I can only imagine the amount of #karens who would complain about this approach. Instead, in our western world, many parents pay a ton of money to be part of a club that already do this, passively.

It’s the people who love, support, and stand by you that truly make a family. #ChosenFamily #thevillage #ohana 🙏🏽 . . . #24nwc #24nyc #24njc #usaweightlifting @usa_weightlifting

‘Get brilliant with the basics, and you will always do a good job’ .#Repost @the_sean_waxman with @use.repost ・・・ — What I Learned About Being A Coach From Joe Carbone @_joecarbone_ In 1998, I was the Head Strength Coach for the College of the Canyons, and Joe was Kobes’s Strength Coach and had been since he was in high school. They started working together when Joe was the head Strength Coach for the 76ers. The NBA had a lockout 50 games into the 98-99 season, leaving the players without access to the team facilities for six months. I offered Joe the use of my facility, and in July, Joe and Kobe would start training at the College of the Canyons Weightroom and Basketball Gym. At this point, four years into my Strength Coaching career, I hadn’t yet started coaching professional athletes. So, I was excited to watch Joe work with Kobe. I figured I would learn all the exotic methodologies and techniques you need to develop professionals. What I saw was not exotic. It was basic barbell training executed brilliantly. Squatting, Pressing, and Olympic lifts comprised most of Kobes’s training. His technique was flawless, thanks to Joe. I asked Joe about his methodology, and what he said changed the trajectory of my approach to athletic development. He said, “Nearly all team sports athletes, no matter how physically gifted or advanced on the court or field, are beginners here, and the training should be basic barbell training because that is what they need.” I watched Kobes’s body change with every Back Squat and Power Clean, and by the time the next season came around, he transformed into the Mamba. I can never thank Joe and Kobe enough for letting me into their world. That time we all spent together was like getting a degree in Strength and Conditioning from a Master Craftsmen. If basic barbell training is good enough for Kobe Bryant, it’s sure as shit good enough for your High School and College athletes. Don’t overcomplicate things. Get brilliant with the basics, and you will always do a good job. #strengthandconditioning #strength #conditioning #basketball #kobebryant #weightlifting #Olympiclifts #backsquat #JoeCarbone
