Attended a Sectional tonight where announcers yelled at athletes to get off the field at least 50 times. No exaggeration. Track meets can be joyful, exciting events.. or they can be angry rule-driven adult-centered “get off my lawn” events. The PN Sectional was done right.

More cool X-Factor work by my new friend Brian McGinty. Demos by Shyvonne Roxborough (elite sprinter). #CNS ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Lactate work feels different in the snow.

Love my new e-Starter from ⁦SimpliFaster⁩ Turn sound ⬆️

My second Brad Fortney for “Coach of the Year” tweet. I observed a 90 minute workout 1st block yesterday. The 🏈 team at Enterprise (AL) works out during school day, freshmen 4th block. Really liked head coach Ben Blackman. Don’t miss this 🧵🪡🧵

Love this take by Clinton Portis!

Always amazed me how well we executed the 23-Second Drill as our first lactate workout of the year. No aerobic-focused workouts, no laps, low-volume. All speed and power. Sprint-Lift-Jump-Bounce-Throw Get fit by stacking performance-level anaerobic work on a foundation of rest, recovery, and sleep.

Always looking for a new stimulus. First time we’ve ever done wickets on a curve, clockwise and counterclockwise.

Here’s a clip from my AFCA GPS/ sprint-based football roundtable sponsored by Hudl and TITAN Sports. To my left @CoachWalkerRF (D3 National Champs), to my right Garrett Mueller. The disciplined pursuit of less. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 🚫 The undisciplined pursuit of more.

ATOMIC X-FACTOR WORKOUT Turn sound up. 45 min, only 6 min of work. No equipment needed. Can be done anywhere. Thanks Keith Cyracus

I spent 11 hours yesterday shadowing Brad Fortney in Enterprise, AL. Brad is basically the Feed the Cats (Wildcats) director K-12. I was so impressed with what Brad’s done, I sent 3 videos to Andy Derks. Today I send it to the coaching world. 🧵🪡🧵

X-Factor from Chris Chamberlin and David Weck Love the rotational stuff and the high quality. Turn up sound to hear propulsers. When you stack these alactic anaerobic exercises, you build capacity. Thanks Troy Holler for putting this together.
