Happy Monday! Here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts and other continuing ed. Enjoy!

1. “80% of your job is knowing what not to do.” – Fergus Connolly. I couldn’t agree more. As a strength coach, a huge part of our job is knowing what not to do with certain athletes. What exercises are contraindicated for a certain athlete? What exercises are contraindicated for certain athletic populations due to their sporting demands? Common sense, but a huge part of keeping athletes healthy is by not doing things that may do just the opposite.
2. In the world of strength and conditioning, sports performance or coaching, complacency kills more careers then anything else. Always be learning. Always be evolving. Always be trying to be a better version of yourself personally and professionally.
3. Always remember; No one succeeds alone. No one. Ever.
