The document provides guidance on creating a strong weight room training culture. It discusses defining the culture, analyzing the history and current situation, and making an action plan. The action plan involves stepping back to assess, keeping current progress, evaluating and refining processes, and looking ahead. It emphasizes the importance of relationships between the weight room and sport coaches, staff, athletes, and athletic training. Rules for coaches and staff using the weight room are also outlined to maintain a positive training environment.

2. Who am I and how do I know what it takes?
Been around sports as long as I can remember
ï Success and Failure
Was never naturally gifted, had to work for every inch I moved forward in sports
ï Blue Collar mentality & a lunch-pail work ethic
Knew that if I wanted to keep up athletically I needed to train smarter not just
harder
ï Surrounding myself with leaders in the field and great people
Practical research based education
ï B.S. Strength & Conditioning â Ex. Science ~~ M.A. Kinesiology â Ex. Physiology
ï Multiple Professional Certifications â CSCS, RSCC, USAW, TPI
ï Incorporating scientific based research methodologies and techniques to
enhance athletic performance in the most effective manner possible to
understanding why it works not just that it works
ï Study the art of coaching and the art of people
Non-athletics related mentors
ï Academic / Business Executives
3. Letâs Start With a Quote
âThere is nothing more difficult and dangerous, or
more doubtful of success, than an attempt to
introduce a new order of things in any state. For
the innovator has for enemies all those who
derived advantages from the old order of things
while those who expect to be benefited by the
new institutions will be but lukewarm defendersâ
- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
4. What is âCultureâ?
âCulture is the way of life of a group of people
consisting of the behaviors, beliefs and values they
accept, generally without question, that are passed
down by communication and/or imitation from one
generation to the next.â
ï https://www.tamu.edu/faculty/choudhury/culture.html
5. Define Your Culture
Who are you?
ï How does that impact how you do things?
What is your mission?
ï Does it make sense for you to try to accomplish this?
What is the lasting impact (Vision)?
ï What ultimately is the goal beyond Wâs?
How far away or how close are you currently?
6. Global - Behaviors, Beliefs and Values
Who am I?
ï A dealer in Truth
ï A builder of Confidence
What are we here for?
ï To win / be successful in a results driven business (Athletics)
ï To mentor & develop young people in sport and life (Coaching)
What is important to us?
ï Commitment to & pride in âUsâ (Team Pride)
ï Self-accountability & altruism (Discipline)
ï Displaying mental toughness & having resilience (Strength of
Character)
7. Why are these things important to us?
We seek to give those who come to us the
opportunity to become self-sufficient, self-
aware people of high moral fiber, who are
willing and able to do the things necessary to
achieve personal and team success while
representing âUsâ well both during their time
with us and after as well.
8. Adapted Imitation is the best place to start
Dick Fosbury anyone?
ï Sometimes you need to innovate away from what is
currently done, forge your own pathâŠ
ï Other times you need to adapt what is currently
working for others to your situationâŠ
Be wary of âcoin flip coachesâ and other âguruâsâ who talk
about how it should be done but have never done it
themselves.
ï One-time or cyclical success isnât the same thing as
consistent success over time.
ï Eventually the blind squirrel finds a nut.
9. If You Want To See Culture Look No Further
Teams who you may have heard of?
UCLA Basketball? De La Salle Football?
St. Anthony Menâs Basketball? UConn Womenâs Basketball?
Kansas Menâs Basketball? Alabama Football?
Penn State Volleyball?
ï Many moreâŠ. Often in books and wearing rings.
ï Process orientated systems that are built to last so they
create tradition.

11. Why is it important in the weight room?
The physical demand of training requires a particular environment in
order for it to get results as you are often asking athletes to do things
they may not have ever done or currently believe they cannot doâŠ
ï Que the buzz words every (Sport) Coach wantsâŠ
Consistency Pride Mental Toughness
Commitment Positive Attitude Work Ethic
Discipline Accountability Character
Communication Altruism Confidence
Team Work Trust <insert word of choice>
12. Why is it important in the weight room?
The Bleed Out Effect
ï Generally speaking, all athletes from all teams use a
common WR(s) and S&C Staff. So some things related to
the WR have to be global for all who use it.
