According to Clemson FB teams sleep data per player. An increase of 30-55 minutes of sleep per day will increase 40 yard dash speed and big play potential! VITAL INFO FOR ALL SPORTS NOT JUST FB! Train + Eat + Sleep + Consistency = SUCCESS! RECOVER is as IMPORTANT as U WORK.

The calm before the storm!Also if you walk in YOUR weightroom&it’s not setup or put away by the standards,then that’s a you problem that speaks louder then just leaving a plate out.Players, coaches, anyone: attention to detail in all aspects of EVERYTHING. #PennPride #ProudCoach

After 600 athletes and 600 different ones tomorrow the @culvers Veteran and @culvers Rookie weightroom looks like this. Any person/athlete/or coach that doesn’t take pride in the little things speaks louder than just leaving plates out. #PennPride

3 YEARS APART. OVER 1200 kids per week, practically year round. Teach them to take pride in THEIR facilities and it will last! It takes a culture! Cleanup is the same after every session. No change in expectations.

Record. Rank. Publish. @pntrack @SHREDmillSpeed We were able to get through 34 athletes 2-3 reps each of gear 2 in less then 30 minutes yesterday with the ShredMills. This is outstanding! Every sprint workout we do , Tuesday/Thursday for ALL our athletes and coaches that take advantage or our sprint athletes is recorded and ranked. Just like the weightroom. Everyday is a competition to seek stimulus of improvement and success. This is our philosophy. Compete at being on time. Compete at getting faster. Compete on being a better leader. Compete at being a better teammate. Compete at showing up. Check those boxes consistently and you will build toughness and resiliency. Not doing a 15 minute wall sit. BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR ACTIONS TO COMPETE TO BE BETTER!

Thanks to @CoachVanderbush Indiana has become a standard for lifting classes during the school day.
1. Allows student athletes to focus on practice and skill development.
2. Allows for school wide culture and goals.
3. Serves as a communication for the philosophy of the athletic department.
4. Creates additional opportunities to do before or after school for training such as speed or additional lifts, even yoga.
5. Being at school serves lunch and even breakfast, nutritional needs being met.
6. ALLOWS STUDENT ATHLETES TO BE MULTIPLE SPORT ATHLETES.
7. The list goes on…
In NJ we are still "doing what we have always done."
Very few schools have embraced athletic block and giving athletes time to train in school.
Resistance to change is a great path to mediocrity.
