Check out Scott Savor's "SECRETS in SPORTS"

He's basically billed as a "change agent for success." This coach, educator and also sports philosopher is Scott Savor. And, he's someone you should meet or somehow find the time to speak with. With his vast knowledge base, he can help steer you to the path of improving your program. I first saw Scott Savor speak at the University of Florida Strength & Conditioning Clinic and he did a very nice job of getting one to think about how you do things in your program and, more importantly.... Why?

  and nowNow, he's presented a fragment of his material into an amazing 10 page.... 21 paragraph book titled:

SECRETS IN SPORTS
....What you don't know will hurt you

It's packed with thought provoking insights that will challenge your critical thinking skills. In fact, Savor believes that every single sentence in the book is worth Tweeting and texting about! Best of all, he includes in the book the Seven Secrets in Sports! Check out some of his mini-videos above and take this opportunity to meet Scott Savor. you'll be glad you did.  Furthermore, he has a host of other motivational videos available on his YouTube Channel

Michigan State Football "Hills on Mills"

Okay.... here's the disclaimer! I wouldn't suggest adjusting your treadmill to the settings that Coach Mannie and the Michigan State Football Strength Staff have....unless you've been training like a Spartan. It's not fun and games in the Duffy Daughtery Football Building in East Lansing, Michigan. The Staff: Tommy Hoke, Lorenzo Guess, Bill Burghardt..... they're all pushing, driving and motivating the players to reach their full potential. Check out the video and you'll see a few of the athletes performing the "Hills on Mills" routine.
For starters, you'll need a Woodway type treadmill, disengage the gearing mechanism so that the running deck flys freely and then adjust the incline to 25%. After grabbing hold of the handles, begin walking for about ten seconds....then proceed to a jog....and finally the "all out" phase... GO FULL SPEED for at least five seconds and try to crank out 15...16... maybe even getting to 17 MPH. Decelerate and continue on for several reps depending on you or your athletes' conditioning level.

ASAP Strength~Series.EDU at Michigan State Strength Clinic

Michigan State Football is surging ahead following a recent run of eleven win seasons, bowl games, victories over long time Big Ten foes and of course the triple overtime bowl victory over the SEC's Georgia Bulldogs at the 2012 Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida.
It's not an accident! Players are "earning the jersey" up in East Lansing, Michigan. One huge reason is Head Football Coach Mark Dantonio.  One strong reason is due to the direction and leadership of the strength & conditioning program..... and that would be the Head Strength Coach, Ken Mannie.
Check out Ken Mannie in this ASAP exclusive, made-for-TV, high definition 'HD' look into the mindset of the rigorous training program taking place at the Duffy Daugherty Football Building on the campus of Michigan State University. Coach Mannie bares the nuts and bolts...the schematic for inculcating college football players to reach for and attain higher levels.
This is an excerpt from the Michigan State Strength Clinic, an annual event held in February. Watch this video and you'll more than likely attend next year's clinic!!

University of Kentucky Football is gearing up for another exciting season in the SEC.  Let's just say that they did a sweet job with that basketball training program down there.

This is some raw footage from one of their "Thursday Night Lights" workout sessions, one that started late due to bad weather forecasts and ended early due to the same.... as you'll notice some purple clouds rolling in.

If you're going to do the olympic lifts in your training program, do them the proper way! I can't tell you how many high schools that I have visited and saw athletes demonstrating how NOT to do them. 
Detroit Lions Asst Strength & Conditioning Coach Ted Rath explains the necessary progressions for athletes who are incorporating olympic lifting movements into their training program. Sean Williamson, now the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Morehead State University, demonstrates the progression movements.