ï There has to be some kind of underlying current of
consistency and uniformity.
âAll animals are equal, but some animals are
more equal than others.â
â George Orwell, Animal Farm
13. Two paths leading to the same place
Youâre the First S&C Coach Ever
Congrats, youâre in the best situation!
Youâre the most recent S&C Coach
Hopefully the person before you didnât leave you out to dry
14. Get a History Lesson
ï Take time to understand the history of
the situation and the people involved.
ï Often times things âare the way they
areâ because precedents were set that
made them that way without realizing
the ripples turned into tsunamiâs
somewhere else.
âWhat you tolerate you encourageâ
15. Create a History Analysis
ï Sport Coaches & Staff
ïWho has influence on the WR? Why
and should they?
ï Who values the WR and who does not?
ïWho wants you to help and who
doesnât? Why not?
16. Create a History Analysis
ï Who must you keep on your side? Who
can you afford to lose at times?
ïNot everyone is critical, but those
who are must be kept happy!
ï What are the expectations for you?
ïAre you just the person to supervise
the facility or are you a Coach?
17. Create a History Analysis
ï Facility & WR Staff
ï Is it clean? Is it organized?
ïIs the equipment maintained?
ïHow has the space evolved?
ïWhat has been done, why, how?
ïWhat level of competency does the staff
have?
ïAre they autonomous or need POLISH?
18. Create a History Analysis
ï Athletes
ïDo they use the WR?
ïHow much do they use it?
ïHow do they use it?
ïWhat do they need to do vs what they
have been doing?
19. Making an Action Plan
ï Phase 1aâ Stepping back to go forward
ï Phase 1bâ Keeping/Getting the ball rolling
ï Phase 2â Evaluate, Refine, Create
ï Phase 3â Looking ahead
âAction and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error,
change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-
confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh
hope. And out of hope, progress.â - Bruce Barton
20. Phase 1a - Stepping back to go forward
Introductions / Meetings
ï Getting face time with coaches & student-athletes
ï Watch training sessions / practices /
competitions
Understanding the dynamics at play
ï Taking the time to assess the situation and
determine if and what changes might be needed
while fostering trust and building rapport
Growth is a process, at times it can be fast but more
often then not it shouldnât be rushed
21. Phase 1b â Keeping the ball rolling
ïRisk Management
ïSafety, Flow, Standards
ï Team Training Plans
ïWhat are we doing now?
ïWhere are we going?
ïWhere would we like to be?
ï Administrative
ïDepartment status & staff organization
ïFacility schedule
22. Phase 2 â Evaluate , Refine, Create
ï Staff â Team Assignments
ï Scheduling / Facility use
ï Training plans
ï Department usage and areas to improve
ï Facility maintenance / repair issues
ï Equipment needs vs. wants (wish-list)
ï Internship program
ï Performance educational materials
ï Website / Social media footprint
ï Research projects with Ex. Science Dept.
23. Phase 3 â Looking ahead
Relative to vision, resources and need
ï Department Growth
ï Staff / Facility
ï Supplement sponsorship / Nutrition
ïResearch projects
ïVideos / Web based training information
ïTechnology
ï Outreach
ïCamps / Clinics
ïFundraising
ïHosting events / conferences
24. WR Culture is a dynamic continuum of 5 relationships
WR
Culture
WR to
Sport
Coach
WR to
Itself
WR to
Staff
WR to
Athletes
WR to
ATC/SM
25. In Relation To Sport Coaches and
StaffâŠ
âŠor becoming a
Master of the Human Element
26. WR to Staff
ï Be seen. Talk to other staff, especially those you
donât normally interact with.
ï Get out of the office. Walk around. Be friendly.
ï You might be known as a lunatic, show them youâre
human too. Unless you are a lunatic.
ï Have a staff hour / open time.
ï Not everyone wants or like to train. Donât try to convert
people. Those who want to come will. Those who donât,
wonât.
ï Be helpful if someone needs help.
ï Donât let your gym become a health club for staff.
27. WR to Staff
ï Be helpful in outside projects/events
ï Get people to see you want to help your athletes beyond
just the scoreboard.
