Chasing Clout I’ve seen an alarming trend in strength and conditioning and in coaching more broadly in the last few years: a contingent of coaches eschewing fundamental principles of training in pursuit of popular methods. My hypothesis is that fundamental principles are just too boring to take the time to understand but also too boring to apply for many coaches. The analogy I use to describe training to athletes is a train on tracks, it’s the same train cars over and over, rarely changing in size, shape or color. It moves relatively slowly but almost without fail reaches its destination.
