INTENTION changes everything! Two athletes. Same starting point. Same exact program. But one keeps improving… and the other stays stuck. Why? Athlete A is just going through the motions. Showing up because they have to. Checking the box. Athlete B shows UP. Every rep has purpose. Every drill has... focus. Every session has effort behind it. That’s the difference between average and elite. If you want to become an elite athlete, don’t just be present; be intentional. Work hard. Compete. Show up with purpose. This post put together by performwithpete needs to be seen by as many athletes and coaches as possible! Amazing visual and an important lesson on how to maximize every training session. Over a thousand training sessions INTENT becomes the difference between success and knowing you could have been more!show more

Good reminder. Sometimes it's easy to just go through the motions.

There is more to a program than sets and reps. They are not doing the same program.

B! Intention and work ethic keep an athlete autonomous of their development. The intrinsic drive is everything.

Biggest difference between HS and College athletes. You don’t get to the next level by going through the motions.

This hits hard because it’s true 🔥 Same program, different intent — and that’s where progress is won or lost. Purpose in every rep is what separates good from elite.

Athlete B is doing every movement with intention and focus on engaging the necessary muscle groups.

First of all, you need to assess each athlete before a comparison. Athlete A has has a lower leg injury years back. Limiting rotational responses and buoyancy abilities.

Did you just make this up.

Turner NextGen AI7 months ago

No why? I created my AI system because I’m a movement specialist.

Because this is the same human on both sides haha

No it’s two different athletes

I’ve been a 1-2-1 coach for over 20 years. I’ve worked with some of the best players in world football. I’ve coached at Chelsea and Spurs, and consulted for Premier League academies including Arsenal and Brighton. And in all that time, I see the same mistake made by 1-2-1 coaches at every level. They don’t link their practices to the game. Every drill, every rep, every session needs to be connected to real game actions — and for older players, position-specific actions. That’s how you get game transference. That’s how what happens in training shows up on match day. Not more drills. Not more volume. The right practices, linked to the right game moments, coached with clarity and purpose. That’s the difference between a session that looks good and a session that actually develops players. Are you making this mistake? 👇 Comment FIX below and I’ll send you exactly how to build game-specific actions into every 1-2-1 session you coach. 🎓

I don’t think parents understand the magnitude of HOW IMPORTANT it is to have your DL/OL athlete training at THE•FRONT and BIG DAVES BLUEPRINT handling your athletes Marketing and Branding. Just these names alone, EPI SITANILEI, TOMUHINI TOMTOM TOPUI, SEMI TAULANGA, DUTCH HORISK and MATAYO UIAGALELEI, should explain why every DL/OL athlete who’s serious about DEVELOPMENT, need to sign up‼️ Don’t let me get started with the amount of NIL COLLECTIVE DEALS these FRONT ATHLETES have received. All I’m going to say, it’s LIFE CHANGING 🙏🏽 All because these young men decided to be serious in their craft and trusted me and my brother in DEVELOPING them and handling their Marketing and building their brand. FYI,…EVERY ATHLETE NAMED IN THIS POST, STARTED WITH THE•FRONT & BDB SINCE 6th - 7th Garde. So I encourage ALL YOUTH athletes to sign up NOW, as you can see the results yourself when starting early rather than later!! It makes a huge difference when starting early as you can see yourself 👀👀👀#FamilyIsEverything #GodsPlan #TheFRONT #BIGDAVEsBLUEPRINT

Put a footballer in an activity with moderate to low emotional stress and they will execute actions with positive intent (approach behaviour) Now put them on the pitch in a game perceived to be important…behavioural inhibition can kick in This is one reason why session design and coach behaviour are prime mediators of player mental skills And it’s why coaches need a psychological framework as a template to help player and team mindset Attention Intensity Intent “In the most important games, our players compete in their High Performance Mindset…with attention, intensity, intent. I know this because every player has their own unique mental framework and our team is committed to High Performance Mindset as a collective… …I know this because we’ve trained High Performance Mindset in every activity in every session every day…through our designs and through our instructions” Every activity Every session Every day

imagine getting an amazing job offer but having to work with someone you couldn’t stand bc in your mind you two were total enemies… then 8 years later that same person is literally your safe place. they’re the one who’s been by your side through everything, the one you lean on, and also the one you worry about the most. and because they have a heart condition, every prayer and every blessing you make is just wishing for them to stay healthy and be okay. bc deep down… you love them so damn much and you just want them to stay by your side forever, don’t you? 🥹

James Talarico is running around Texas pitching the warm, fuzzy idea that every religion is just a different "pathway" to the exact same fundamental truth. They're NOT. We can still be courteous to each other, but that's not the same as having the same truth. When anyone tries to sell you this version of "unity," they are asking you to throw out the God that has a name, the God who deals with you as an individual, and replace Him with a meaningless average. Because the average of everything is NOTHING. You are going to hear this exact narrative pushed in your own community, your own church, and your own life. THIS is how to stand against it.

WOW. Marcelo Bielsa is 70 years of age, and his parting message to Uruguay carries a lesson every coach should sit with. No group is the same. No individual is the same. Nobody. Bielsa admits he has never tried to be the “friendly” coach. He values order, discipline, seriousness, obsession. That has made him one of the most respected minds in football. But even Bielsa seems to accept something powerful here: That approach does not work for every player. It does not work in every environment. And knowledge alone is never enough. As a coach, you have to find a way to connect. Quote us on this: “You can have all the knowledge in the world, but it is absolutely useless if the people playing don’t like you. Player management and people management might not be on coaching courses, but don’t be kidded by associations. It is the most important quality a coach can have.” Football is about tactics, detail, preparation and standards. But above all, it is about people. So many coaches out there fail to grasp this, they think they can shout their way to development or success, and this day and age you simply can't.