ï What kind of additional value can you bring to the
staff as a whole so it helps create value towards
the WR in other peopleâs minds?
ï Are you good at logistics, are you an idea person, what
other skills do you have?
28. WR vs ATC or WR & ATC
ï The undereducated S&C Coach or ATC are
cancerous to athletic development.
ï Atypically, there is a large divide between the
people who know what it takes to physically do it
and the people who know the âhow toâ behind how
it physically happens.
ï A S&C must know âwhat it takesâ to do it, and also
what âhow it worksâ to do it.
ï An ATC must know âhow it worksâ to do it and also
must have a reference of âwhat it takesâ physically
to do it.
29. WR vs ATC or WR & ATC
Having a rock solid relationship with Sports Medicine is the only way
to have a successful S&C program.
The greatest ally to a S&C Coach is their Athletic Trainer/PT
ï Always being on the same page
ï Reviewing injury reports together
ï Planning training adjustments together
ï Consistent message to sport coaches
ï Consistent message to athletes
ï Collaboration
ï Sharing philosophies and combining best aspects of each
ï Research projects / cont. ed. to improve both sides of the
continuum
30. WR to Sport Coach
ï Lack/unwillingness of Sport Coach buy-in is the
#1 killer to WR culture. If the Sport Coach doesnât
value it, the team wonât value it.
ï Constant Communication, Education and
Explanation in the way the Sport Coach can
understand.
ï Process Person vs Results Person
ï More than just metricsâŠIdentify and discuss
development of the athlete as person
31. A Strength Coach Sport Coach?
ï If your Sport Coach is knowledgeable, talk with them, listen to them,
gain their insights and their slights, incorporate what you know and
push things forward in a positive direction.
ï Donât be afraid to let it roll.
ï If your Sport Coach thinks they are knowledgeable but really isnât,
educate them. Talk to them, show them information, get them to
understand you bring value they donât have.
ï Donât be afraid to stand your ground.
ï If your Sport Coach isnât knowledgeable, or simply just doesnât care
about your piece of the pie, shift your focus from getting them to see
you as valuable to getting the athletes to see you as valuable.
ï Once a Sport Coachâs athletes, especially their favorites, say they like what
you do and it positively impacts their performance, the leash magically
gets longer.
32. WR Training is Team Practice
ï Training with S&C needs to be viewed as
training with the Head Coach.
ï What is acceptable and what is not at practice?
ï Coaches and Staff do not workout during lifts.
ï Itâs not 24hour fitness. Until Coaches can play for
the kids, we donât need practice bodies here.
ï Invite them to watch / Ask them to leave.
ï Do not lounge around with poor body language or
be a distraction when the athletes are training.
33. WR Scheduling
ï The Head S&C Coach has the final say in regards to all time conflicts/issues of
scheduling and weight-room facility (WR) use.
ï While the Head S&C Coach will always make every effort to coordinate as best
as possible with the desired schedule requests from each Sport Coach, only a
S&C Coach may schedule a training session in the WR. Any time given to an
S&C Coach from a Sport Coach is a tentative time until confirmed by the S&C
Coach.
ï Due to the long-range ineffectiveness of discontinuous training programs,
teams who opt not to pursue training with the S&C staff synchronously
throughout the year will forfeit scheduling priority to those who do regardless if
they are "in-season" or not.
ï Daily/Weekly adjustments to the semester schedule may be requested by the
respective S&C Coach and/or Sport Coach, though any times outside of the
previously agreed upon times may not be available due to other previously
scheduled sessions or availability.
ï Unscheduled walk-ins by SA's or non-communicated changes to workout times
by Sport Coaches or SA's are not acceptable and use of the facility will not be
allowed under such circumstances.
34. Rules for Coaches & Staff
ï To maintain a positive training environment and high training standard please help the S&C Department
uphold the following rules and regulations when using the weight room. If you have any questions about the
changes in policy please call or email Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Joe Staub.
ï There will be a set âOpen Hoursâ time that that can be used by any eligible staff member to lift in the weight
room. This designated time slot will be set by the Head S&C Coach before the respective semester starts and
communicated appropriately to all required parties.
