The Strength Coaches Summit is a huge stepping stone for us and the coaching community as a whole. This is a huge opportunity for the strength coaches who are serious about trying to get to the highest level possible.
We want to make the biggest impact possible on every single person who attends. We have put dozens of hours of planning and laying out this event to have the most value possible.
May 22nd is the last day to get your seat, you’re running out of time to wait!
1. General quality of life
You start moving through daily life differently. Picking things up, changing direction, getting off the floor, and even posture begin to feel smoother and more natural. Olympic lifting teaches your body to coordinate force efficiently.
2. Athleticism
Your explosiveness starts showing up everywhere. Sprinting, jumping, reacting, and changing direction feel sharper because the lifts train speed, timing, and power all at once. A lot of people realize they feel more like an athlete even outside the gym just within a few months.
3. Strength transfer to other lifts
Your squat, deadlift, and even pressing strength often improve without directly focusing on them as much. Olympic lifts force you to produce force quickly and stabilize under load, which carries over into almost every major movement pattern. The bar speed and coordination build strength that pretty much universally transfers.
4. Mobility improvement
You slowly gain mobility without sitting through endless stretching routines. Catch positions, overhead stability, and deep squats consistently expose your body to usable ranges of motion under control. Over time your ankles, hips, shoulders, and thoracic spine begin to open up naturally.
5. You actually begin having FUN learning the lifts
At first the lifts feel frustrating and overly technical. Then one day the timing clicks for a rep and the process becomes addictive. Olympic lifting can turn training into a sort of game-like pursuit instead of just moving weight from point A to point B.
Here is the simple truth about exercise selection!
A lot of coaches will have an exercise tree the length of the Mississippi River!

VBT has been such a great addition to our training here on site. Weightlifters, football players, and even our throwers are using it and seeing massive gains in return. Don't limit your application of this tool just based on what you heard about it. Find new uses and experiment!
@taylored2jump tells us the routine he would do in preparation for some of the greatest performances triple jump has ever seen.
The best way to condition and prepare your body for such great explosiveness and power output is consistent olympic lifts.

Take advantage of your body's physiology to get as loose as possible using this method.
Combining static and dynamic stretches with each other is a great way to unlock those muscle groups (like the hips) that just feel locked up. Everybody has tight hips, lets be honest. Save this video!

Starting lifting at a young age is actually one of the best things for the body to grow, its amazing that people still actually believe this! Is there anybody watching this who still thinks kids don't belong in the weight room? Let's hear your side of the story in the comments.
Doing random mobility exercises every day won’t change your body. Even having a routine won’t matter if you’re not doing it consistently.
