Manchester…I underestimated you.

05/10/2026

Just wrapped up an unbelievable experience at the Sportsmith conference. It was an honor to share the stage with such brilliant minds and present to 400 deep of a who’s who of the sports performance world at the unbelievable Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

Besides the amazing talks, I had a chance to meet so many legends I’ve only worked with remotely, corresponded with or admired their work from afar. And also catch up with long time friends I only see every couple years.

Well done to Rob Pacey and his entire team. Top class in every regard.

4 days in Seattle 📸

I had 2 west coast games in a 6 day stretch with North Carolina Courage so the team stayed on the road for 9. That meant 3ish days in Salt Lake City and 4ish in Seattle (before I headed to the UK for a conference).

Being away from the family can be rough but I love the Pacific Northwest. We lived 2 years up in Vancouver, BC and fell in love. We visited Seattle often. Going back is always a trip down memory lane.

Stay hungry. Between my role with the team, consulting and speaking I travel a lot. Whenever possible, I try to visit other respected professionals in their environment.

Lectures, seminars, podcasts and books are great, but there’s nothing like putting boots on the ground and face to face real talk to learn how things are actually being done in high performance environments.

Thank you to Nate Brookreson and the entire Seattle Kraken performance staff for showing me around and sharing your hows and whys.

More games and more sport-specific practice aren’t always the answer. Early specialization can crowd out the things young athletes need to develop: exposure to other activities, strength training, and enough rest to recover.

Build the athlete, not just the schedule. 💪

3 days in Utah as part of the longest away trip of the season.

Some soccer, lots of hiking at altitude and some beautiful Lotus (at an annual meetup 🤷🏻‍♂️)

🤡 “LiFtINg wEiGhts wilL sTuNT yOUr kID’s GrOwTh.”

🧐 The research says otherwise. 👇

A review of 22 reports found that supervised resistance training did not affect height or weight growth in pre- and early-adolescent youth.

In the 10 studies that systematically tracked injuries, researchers reported just 3 injuries.

🤡 “BUt thE GRowTh pLAteS”

Growth plates aren’t invincible…but there’s been ZERO growth-plate injuries reported in prospective youth resistance-training studies that provided professional guidance and instruction. Case reports of injuries do exist BUT they involve poor technique, inappropriate loads, or inadequate supervision.

And kids don’t need to wait until adulthood to get stronger: a meta-analysis found a substantial improvement in muscular strength from resistance training in children AND adolescents.

Takeaway:
💪🏽 Coach the lift, don’t fear the lift.
👨🏻‍🏫 Teach technique, use age-appropriate loads, progress gradually, and supervise the session.
