I LOVE these type of days I don’t care how much you paid $ your guru to up your squat, bench, or how much weight you put on. If you can’t get comfortable in someone’s personal space or move another human then we usually weed out who’s going to help the Team out on Fridays 🤷🏻‍♂️

Some Coaches get excited over Olympic Lifts, or Various Big Back/Front Squats. For me it’s when a Athlete can perform a true SL Squat. So many boxes are ✅ for Performance. It’s not a movement that will go up on the glorified “Strength Leader Board” but it’s still impressive.

Can you control your body at high speeds. Curve-Linear sprinting a lot of times takes a back seat. Although athletes don’t think about body control in a game. It’s amazing how uncomfortable athletes can be when put to the test in a non-game scenario. Time It & Drive Intent.
