We’re competing against some of the best sales and marketing campaigns promoting quick fixes and simple solutions… to a very complex and individualized problems.
🤷🏻♂️Who would choose a simple training program geared around individualized goals and the demands of the physical activity when there’s 3 special corrective exercises that can solve all your problems instead?
😓How do you educate, build relationships, and earn the trust you need with your clients (long enough) to teach them and show them how to make progress and lasting changes to their health?
🫱🏻🫲🏼It starts with us, it starts with you, and it starts with always focusing on “providing health” for the person in front of you. - @coach_q_physio
✅As healthcare providers and coaches we have to pivot from the status quo of a “fix it” approach and shift towards co-creating plans that focus on building the physiological adaptations required for improving metabolic health & sustainable function.

It’s a work in progress for me.
Putting together the pieces of information to a coherent framework might be the most valuable skill in an era full of information everywhere you look.
Developing speed and power goes way beyond putting together a single session but it’s a start.
General warmup (can include little detailed individualized movements)
Plyos to prep
Max effort accel/decel or top speed
Lift and/or conditioning
I list it in that order because my personal focus is speed because it’s something that needs constant stimulus for me personally.
Honestly this doesn’t change much when rehabbing an injury just have to navigate symptom tolerance and tissue failure risks.
Hopefully these thought processes are helpful. 🤷♂️

@nfl Off-season in full swing.
No stone is unturned. Full team working together to help these freak athletes stay as prepared as humanly possible.
Four pillars dialed in and all take care of under one roof so nothing is siloed.
✔️ Health
✔️ Skills
✔️ Speed
✔️ Strength & Power
Phase 1: Restore tissue health
Phase 2: Absolute Strength
Phase 3: Rate of force
It’s been go time. 🧱 x 🧱

What do you think athleticism is?.. 🧐
Athleticism is one of my favorite topics. It’s not greatly defined because the variables are so incredibly complex that it’s so insanely hard to measure.
A lot of people fall back to the measurables like how fast one runs, how much weight someone can lift or how high someone jumps.
Yet these all fall short. If that were the case the strongest or fastest team would always win. They don’t.
This doesn’t take into consideration the things that are much harder to measure like understanding of the game, reading body language, identifying formations or trends; all the things that drive anticipation. The stuff that makes it seem like a player is looking into the future for the answers.
You can’t measure hand eye coordination, body control or fluidity as well as those other physical traits. But this could be the difference of making the sideline catch in bounds when the game is on the line or not.
To me athleticism the combination of physical qualities with the ability to self organize and best problem solve for the given task. Good luck measuring that one. 😬
These are the things that I think about when it comes to sport because of how amazing the human body really is. It’s fascinating what the human body is capable of when given enough stimulus to problem solve and enough challenge to adapt.
Wha do you think athleticism is?….

Over one hour in less than 30 seconds.
Not filmed was prep and dynamic warmup.
Big misconception about speed is that it’s not trainable. Second biggest misconception is that you can’t get faster as you get older.
I can speak from experience - this is a lie. Don’t believe it.
If you want to be an athlete speed is very important.
Need to show a lifting session - who agree’s? 🧐

Most athletes think playing their sport is enough to stay fast. It’s not.
Team sports are built on volume—submax efforts, partial accelerations, constant movement. But speed? Real speed? That only lives at max intent.
And here’s the problem—speed qualities decay fast. If you don’t train them, they go away.
In-season training isn’t extra. It’s protection.
It’s your weekly “dose” of high-speed exposure that keeps your nervous system sharp, your tissues prepared, and your performance from quietly slipping.
Think of it like a vaccine—small, consistent doses that reduce your risk of breakdown and keep you performing at a high level.
If you want to stay fast… you have to keep practicing being fast.

Most people think an ankle sprain = rest, boot, ice, wait.
Too often do we see a 2-week problem turn into a 2-month one.
Rehab starts immediately.
Control swelling (compression > elevation > frequent movement), restore range, and keep the ankle moving early.
Then rebuild loading, maintaining a stimulus both to the muscles directly surrounding the ankle as well as the muscles on the entire leg without developing major compensation.
Stay in shape while you heal (bike, circuits), and layer in jumping, sprinting, and change of direction as soon as your ankle tolerates it.
As soon as possible jump training, sprinting, and cutting or change of direction should be scaled into the program and swelling should be monitored. During this time the athlete typically can return to play to some level, even if it is modified or limited to start. Monitoring swelling of crucial in this phase to make sure that there is no negative response.
You don’t “rest & wait” to return—
you earn your way back with smart progressions and monitored swelling.
You cannot rush physiology… but you can absolutely speed it up.
If you want to come back fast and avoid re-injury, this isn’t optional—it’s the process.

Well I’m glad you asked…
So many health and performance benefits of strength training.
If you want to be athletic then you gotta strength train. If you want to live for a long time you should probably strength train. Basically everyone should strength train.

Prevention doesn’t mean avoiding sprints. It means preparing the athletes to handle those sprints.
Hamstring injury risk sky rockets after the athlete experiences a rapid increase in high speed running (Duhig et al 2016). The good news is this is mitigated with things like exposure and aerobic fitness (Malone & Gabbett 2018).
From my understanding this is the largest risk factor we currently are aware of and is very modifiable through progressive increases in exposures to high speed running. This is the “vaccine” effect. Regular exposures of high speed vaccinate athletes’ hamstrings to the crazy high forces of sprinting.
So what do we do? Here’s what I think we can do to help decrease the risk of hamstring injuries:
📈Monitor week to week spikes in exposures.
🏃Progressively build volume of high speed running.
⚡️Include max effort sprints - not just sub max running (often seen in practice/games).
