.

➡️ Going through the motions on accessory work is a sure fire way to mediocre results. Learn to strain.

➡️ Have some grit. Aches and pains happen. If you fold at the first sign of discomfort, you won’t last in this sport. Train smart, work through minor aches, and work around injuries.

➡️ Own your program: Stop shifting the blame to your coach when you aren’t putting in the work. Accountability starts with the lifter.
