  • What is a Strength and Conditioning Coach?

    What is a Strength and Conditioning Coach?

    Parents, One of the basic ways we relate to other adults is through our work. I know for men, it’s not too far into an initial meeting at church, kid’s birthday party, or wherever that the, “what do you do?” question is posed. While I know exactly what I do and who I am professionally, I have to admit that I often stumble with what to tell people! “I’m a strength and conditioning coach” doesn’t land on a concrete understanding for most people. Unless you have been a college or professional athlete, most people have never been exposed to a legitimate strength and conditioning coach. And while I can also go with, “I own and ....

  • Being Uncomfortable

    Being Uncomfortable

    Parents, Sometimes a really good high school athlete attends a trial session and doesn’t end up joining our strength and conditioning program…and I’m surprised. I ’m surprised because I’ve received a consistent message from both the parents and the athlete that the goal is to play at the next level… I’m surprised because the athlete had a solid trial session and there’s no logistical issue keeping them from training with us… I’m surprised because 9 times out of 10 an athlete like I’ve just described joins our program, but in this case the athlete does not. I believe the root of the problem is that the ....

  • Parents, are you taking care of yourselves?

    Parents, Most of the time when I’m writing to you it’s about your athlete and their sports, ambitions, and goals. However, our current social climate has influenced me to turn some of my attention toward you, the parent, who are the link between me and your athlete. Crazy times can throw us into a tailspin on our own health and fitness goals. However, I’ve noticed that TAT parents right now are either healthier and fitter than they’ve been in years or they’re struggling to keep up with healthy habits. It probably has a lot to do with your personal economic situation. If your income is steady and not a constant worry then the covid shut down has freed ....

I hope you and your family have found at least a semi-comfortable new normal. However, as the prior quote attests, there is a wide disparity between doing well…or not…under pressure. So here are some thoughts on something that may be the most integral component to how well your family responds to this pressure… that integral component is your marriage . Your marriage will likely get better or worse from this situation. There’s really not a stay-the-same option when conditions change in a ....

  • Now the How

    Parents and Coaches, Does that subject line sound like a Dr. Seuss book? Earlier this week, I explained what is actually going on INSIDE your muscle tissue when you utilize a foam roller. (see below how to watch that video). Now it’s time for the HOW part of foam rolling! Your athlete should watch the following video for a crash course on foam rolling. A thorough routine should incorporate all the body parts explained in this video. Then as your athlete learns which body parts need more work, they can spend more time on those parts while relegating others to minimal maintenance. Watch it on Facebook: Foam Rolling Crash Course Not a Facebook user? See it on ....

My son has done 3 months at TAT in preparation for fall football. After his first "real" football practice with the team he looked at me and said he could've never made it through that if he hadn't been doing the sports training. Wow! Words of praise from an 11 year old- thanks for all the training Coach Dan and fellow coaches.

Dan worked with my son Alex over the summer . I was thoroughly impressed with his training methods and the confidence and he instilled in my son. Not only does he build strength and balance but he teaches his athletes to think like elite athletes .

As a PT(physical therapist) and baseball mom, I have always recognized the need to add strength speed and agility to my sons training regime and have been a fan of TAT for many years now - now as a client I can further attest to the power of the program. TAT has helped my son build a strong foundation in preparation for his first year playing D1 baseball at JU. Dan and all his staff put a tremendous amount of time, focus and energy into the development of each athlete using age and developmentally appropriate drills to maximize gains. Attention to detail and technique are evident in all aspects of TAT and a large part of the reason I chose this program for my son, Jacob. We drove all the way from Mt. Dora to be a part of this program and found it more than worth it!
