#2 - Year-Round Strength & Speed: Taking the Next Step

Pursue Your Best ⚡️

In this second voiceover episode, we dive deeper into how to put your year-round Strength & Speed ideas into action. We recap the five essentials of a successful program—from administrative buy-in to creating a unified vision with sport coaches—and add real-world tips on integrating everything into the school day. Whether you’re a PE teacher or a multi-sport coach, this episode will give you practical steps for embedding Strength & Speed training in a busy school setting.


Main Takeaways

  1. Administrative Buy-In is Non-Negotiable

    • Show your principal or AD the benefits—improved health, academic focus, and athletic performance.

    • Action Step: Invite them to watch a short Strength & Speed session. Once they see the impact firsthand, they’ll more likely champion the program.

  2. Making It Part of the School Day

    • The biggest game-changer is embedding Strength & Speed into a daily PE class.

    • Saves coaches from sacrificing practice time, and saves kids from 5 a.m. lifts.

    • Action Step: Start small—two days a week, or every other day—and gradually scale up.

  3. Unified Vision with Sport Coaches

    • Regular communication (weekly or monthly) keeps Strength & Speed goals aligned with in-season or off-season demands.

    • Pro Tip: Show coaches how you track progress for tangible proof of athlete development.

  4. Looking Ahead

    • Future newsletters will tackle building a year-round schedule and creating a Strength & Speed culture.

    • Next week, we’ll explore Overcoming Scheduling Roadblocks in your weight room.
