Coach Ryan says protein is underrated. Not for one group. For everybody.

Most athletes eat like they're not training the way they're actually training. If you're going hard four or five days a week, your protein has to match that intensity or you don't build the muscle you're working for.

And to be clear, carbs aren't the enemy. Athletes need them to fuel the session and recover from it. Protein builds. Carbs power.

Not an athlete? Still matters. If you're trying to lose body fat without losing the muscle underneath it, protein is what protects the muscle you already have.

And it gets more important with age, not less. Building and holding muscle gets harder every decade, so the protein has to go up, not down.

That's why nutrition is part of how we do athletic development in Lincoln, not an afterthought to the training.

Stop making these 4 training mistakes if you want real results!

1️⃣ Inconsistency – Can’t get great results without consistency -in- season is extremely important.

2️⃣ Poor Ex*****on – You must execute lifts and drills properly to get the most out of them.

3️⃣ Unstructured Programs– Programs lacking proper principles and purpose. Don't just lift; train speed, movement, increase function to improve athleticism.

4️⃣ Ignoring Recovery – Sleep, nutrition, and hydration are key to getting the most out of your workouts.

Most athletes warm up without intention or structure.

A warm-up before training should do three things:

RAISE — Get tissue and joint temperature up. Warm muscle lengthens, cold
muscle tears.

MOBILIZE + ACTIVATE — Dynamic mobility and activation drills to open up range
of motion and switch on the muscle groups that day's session actually demands.

MOVEMENT PREP — Build from low intensity up to real speed, through the ranges
and vectors the session calls for. This is what wakes the nervous system up,
so your first rep looks like your last.

Getting loose isn't the goal. Getting more out of every rep is.