While you are observing a training session -
ï Please do not sit / lounge while in the WR
ï If you need to use your cellphone please step outside the WR
ï Please be mindful of the training time available and limit casual conversation with the SAâs
ï Please refrain from adjusting or trying to change a SAâs technique before speaking with the S&C Coach
ï Please be mindful of your surroundings and the âflowâ of training session to find a safe place to stand
While you are doing your personal workouts -
ï Please do not âliftâ while a team is training in the weight room. Contact an S&C Coach for times that you may
use the weight room. Please be aware that the training schedule is subject to change with limited to no notice
and you may be asked to stop your personal workout.
ï Always defer to any SA who needs equipment / space that you are using regardless of the SAâs duration of use
ï Please âclean upâ after yourself and replacing all equipment used back to its original location
ï No cell phones, IPods or audio systems are allowed on the weight room floor. Such devices can only be used
to listen to music / watch videos while using the cardio equipment
Additional Items
ï Please do not let any SA into the WR. Any SA using the facility must be supervised by an S&C Coach at all
times.
ï Please do not remove equipment from the WR unless previously discussed and agreed upon with a S&C Coach
35. Donât get stuck on other peopleâs time
ï There has to be some kind of formal structure for when
a team is late, cancels, or in some way isnât respectful
of your time. (Professional Respect)
ï If there is no value to you or what you do, there is no
value to your time.
ï After previously confirming the session is happening if a
team is more than 20min late without communication, I
go on to the next thing in my day.
ï In the short term the athletes may suffer but you
cannot allow such a poor precedent to be set.
Shift the paradigm from being
âsupport staffâ & into âcoaching staffâ
36. The Punishment Police
ï Break away from the dogma that you are the
person who punishes athletes.
ï If an athlete needs to be âinspiredâ due to an
issue with you, you deal with it.
ï If an athlete needs to be âinspiredâ due to an
issue with Sport Coach, academics, Sports Med,
etc. That person deals with it.
ï Recruit / Build Better Character
38. WR to Athlete
If you can show them you
care, show them you are
serious about them being
serious, be consistent in
your approach and have a
framework to go off of, they
will buy in.
You canât Febreze your way
through dealing with people.
They will eventually notice
the stink.
39. WR to Athletes
ï Never play favorites. Demand the same
thing from everyone.
ï Even I do Burpeeâs when I make a mistake
ï Be willing to have fun.
ï Letâs make a deal! and the âWheel of Painâ
ï Kickball days
ï Be available, and not just to workout
ï Extra workouts and have an open door.
40. WR to Athletes
ï Get them for them to get you.
ï Educate yourself about what is going on today at
their level and in their life and communicate
about it.
ï Social Media, Music, âSocial Injusticesâ
41. WR to Athletes
ï Coaching vs Encouraging
ï What feedback are you giving?
ï Chastise and Praise
ï The hype man and listening to music
ï Clearly defined rules and expectations
ï A kid may not remember what an exercise
is but they will never forget when someone
got away with something (and they didnât).
42. Rules with purpose, not Rules to have Rules
ï Rules for Safety
ï No rings, jewelry, glass water bottles, gum
ï Rules for Culture
ï 3 Strike Policy
ï First Offense - WR privileges suspended for the remainder
of the day.
ï Second Offense - WR privileges suspended for the
remainder of the week.
ï Third Offense - WR privileges suspended for the remainder
of the semester.
ï Attire - Wear âourâ stuff.
ï Sitting - Be an active participant, âmove with purposeâ!
43. Rules for Athletes
The use of the Weight Room (WR) is a privilege, not a right. Proper attitude & behavior is required at all times
while using the facility or the privilege of use will be revoked.
ï An S&C staff member must be present to use the WR. No-one is allowed to be in the facility alone at any
time.
ï Athletes must be on time for workouts unless there is a prior arrangement with the S&C Coach. All
workouts must be scheduled with the S&C Coach, unannounced drop-ins are not allowed.
ï All individuals are responsible for âcleaning upâ after themselves and replacing equipment back to its
original location.
ï Hofstra issued clothing / gear only. No hats, hooded sweatshirts, clothing from another school or team,

ï Positive attitude, focus and the desire to improve are required.
If you do not understand what a particular exercise is or how to properly do something, Ask!
