Program Design
I continue these conversations with our head sport
coaches today, as well as the parents and my studentathletes.
I want them to always understand the why
behind my programming.
We base our training around our five core values.
Those values are:
1. Protect - Every movement in the weight room is
designed to protect the student from being injured
in sports, the weight room, and in everyday life
2. Move Well - Students will be able to perform
fundamental movement patterns with adequate
mobility and stability that will lead to a healthy,
well-rounded lifestyle.
3. Move Strong - Students will perform multijoint
weight training exercises to develop a
foundational strength base needed for optimal
performance in all areas of life. Movements will
progress and regress according to a variety of
factors including age, movement competency, and
trust level.
4. Move Fast - Our linear speed, reactive agility,
and deceleration training will enable the student
to move fast in competition.
5. Thrive - Students will develop skills that will
translate to improved sport performance, a
lifetime of wellness, and the ability to overcome
obstacles and maximize their potential in all areas
of life.
At the middle and high school levels, a strength and
conditioning coach has many challenges. One of those
is to break their athletic development program into
different blocks or levels. There is a huge difference
between training a 13- or 14-year-old freshman versus
an 18- or 19-year-old senior. There are several factors
to consider when determining how to differentiate your
program to meet each student-athlete where they are.
These include birth-year age, developmental age, and
training age.
We also have our student-athletes fill out
questionnaires about themselves. This allows me to get
to know them on a more personal level. Those questions
can range from anything but some of my favorite
ones are:
1. Who do you look up to and why?
2. What is one thing most people don't know
about you?
3. What are the 3 most important things in your life?
4. How do you like to be coached?
HAVE AN OPEN DOOR POLICY FOR COACHES,
PARENTS & COMMUNITY
My goal as the strength coach is to put the head
coach's athletes in a position to be the strongest,
fastest, most explosive, and most durable athletes for
their sport. Therefore, I plan to be the head coach's
biggest competitive advantage. Additionally, I know
that I am not controlling the athletes playing time or
who makes varsity and who does not, the head coach
is ultimately deciding that. So I want the head coach to
also have a presence in the weight room during their