If your 16 YO athlete isn’t willing to wake up 15-min earlier to make their own breakfast they really don’t care about getting stronger or improving as an athlete. You can’t earn that D1 scholarship with an attitude consistent with Intramural sports. Seriously, if you have a student athlete under your roof who has a phone, spends > 4 hours/day social media, goes to specialized training, plays multiple sports that you spend thousands of dollars on annually they should absolutely be able to prioritize their nutrition and sleep. Don’t be your kid’s friend, be their parent. Encourage them to pack snacks, build a routine that is centered around supporting the life they want to live. Kids need routine, structure, discipline, and guidance. They will be glad they had a parent who encouraged them to eat well and recover smart. There’s a lot of hard working athletes out there hungry to get better and will easily outperform those who have poor habits. Poor habits like staying up late, on phones for hours a day, skipping meals, drinking energy drinks, eating candy and chips as meals, and flat out showing up to training under-fueled giving 50% effort. If you want your kid to be strong and successful, ask them to put down the phone. Help them plan out their meals and snacks for games and training, get to bed early and pack their water bottle. These are simple and basic things for GOOD health. If you really want to be great you need to do the basics. If you can’t do the basics you really don’t care about being great. No one accidentally shows up to the championship game or succeeds in life by accident. Discipline, structure, and life skills need to be taught early on in life! Too many kids lack the means to succeed. It’s 2025 and it’s time to get these student athletes dialed! 📞

There's a new reality settling in youth athletic world ... Early specialization Combined with: Early intensification You got parents pushing their preadolescents' kids into playing and practicing one sport all year round and then, thinking they're getting a leg up, getting them involved in "performance" training at the same time. The problem is the performance training isn't run, hop skip and jump that kids really need, rather it's resembles the training program of a college athlete. We all know what happens with early specialization, but early intensification isn't as prevalent yet. But imagine an athlete never reaching their peak because they skipped right over all the basic training methods and went right into the advanced stuff too soon. What you get is stud youth athlete who fizzles out in so many ways down the road. Kids need need fun. They need movement, they need variety and diversity, and they need to be engaged. They need to run, jump, hop, skip, climb , crawl, and wrestle. Get that right, and you set the kids up for future success whether they're elite or recreational athlete. #LTAD

Different sports. Same anotomy. Different demands. Same human body. Messi has a hamstring muscle just like LeBron James and Travis Kelce. The sport doesn’t change anatomy or physiology - it changes the demands placed on the athlete. Watching elite soccer players train during the FIFA tournament reminds me of the work we do with college and professional football, baseball, and basketball athletes. The games are different - especially when it comes to the energy systems and cardiovascular demands - but many of the fundamental movement patterns are remarkably similar. Great training doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to transfer. Push. Pull. Squat. Hinge. Throw. Jump. Sprint. Safe. Simple. Efficient. Effective. Regardless of sport, when we build the right qualities in training, they show up on game day.

People think Mike not wanting to take 3s was because, “hE SuCkEd at ShoOtInG tHeM” 3 point shooting is NOT hard that is why the ENTIRE league shoots them now at a decent clip. If you care and practice enough, you can be good at them. I can literally go into a gym right now without any warm up and hit 20/25 3s. I hoop once a week. Now imagine the greatest competitor the game has ever seen focus on training his 3?! I am GLAD Mike didn’t focus on his 3s and he was elite in EVERY other aspect of his game. He dazzled fans and did things we have not seen even today! Settling on 3s has made the GREATEST athletes in the game (example Ant man) become 3 point chuckers. Why would anyone pay their hard earned money to watch a shot that everyone at your local YMCA can take and make?! We want to see them jump out of the gym and create over the giants in the paint. We want to see things that will shock us. The athletes today are more than capable of it, but the 3 takes them away from those type of plays and forces them to become spot up shooters. The 3 point obsession has RUINED the game, every game looks the same and it is NOT entertaining! 👊🏼

AJ Brown says the biggest lesson he’s learned from winning and losing a Super Bowl is to stop obsessing over getting back to one because you can’t control that outcome anyway, so the only useful response is to be present, max out your effort, get better daily and let the chips fall where they may “I have empathy for the guys because I understand how it feels. It’s not a good feeling. But ultimately it just comes down to your daily process each and every day.” “Not looking so far ahead. One game at a time. Be present each and every day and just go to work. Because you can’t control the outcome anyway.” “You can control your effort. And leave it at that. Let the chips fall where they may. Our job is to show up each and every day and just try to get better.”

Everything we want from an athlete after a tough loss. Stand up there, answer the questions, show that it sucks. Don’t have to be in a good mood—the angst shows you care, and that’s part of the show that is professional sports. Awesome from a 22 year old.

Tom Brady on the most common trait elite performers share: They want to be held accountable. The best understand that preparation must carry urgency. You may only have three practices before the game, and every one of them has to move you closer to being ready. There are no wasted reps. No casual days. No assuming you can fix it tomorrow. The margin is too small. Whether it’s the NFL, college sports, or business, someone else is preparing with purpose. Every rep has to carry weight because every rep becomes part of your performance and/or pushes reps further down the line. Great leaders establish that standard where the floor of the team is an urgent one.