Failure to comply with the above rules will result in disciplinary action.
44. WR to Athletes
People naturally gravitate towards the popular trend of
the group.
ï Create exclusivity.
ï Competition is exclusive it is not inclusive.
ï Recognition Boards
ï Public displays of success
ï Annual Awards
ï Top athlete per team, top athletes at school
ï Competitions for prizes
ï T-shirts do amazing things. Socks you say?
45. Write on the Wall
To write on the wall you must achieve one of the following standards during testing. If you do, you can write your name, date, test and result in the color you earned
and leave your mark for others to challenge.

48. WR to Itself
What do WR materials come off as?
ï Is WR âstuffâ presented professionally?
ï Is it organized, visible and coherent or do you need a
degree to decipher it? Can you write on it?
ï Are papers stapled twice so they doesnât rip?

53. In Relation To Your Staff
âŠor developing Culture Enhancers
54. Teach â Coach - Mentor
ï One of the most important things you can do as a
teacher / coach / mentor is to set a high
standard for those in your purview.
ï However it is not only important to set the
standard high and to hold them accountable to it,
but to guide them to find their own path in
eventually creating their own high standard.
ï While every journey has a start and end point, not
every journey takes the same route to find a
similar end.
55. Teach â Coach - Mentor
For someone in a position of leadership, the core
element of developing your staff to be more
operationally efficient is to Teach, Coach and Mentor.
ï Teach
ï show the how & where, explain the what & why
ï Coach
ï assist in self sufficient skill development in the
things taught
ï Mentor
ï provide guidance for further mastery, be a
sounding board
56. P.O.L.I.S.H.
In order to help those who have not had a TCM
experience or not had to seek understanding
themselves, the goal should be to help P.O.L.I.S.H
those we work with.
ï PROFESSIONALISM
ï ORGANIZATION
ï LEADERSHIP
ï INTUATIVENESS
ï STRESS MANGAEMENT
ï HUSTLE
57. Professional Development
âMy Goal is to teach you everything I know so
that you become better than me and are able to

ï Fostering âUs & Weâ instead of âI & Meâ
ï The goal is to not have to say ânoâ but saying ânoâ can be
ok
ï Asking the person in the trenches but helping them
understand the battlefield
ï Help maintain a positive work/life balance
59. In Relation To Yourself
âŠor being the creator of Culture
60. Be educatedâŠIn everything
Having done it, is not enough. Knowing how to do it, is not
enough. Can you blend the art of coaching and science of
training to create buy-in and get positive results with those
you train and work with?
ï Being a former athlete or naturally very big/strong does
not mean youâre going to be a great S&C Coach.
ï Do you have the knowledge base to understand the
âwhyâ not just the âwhatâ of training?
ï Having a degree in Ex. Science or a bunch of certifications
does not mean youâre going to be a great S&C Coach.
ï Have you ever pushed yourself physically? What
training experiences do you have?
61. Be EducatedâŠ.In Everything
ï Everything works and Nothing works.
ï Thatâs why there are 100+ certifications and no national
or state licensure.
ï Be able to intelligently defend yourself with a evidence
driven strategic goal orientated plan
ï Be educated, be creative, experiment, but stay within
some framework with some rationale.
ï Coach who you have, what their abilities are, and what
the goals for them are both short & long term.
ï Be a Dealer In Truths
62. Be Open to LearnâŠfrom everything
ï âWisdom is being able to connect the dots
between your experiences and education.
Allowing you to create a cumulative net of
knowledge you can draw on, learn from, show
others and guide youâ â My Dad
ï Even the things not to do are still things to learn
from. Always look to draw a positive out of every
situation.
ï Just like how the body adapts to every stimulus
good or bad, you must do the same!
63. Keys to Success
ï Know what you know and know what you donât know
because you donât know what you donât know
ï Help those who help you, up and down the ladder
ï Listening is just as important as speaking
ï Just because you can, doesnât always mean that you
should
ï Donât force it if you donât need to
ï Everyone was new at some point and everyone is also
replaceable
ï Create tangibility, it helps build trust
ï When you can, sleep on it
ï You get out what you put in, donât seem surprised when
it doesnât smell like roses
