Installed the “GOAT Drill” today with 9th and JV 🏈. Talked it (gave why) Walked it Jogged it Ran it Added neural complexity Ball circle Ball circle+math problem Day ONE was great!! Just going to get better! @pntrack @Caldietz @CoachFortney @coachbdixon

Our 3rd block is JV/9th grade football class. @_Maruca49 has been killing it with this group since the summer! Today’s “game day” lift (no different than any day lift for these guys) we introduced VBT by setting a velocity floor for their programmed four sets of one. If guys hit over .35 m/s on all four sets? They earned a PUSH set! I did miss a few guys. I apologize! Overall awesome day for this crowd!! @StJamesFB @scagle12

Let’s go!!

Lots of great stuff today with @STJSHARKSBSBALL Dudes moving the bar on a game day. PIVot at work! You can see @hunterpedrick99 see his first rep was below 1.00 peak…refocus and nail last two reps at 1.00 on the dot. Noah Shore on left. Hit 335 for 3 over .45 or so…added chains and let him really get it!

New facility has room inside and outside to run! Hitting some 5 into 10 flys as part of our Gear 2 @SHREDmillSpeed performance circuit…

New spot

Top speed with a 0.5 second carry and peak speed reached at any moment in time…week 6 of the regular season. Keep sprinting!! @StJamesFB Healthy and Fast 🏈

Appreciate the shout out @Tony_Villani_

#BigNate my DUDE!! Monday conversation… “Coach I’m not feelin that 525 for 2 squat today” Me: “No problem man, drop the weight and just move it fast” “Ok I’m gonna just do 500” Me…deal. @StJamesFB

What a day for @STJSHARKSBSBALL performance class…🔥🔥🔥

This is amazing!! Cody is a dude. Unreal to see him getting national attention. Proud to be his S&C coach at @StJamesFB Dude is an absolute horse. Wrestler, baseball player too!! That’s my dude!!

Plan was keep it small. Like 10 athletes and have them train 2x a week. Things have spun a little out of control 😂😂 🥍🏀🏈🥎⚾️ in the house today. @_Maruca49

Female athlete Class. @St_James_Sharks Box Squat 4x4 floor 0.5 m/s mean 1.00 m/s peak @enodesports Girls have begun to figure out VBT and what it can show you…instantly the are stronger 😂🤷‍♂️ Last week for 5 reps. This week added some weight and gave them 4 reps. Brooklyn Curta +30 pounds Kinleigh Marsh +30 pounds Krysten Small +25 pounds Stella Jolliff +25 pounds Livia Riedy +25 pounds Breanna Singles +20 pounds Jasmine Alston +20 pounds Almost all 30+ ended up increasing with PUSH sets on last two sets. Best part? Most got nowhere near the 0.5 floor. They are still wrapping their minds around how STRONG they can be!! This week? They will hit the weight they nailed last week for 5 instead of 4. PUSH sets last two of the mean velocity guides it that way!! So proud of these girls!! @_Maruca49

There are a lot of folks who will look at this back squat leaderboard and not be super impressed. That second number is what these guys did for two at above .35 m/s mean/1.00 m/s peak. Big Nate hit his last set of 520 at .35/.68. He is 20 pounds off the school record. I refused to let them do back squats for the first four months because most were about 1/4 squat or so. That’s no joke either. So proud of this group for trusting and working!! Building a culture of training! We challenge them everyday to see a new standard. Refuse to accept “one of the worst programs in state history” as THEIR future. That’s a story that has already been written. Time to start writing a new one 💪💪⚡️⚡️⚡️@StJamesFB @scagle12 #BeTheExample #StepOneOfMany

One of my main takeaways from GPS data early on was how the buckets of MaxV and high speed deceleration often go unfilled. The idea that we don’t hit top speeds much in game…100% true. But you want to have it ready to go when the need arises because it’s almost always a big play or in a big spot. Easy to fill that bucket. As you can see the deceleration on Friday nights are next level. Much harder to fill even when you purposefully set up situations in practice that demand it. Three of the leaders on Tuesday play WR. Look at Friday? RB DB LB WR SS… This deficit has gone on a few weeks. So now we have talk as a staff to make sure we get those numbers up closer to game demand. Blessed to have the trust and cooperation of the @StJamesFB staff who will make this happen. Why? Because healthy and fast is great but HEALTHY is the #1 goal. @PlayerData

Two full weeks of really training with @STJSHARKSBSBALL using @DashrMPS and EnodePro system.

Man what a breath of fresh air from our superintendent! Instead of blaming Charter, Private and Home Schools for the issue of lower student enrollment in Public schools…he embraced the challenge of the free market. Find a way to compete and get better! We want the kids to stay? Let’s make the situation work for them and COMPETE for their trust and business. Love it!! I was blessed to meet Superintendent Jones at a school event I attended with my wife…he gets it! #HCS

MaxV Wednesday! We have kept our guys healthy, fresh and fast so far this season!! ✅another week with a good amount of guys hitting significant PR in sprint speeds. This after having to do our heavy triples on back squat yesterday instead of the normal Monday lift. Low volume heavy squats chasing peak intent velocity✅ Altitude drops ✅ Loaded DB jumps 50-60% of max (measured)✅ Barbell jumps 2x3 at 2.5 m/s+ peak ✅ 2 MaxV sprints per week (not 2 days. 2 sprints)✅ 0 post practice “conditioning”✅ Track the data and fill the buckets that need filled✅ @StJamesFB has been fun so far this year! Helping @scagle12 and his staff build something special for these kids and community from a program that ranks in the bottom 5 for wins over last 20+ years in the state? Priceless!! Just the beginning!! #SprintBasedFootball

Female Athlete Class Broad Jump from last week! (Two week improvement) Shekinah Mention 8’0 (+4) Abby Miller 7’2 (0) @CallieCentracc1 6’10 (+5) Jasmine Alston 6’9 (+6) @SophiaRoloson 6’5 (+5) Abby Allred 6’4 (+2) Serenity McNeill 6’2 (+2) Let’s keep working!! @St_James_Sharks @_Maruca49

Proud of this group! Playing a top 10 5A team that was up 48-0 at half last year hard. No moral victories allowed but if we don’t recognize how far this program has come under @scagle12 you are just not looking. Playing teams the caliber as Berkeley and competing hard to the end is going to pay off for @StJamesFB Coach challenged this Senior class that they can be an example or a cautionary tale to the teams that follow. Rome and these Seniors are setting an example!!
