Some “feeler throws” pre-throw-down.
Accelerate & create good backspin. Consistency + accuracy first.

Everyone fails. Some run and hide from it, and many get frustrated. Few lean in and seek more; The challenge is addicting.
You learn so much about a player when you see how they respond to difficulty. The players who refuse to leave the cage until they overcome will improve the fastest. They earn confidence through built self-reliance. They train themselves to weather the storm.
You can improve your ability to overcome, but there is an essential pre-requisite: stark challenges only to be surpassed by real struggle. We need to stress to force adaptation.
Too often, the practice is non-representative, soft, and unrecognizable of the competitive task. Though the trainer builds the mood of the trainee, he robs him of a more profound opportunity: The chance to develop self-esteem by earning it themselves.
Swinging is a movement. Hitting is HARD. Build hitters.

28 reps on my 28th birthday quickly turned into a repeat “Walk with me in Hell” open squat challenge:
30 rep max.
Rules: None.
2021 Spring training: 265lb x 30
2022 Birthday: 275lb x 30
Be warned 🚧:
In both years, I saw red after finishing. This year I nearly passed out, lying in a cold sweat on the bathroom floor of the gym with a splitting headache. When I made it out despite my heart still racing, I accidentally fell asleep in the lobby for 30 mins.
Seem miserable? Nope. I woke up this morning feeling anxious and worried. As I sit here writing this, I feel excellent.
Sometimes it just needs to be hard.
Exercise is a beautiful addiction. Here’s to another year full of physical challenges

Exiting the comfort zone will not look pretty. Welcome it.
Let them fail; don’t hold their hand. (He dropped 15+ balls during this)
Their triumph, if on their own, will build self-reliance and self-confidence.

You can get a pretty good quad pump / TKE effect from the belt squat by taking a few steps back.
I have chronic knee stiffness, particularly in my left (surgery in high school), so getting it warmed up and feeling good takes a lot. I also get bored of exercises like the TKE quickly, so I’m always happy when I find a new way to do it.
These can be done for reps or for time. You can also march from this position. Today I did 1 min sets.

Bulletproof your legs with belt squat marches
The belt squat is one of the core measuring sticks I use when evaluating a gym.
High GPP output. Torch your glutes (medius in particular). Train muscular endurance, lower body joint/tendon stiffness, and resilience and improve lower body bone density with minimal axial spine loading.
I’ve been working to improve foot and ankle stiffness, so I’m deliberately using a heavy weight and taking short quick steps; Doing these before sprinting has had a significant impact.
3-4 rounds of 30-90 seconds, 2-4x per week. 200lb shown here.
When I do these with younger/novice lifters, I go relatively much lighter and focus on a higher and more steady march to emphasize glute med development.

Teach the player how to think critically and self-evaluate.
Teach them to use feedback markers (feel, sound, visual, measurement, data, etc. ) to experiment in their training.
Give them space and time to fail and self-correct; It may take some time, and that's okay.
Most verbal cues are unnecessary and distracting; “Silence is a sound.” - Tommy Weber

How do you know which footwork to use? 🤷🏻♂️
Set challenge: Throw the ball into the wall as hard & quickly as possible. (Weak throws and wasted movement 👎)
Set constraint: 4-6lb med ball. (Poor loading and ground connection exposed)
Task partner with challenging them. Vary speed, direction, and location of toss. Encourage some failure.
Allow the athlete to self-organize, aka “figure it out.”
Player-led debrief. What worked? What adjustments were necessary? What failed?
Transfer of training.
