Roughly ⅔ of today’s students will end up doing work that hasn’t been invented yet. *what* we teach kids is less important than *how* they learn to teach themselves.

Yo, young strength coaches listen up...I've spent plenty of cash and time in S and C books, programs, certs, you name it. But the best thing that happened to my coaching and my career was my wife. Choose your significant other wisely, you can empower one another if it's right.

Coaches read this tweet👇🏽 Immediate feedback is often not the issue but clear and concrete feedback that leads to change/action/progress.

When feedback is immediate, clear, and concrete, people learn quickly. When feedback is delayed, abstract, and opaque, people rarely learn.
Sports Organisations: The best way to look after your Athletes is to develop your Coaches. The rest is details.

Coaches, how can we plan when the future is so uncertain? Prioritize building blocks over game skills (e.g., competitiveness, team building, game knowledge), plan in small chunks, and maintain a flexible focus that keeps you grounded but is adaptable. #coaching #PLANNING

A GOOD strength coach is the keeper of culture..... A standard bearer. When coaches and strength coaches are truly connected a strong culture can be built .

The sons of Botswana’s first president, Seretse Khama, will be approaching elections from opposite political sides. But Ian Khama, who ditched the Botswana Democratic Party for the Botswana Progressive Front, wants his brother to join him ow.ly/vmI030pAmN8 by @PolokoTau

When your athletes make a mistake, change their thinking from: 'What was I thinking??' to 'What did I learn?'

Agility is about rapid acceleration + deceleration. Which means, it's about force production. Almost ALWAYS applied unilaterally. Speed ladders/footwork drills are fine to warm up and practice applying force, but they're terrible at building it. That's done in the weight room.

Don’t bet on the person who shows occasional flashes of greatness. Bet on the person who delivers day after day. It’s better to be consistently good than intermittently excellent. Results and relationships depend on reliability. #SundayMotivation
