One of the easiest tells that a thrower is stacking and tracking properly? Look at the jersey. If it moves forward, they’re making one of the most important movements in the throw: turning rotational energy into linear energy. 💯

Getting faster isn’t about finding one “best” exercise. It’s about using the right training method, at the right time, for the right adaptation.

Different requires discipline.
Different requires sacrifice.
Different requires effort.
Being everybody requires nothing. Being different requires everything.

Sean McVay said, “Winning is a habit; let’s make it ours.”
I love that.
Winning isn’t just game day. It’s how you prepare, respond, compete, and show up every day.
So what habits make winning possible?
Here are the 6 Habits of Winners.
1. Keep Stacking Days
Winners show up every day. It’s not about going all out once in a while but consistency. Small, daily actions compound over time. Whether in the gym, the classroom, or your mindset, showing up EVERY DAY beats sporadic intensity.
2. Focus on the Process, Not Just the Results
Winners don’t obsess over outcomes; they focus on the steps that get them there. The journey is where growth happens. By locking in on the process, they make success inevitable by constantly improving what they can control.
3. Embrace the Struggle
Winners don’t shy away from challenges or discomfort. They know that growth happens in the tough moments. When others quit or back down, winners lean in. They understand that pain and struggle are part of the path to greatness.
4. Adapt and Adjust
Winners are flexible. They don’t stick to a rigid plan when things change - they adapt. Whether it’s a new strategy, an unexpected challenge, or setbacks, winners adjust and keep moving forward.
5. Stay Humble and Hungry
No matter how much success they’ve had, winners never think they’ve “arrived.” They remain humble, knowing there’s always room to improve. And they stay hungry, constantly pushing themselves to improve, no matter how much they’ve already achieved.
6. Mental Toughness
Winners build mental resilience. They don’t let failures define them or allow external pressures to control their mindset. They train their minds as much as their bodies, learning to stay focused, calm, and confident in any situation.

Plyometrics can be used to prime/potentiate the body for the sprinting that follows. This is one way I structure them in my own programming.

Sprinting does more than improve sprint mechanics… it can change the muscle.
Multiple studies comparing sprint training with Nordics have shown increases in biceps femoris fascicle length, with sprinting also improving sprint performance.
Longer fascicles are useful

Many want the success but few understand the sacrifice.
Success doesn't just ask what you're willing to do.
It asks what you're willing to give up.
You can't chase extraordinary results while protecting an ordinary level of commitment.

Nick Saban's Five Enemies of Greatness is always worth a read. He didn't write these, but they're a solid short list of his coaching philosophy throughout the years...
Ingest them for your team, and ingest them for yourself.
The 5 Enemies..keep them away from you.

We waste a lot of energy on things we can’t control.
The past.
The result.
The future.
What other people think.
The better question is:
What can I control today?
My attitude.
My effort.
My response.
My preparation.
How I treat people.
That’s where your energy belongs.

The toughest opponent an athlete faces is the voice that says, “You’ve done enough.”
It gets loud when you’re tired. Louder when you’re struggling. Loudest when nobody would blame you for backing off.
Internal toughness is hearing it and doing the work anyway.
That’s G.R.I.T.
