NSCA Oklahoma State Clinic was a success! Fortunate to represent Serco's Team H2Fit, and also speak to a topic that we should all aspire to, and further our profession: High performance Director- Performance & Welfare: Where The Future of Strength and Conditioning Should Be!

Dec 4th and 5th, the Louisianna State Clinic jumps off. I'm hittin' this topic hard: High Performance Director- Performance and Welfare: Where the Future of Strength and Conditioning Should Be!

Want to change the profession and its standards? Elevate to a Senior Staff position!

It isn't about bear crawls. It's about standards & expectations! Bear crawls aren't a standard, nor is any punishment/drill. Standards are behaviors and characteristics, like accountability/discipline. A shameful lack of due diligence re: Coach Whitt's character and intent.

Yesterday, I stirred up a hornet’s nest.

A 🏈 coach sent me a post ⤵️

The first day in Basic Training, Rusty Whitt said due to one standard violation out of 200 of them resulted in bear crawling from 8:00am-12:00pm.

"What happens if you take the kind of standards they expect in an infantry basic training setting and put it into a college setting?"

🤔

I quote tweeted ⤵️

This is how NOT to do it. 🥴

… (notice that I was not disrespectful, did not get personal, and did not accuse the man of abusive coaching)

IMO, this echoed of what happened recently at Arizona State. ⤵️

The Arizona State hockey incident involving 21-year-old Matthew Mayich occurred on August 20, 2026. Mayich suffered catastrophic brain damage after collapsing during a military-style conditioning workout conducted in Arizona's summer heat. His family's attorney says he has no chance of meaningful recovery.

The defenders of Rusty Whitt called me “soft” and much worse. Attacks were often personal.

They pointed out that Whitt doesn’t believe in military discipline in college sports. (Totally contradicting the clip.)

Many defended it saying Florida was 4-0 and ranked 8th… and that Rusty Whitt has been a winner everywhere he’s gone. (He’s an S&C guy 🤔)

Many told me I should stay in my lane (washed up high school track coach).

I have always believed that military discipline and physical punishment has no place in education-based sports. I’ve seen far too much in my 44 years as a coach.

I can’t imagine talking about bear crawling four hours on a cinder track with a perverse nostalgia and applying it to a football team.

I will not be silenced. 😊

Serco is recruiting! Absolutely energized from talking to graduate and undergraduate students at Springfield College yesterday, about the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program in the U.S. Army! I have great optimism about the next generation of Strength Coaches.
