Empathy is the essential skill of transformational coaching. We cannot build secure relationships where students feel seen, safe, n secure if we can’t imagine what it’s like to walk in their shoes. Develop. Model. Teach.

If you want to get stronger you are going to have to lift heavy…

Muscular tension is what we are chasing for strength adaptations.

In order to maximize the tension experienced by the fibers, we must strain. Lift heavy, strain often.

New weightroom is open!! Absolutely unbelievable space. Thanks so much for the heroic efforts by Augie Fontanetta, Andy Butler, the facilities committee, all the groups on campus, admin, parents, the kids… EVERYONE who had a hand in bringing this space to life. New Trier Athletics

My tribute to ⁦Kevin Vest⁩: “He was a champ.' Former Silver Streaks baseball player, longtime coach and AD passes away after cancer battle wgil.com/2023/08/10/he-…

Strength Coaches: Be you, do what you can teach safely, do what works for you and your athletes, and keep learning. Do not worry about the constant noise, sarcasm, and bashing of old or new ways on twitter. Be you!!

Love the shirt our QB wore to reporting day. #flexbone , #Harding_FB

In my 32 years in D3,
In The (D3FB) Huddle
and
Frank Rossi
the best advocates anywhere for D3!

If you think you're TOO OLD to lift…

You’re wrong!

Lifting is something that can benefit your life at ANY AGE!

“Everyone does the basics so you have to do something different to be better.”

Here’s something different: doing the basics really, really well.

get to know and care about the people you are leading, and small acts of kindness/thoughtfulness have big impacts, and everyone deserves a second chance. You do these things, you have a chance to win or be successful in anything. Not guaranteed, but a chance. Great show!

Skeptical when I started watching, but the message of leadership in coaching and really in life from Ted Lasso is powerful. Be a good person first, we are all flawed and vulnerable and it is ok to let people see that,

Too many people underestimate the commitment level of D3 athletics.

These are recruited athletes, not walk-ons.

A high academic D3 asst. coach told us this:

<2% of student-athletes who've played for their program have come to school without a guaranteed roster spot.

If you can't explain it, then it probably doesn't need to be in your program. Athletes have great radar for BS, use their limited time well!

Coaching is not about what you know, it’s about what you can teach.

Excited to have a Knox College Football player in the building today checking out all things NFL.

Best of luck this season Keegen Hodges 💪
