I Question What Athletes are Doing
I will simply be up front about this because I am very disappointed in what I see lately. Athletic Coaches are training their athletes in the weight room and the results are poor at best most of the time (notice I did not say “all the time”). Our new athletes must go through a baseline […]

Life has a top 1% – You are Probably NOT in it!
Went to a wrestling club today and took them through some training. Spoke to them about winning and preparation at the end and they all said they wanted to win more than anything else. Yet they all do the same thing: go to a wrestling club, and wrestle. No dedicated off season / in season […]
Where’s the support?
Funny how parents are actually putting their children at risk by not doing everything they can to improve their performance. I ask parents this question to get them to dig deep: “Have you done everything you possibly could to help your child be prepared as best as possible for his / her sport?” If the […]

Do You Want to be a GREAT Athlete Or “Just happy to be Part of the Team”
It’s Superbowl Sunday. A day of watching a BIG game and eating a lot of junk food…. or NOT! Well, first off, on holidays or days of celebration, I think it’s VERY IMPT to train that morning. Earn the right to have some bad food vs being a full time couch potato for the day. […]

At The Manasquan Underground Strength Gym, the parks and rec department gave us ahard time for playing Ultimate Football on a random basis at a desolate park. In 8 years, I have NEVER seen kids playing […]
Find a Way to WIN vs Finding Excuses
I always have this echoing voice in my mind from a Navy SEAL program where the instructor told the boat crew who kept losing, “Just find an Excuse to WIN!” Normally, we find an excuse to quit. Excuses are everywhere, how about we find a bigger WHY, dig deeper and find a REASON to fight […]
