Most ACL injuries don’t happen while sprinting.
They happen while stopping.

Deceleration is the most undertrained skill in youth and collegiate athletics — and it’s one of the biggest reasons athletes get hurt.

Here’s what the research tells us:
Braking forces during deceleration can reach up to 5.9x body weight. The knee absorbs a massive share of that load every single time an athlete cuts, stops, or changes direction.

Most training programs build speed and power. Almost none of them train athletes how to absorb force, control landing mechanics, or decelerate under fatigue.

And after ACL surgery? Athletes cleared for return to sport still show reduced force absorption, altered landing patterns, and quad asymmetry. A timeline doesn’t equal readiness. The movement quality has to be there first.

This is exactly why deceleration training is a non-negotiable in every program I build — especially for athletes returning from injury.

The difference one week makes 💪🏼

Stronger. More confident. Better technique. And what I’m most proud of — he’s starting to understand the why behind every movement.

That’s when the real growth happens. Not when an athlete just follows instructions, but when they start to own their training.

He’s just getting started.

Most athlete injuries don’t happen because of bad luck.

They happen because nobody checked the foundation before building on top of it.

No assessment. No movement screen. Just load, volume, and hope.

That’s not training with intention — that’s gambling with your athlete’s health.

At Moving With Purpose, every athlete goes through a full evaluation before we build anything. We need to know how you move, where you’re strong, and where you’re vulnerable.

Because a program built on a broken foundation doesn’t build athletes. It breaks them.
If your athlete hasn’t been assessed, that’s step one.

If your child is training with us this week, here's what to expect — and why it matters. 👇🏻

A lot of parents ask me: "What actually happens at the assessment?"

Great question. Here's the honest answer.

Before I ever write a single workout for an athlete, I need to understand how they move. Where they're strong. Where they're limited. What their sport demands of their body. And what their history looks like.

Because here's the truth — two athletes can play the same sport, be the same age, and need completely different programs.

The assessment is how we figure that out.

We look at movement mechanics, strength, mobility, stability, and sport-specific patterns. We talk about injury history. We talk about goals.

And then — and only then — do we build a program.

That's what "Moving With Purpose" actually means. Every rep, every session, every decision has a reason behind it.

Your athlete deserves more than random workouts. They deserve a plan built for them.

We have assessments starting this week. If you have questions before you come in, my inbox is open.

See you soon. 💪🏼

One thing I see often with young athletes is jumping straight into intense workouts without first building the foundation that actually supports long-term performance.

For middle school and high school athletes, development should focus on:
• movement quality
• coordination and body control
• strength fundamentals
• sprint mechanics
• proper jumping and landing mechanics

When these are developed early, athletes build strength, speed, and durability that carries into high school and college sports.

Long-term athlete development always beats rushing intensity.

-Too many young athletes skip the fundamentals and go straight to heavy weights. 👇🏻

What do you think young athletes should focus on first?

Morning on the road.

Started the day with some coffee ☕️ and answering emails while working on Moving With Purpose: Sports Performance.

Later with the guys getting some pregame CNS prep in — med ball throws, plyos, and resisted sprints to get the nervous system ready before first pitch ⚡️

Always grateful for the opportunity to coach, teach, and help athletes move with purpose.

As I look back on November, I’m reminded that everything I do — serving athletes, coaching, healing, teaching — is only possible because of Jesus Christ.
He chose us, blessed us, and adopted us through His grace (Ephesians 1:3–6).

Move with purpose. Move with gratitude. Move with Christ

When it comes to programming strength and conditioning, the #1 principle to understand is GAS—General Adaptation Syndrome.

Simply put, it’s how the body responds to stress:
➡️ Stress (the workout)
➡️ Recovery (rest, nutrition, sleep)
➡️ Adaptation (getting stronger, faster, more resilient)

If you skip or overload any part of this cycle, progress stalls—or worse, injuries happen. The best programs are built with GAS in mind: stress the body just enough, allow proper recovery, and watch athletes adapt to higher levels of performance.
