25.01.2022 Can we all agree that getting young boys and girls into the weights room earlier is a good thing? If not, I’d love to hear the counter argument AND I would love yo Utopia’s put your thoughts in the comments. Let’s start a discussion as to why we do/don’t need to start them lifting earlier. I think there is a lot of fear floating around that is keep people from seeing certain benefits. But my opinion aside, I’d love to invite good, honest and fair discussion around the point.... What are your thoughts? Have a great day! Like - Share - Save.

25.01.2022 As a strength coach, most of my work is done in the weights room. On occasion you’ll see me and my athletes on court tinkering and tweaking movements patterns. The question I ask is how are we making the athletes better at the stuff they normally do? Justin has one of the most deadly shots in the SBL and I ain’t touching it. Most coaches will give him shooting drills of which he doesn’t really need. How can we increase the speed of his first step? How do we increase his ...vertical jump to make his release point higher? How do we increase his lateral quickness to increase space between him and the defender? These are all questions we CAN answer through smart programming. Are you training smart or just putting up reps? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #CoachKnows #NBL #Basketball #TheAthletesChoice #Strength #Coach #Strong #BasketballAustralia #Training #Athlete #Fitness #Basketball #NBA #NBL #SBL #HighPerformance #BetterAthletes #IGFitness #IGStrong
25.01.2022 As it comes to the pointy end of the basketball season, it’s really starting to show who’s done the preseason strength training. It’s takes you a little while to gain strength and some smart work to keep it! However, any good basketball player will tell you that you can definitely notice who’s stronger and who’s needing more strength work. Let’s start by addressing this and looking filling your head with some of the in’s and out’s of what we do with our athletes here at the... Land Performance Centre as well as with the athletes that I train. These are foundational movements and essentials in almost all of our programs.Remember, drop me a comment with your thoughts as well as other ideas for what you’d like me to start dropping. We have 1000’s of ideas but I’d also love more of what YOU want. Have a great day! Like - Share - Save.

21.01.2022 This is a big deal. @rob.bevo.beveridge and Stephen Bird get you one of their books in the mail. Two amazing humans and I’m thankful for knowing them (and hopefully doing my PhD under one of them!!)...

19.01.2022 Elite Point Guard Clinic Guess what’s coming these holidays?? Only 10 spots available for each Week 1 and 2 of the school holidays. ... These ain’t babysitting clinics. these are skills and film sessions for those who are genuinely interested in taking their skills to the next level. Join one of the SBL’s most dominant point guards and shooter, @jking702 To be the best, you need to learn from the best. DM me to secure your spot and for more info. I’ll see you there!! #CoachKnows #TheAthletesChoice #LPC
18.01.2022 Sometimes I just need to put things on the record. To get better, we need to address some of the things that are not working and look at a way of fixing them. Sometime it offends people, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, let’s have a look at three different areas where we need to improve so that our coaching cohort as well as our athletes can all get better. Good plan?! Good. I thought so Have a great day!... Like - Share - Save.

16.01.2022 Been a long time coming but I’m really excited to get this under my belt. With everything going on in my life, the late nights were worth it. . To the people that helped, guided and mentored me along the way, I seriously couldn’t have done this without you. . Stephen Bird, @tania181 @sezzy_9 @v_athletic @danbakerstrength_ @the_asca - thank you so much!
16.01.2022 So excited to be partnering up with @hypericeaus and being the Western Australian home of all things elite recovery. .

14.01.2022 Simple, but effective. @luca_obrien putting in a little bit of plyometrics in our session this week. . Our goal is to slowly increase his GFR as well as get him using his arms and bounce working in unison. .

12.01.2022 One of my pet hates is when people talk about ‘the grind’. . It’s hard. It hurts and it’s not fun. Sorry, that’s the truth. But for every time you go through hell to find that tiny little piece of progress, you take another step ahead of those who talk the talk. . Start walking it. ... . #CoachKnows See more
11.01.2022 Back training is one of the most important parts of my programming when athletes come to see me at the Land Performance Centre. Yup, we do a lot of chin ups, rows, pulls, and hinge movements that are all geared around balancing out structural imbalances as well as evening up the strength deficits in most athletes. (Most are stronger through their anterior than they are in their posterior). A) Supinated Grip Chin Ups - 5x6 3010... B1) Inverted Row - 4x10-12 B2) TRX Row - 4x12-15 C1) Bent Over Single Arm Row - 4x 10-12 C2) Prone Incline DB Trap 3 Raises - 4x 10-12 Give it a go and tell me how you went.

09.01.2022 Guess what’s coming to @landperformancecentre ??? . Very soon, we’re going to be stepping up our recovery game with some @normatec_anz products to match with our already large array of @compex.anz, @rocktapeaustralia, @hypericeaus and @stickmobility_australia essentials. . These will be available for hire and we’ll be opening up introductory packs for you to purchase so that you can secure them when you need them. ... . Stay tuned for more details. See more
09.01.2022 Before you ask for ‘just a program’, I want you to remember something. To write you a program and frame something for you is the product of both 13 years of tens of thousands of training sessions AND understanding everything in this cheat sheet. Programs are complex. ... Programs are crafted with you in mind. They’re not something that’s just ‘spat’ out. They take time. They take a fair amount of thinking. What are your thoughts?

07.01.2022 TAG SOMEONE WITH KNEE ISSUES! . I’m going to be adding more content to the Fixing The Knee program for coaches and athletes simply by the amount of issues that appear to be popping up over the last 30 days. . More niggles, tendon issues, muscles strains and ligament tears is not what we want to see!! (and remember I said this going to happen earlier in the year? )... . I think we’ll also put a workshop together inside the @landperformancecentre for coaches and athletes to participate in once the @wabl_official and @wa_sbl_official season finishes. . #CoachKnows #TheAthletesChoice #ResultsOverHype @ Land Performance Centre See more
06.01.2022 Shoulder Mobility: It’s better to have it and not need than need it and not have it
05.01.2022 Something I put a lot of emphasis on is single leg work. Many will showcase their squats and deadlifts (and I’m guilty of this too!) But what you don’t see is the amount of single leg work that goes on behind the scenes. Developing strength in each leg in isolation plus eliminating imbalances is the name of the game when it comes to developing lower limb strength. If you like these videos, like and share and help me educate those that need and want it. I appreciate you!... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #CoachKnows #NBL #Basketball #TheAthletesChoice #Strength #Coach #Strong #BasketballAustralia #Training #Athlete #Fitness #Basketball #NBA #NBL #SBL #HighPerformance #BetterAthletes #IGFitness #IGStrong
05.01.2022 This is the closest thing I’ll come to owning anything @off____white . @raerodriguez_ - watch out. I’m getting my poses on point.
04.01.2022 A little finisher to some wave loading programming @willgreen.02 has been doing (6,3,1,6,3,1 reps) for the last couple of weeks. DB squats and RDL’s for 3x 10 followed by some change of direction line running with a command at the end. . Oh, and a nice shot from the top to finish it all off. ... . Work hard and use this if you want. It was a blast. . #CoachKnows #ResultsOverHype #BeatTheBS See more
03.01.2022 I get a real high when I see the athletes I train go to war. . @jacksonhussey and @mitchclarke_ have been putting huge amounts of work in 2020. . Proud of you both! #CoachKnows
03.01.2022 Scrawny to Brawny! . The feeling you get when you see your athletes coming in looking the best they’ve looked ever! Dialed in, running hot and having FUN. .
