The weight room is the most influential room in a school.
Itâs not a place to hang out â itâs a classroom.
A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

The title of Head Coach comes with respect. That coach with that title EARNED it. Your job as an assistant coach is to earn the respect of your HC through hard work and commitment to the program. If you canât do that, youâre in the wrong profession.

Iâve had programs fail, ideas fall flat, and opportunities not work out.
The biggest lesson? Being right doesnât guarantee success.
Timing matters. Relationships matter. Communication matters. Buy-in matters.
It isnât knowing what to doâitâs knowing how to get people there.
Q3) Tell us about something that didn't work out. What did that failure teach you that a win never could? #ironspeedchat

Forget the sets. Forget the reps. Forget the program.
Remember that I cared.
Remember that I showed up.
Remember that I held you to a standard because I believed in you.
The weight room was never just about getting stronger.
It was about becoming someone stronger.
Q2) If you could never coach again starting tomorrow, what do you want your athletes to remember about who you were as a person, not your program? #ironspeedchat

Adapt and adjust to the athletes, environment, schedule, and resourcesâbut donât compromise the principles.
Exercises can change. Sets and reps can change. Methods can change.
The standard doesnât.
Know your âwhyâ well enough to know whatâs flexible and whatâs non-negotiable.
Q1) Where's the line between adapting, adjusting, and compromising what you know is right in terms of programming for your athletes/teams? #ironspeedchat

Magnetic weight charts! Made in house at Seckinger HS. Can create any chart for your racks or any magnetic logos/graphs for your room or as a fundraiser. If interested, reach out and I will connect you with the right person! They are highly inexpensive roughly $5-$10 each. DM me!

Started another new tradition w/ the help of dads in our program. Dadâs game day breakfast is awesome! Really appreciate them bringing food and cooking for the boys after our morning lift game days. More opportunities for fellowship and mentorship for our guys. Shirts look great! @SKG_Football @SKG_Athletics

Ownership starts before the first rep.
Our SKG athletes set up their own racks and handles their prehab before training begins.
Prepare. Take ownership. Be ready to work.
The standard starts before the workout.

When I canât split out a true developmental group, I build development into the program.
Same movement patterns. Same training intent. Different entry points.
I adjust exercise selection, loading, volume, ROM, tempo, and complexity based on training age, competency & need.
Q2) How do you structure programming/development when you aren't able to split them into a devo group? #ironspeedchat

Everyone trains the same movement patterns and within the same system. What changes is exercise variation, load, volume, ROM, and complexity based on training age and competency.

If you want discipline in your building, bring discipline. If you want energy, bring energy. If you want athletes who take their physical development seriously, take yours seriously. @Nick__DiMarco
