Strength & Conditioning / Athletic Development for Middle School & Youth Athletes
Every week I get questions from Coaches and Parents asking for guidance on training their son, daughter, nephew, etc who is in middle school. Often times, these kids are in 6th grade and around age 11. If you're training kids before middle school, I believe the best guy to learn from is Jeremy Frisch. We did a podcast together HERE so make sure you listen and see some of his Videos below. … [Read more...]
287: Wrestling Strength & Conditioning Master Class
STRONG Life Podcast ep 287: Wrestling Strength & Conditioning Master Class Brought to you by SORINEX. Every year I hear stories from the wrestlers I train during the first 2 weeks of the season. The stories usually sound like this: "We haven't done any wrestling yet, we've just been running through halls and running stairs because the coaches want us to get in shape." And so, every year when I post my feelings about this, people get overly sensitive and refuse to see the forest from … [Read more...]
PSA: Time to Build TOUGHER Athletes Again
I was training with my old buddy and training partner last week and we started ranting about how much things have changed.

The world is changing and if you can't see it then you're lining yourself up to be in trouble. Watch this Video as I share what needs to happen in this world..... … [Read more...]
Special Strength Training for Wrestlers
Many THINK they know what wrestlers need when it comes to "strength & conditioning" but I assure you, it is more than strength and more than conditioning. I still see training that is actually too "perfect" for wrestlers. I still see training that is too boring and common for wrestlers. Wrestlers are often "crazy" and eccentric, especially at the higher levels. So, as they get more advanced in wrestling, the training must challenge them mentally and physically. I've been around … [Read more...]
Strength Coach & Strength Training Lessons Learned Since 1989
It was June of 1989 when I began lifting weights in my brother's room. For a year, perhaps even 2 years, I was already intrigued with getting strong and building my body. I would read the bodybuilding books and magazines my brother had before I even began training. Unfortunately, those books were bodybuilding based. There were NO performance based training books available at the book stores. Unless I completely ignored them and only read what captured my attention. When I began coaching at a … [Read more...]
264 |QnA: Mental Toughness & Grit Development in Youth Athletes
STRONG Life ep. 264 is a QnA that came in to my IG message from a concerned Uncle. In a nut shell, "How do I get my nephew tough? His father allows him to miss sports practice when ever he wants to, which is quite often. He is 12 years old and has just joined wrestling but his father lets him skip practice whenever he wants. He constantly talks about how everything hurts and has excuses. His personality is that of a wimpy kid. Is it bad to push a kid to do something? If he doesn't want to do … [Read more...]
