06 Jul Kettlebell Training For Lacrosse (The Ultimate Guide)
Kettlebells are "the" most underutilized strength and conditioning tool for lacrosse athletes. I say this because most lacrosse athletes, or field athletes in general, don't really understand how these simple training tools can help them translate to better field performance. This is a sad fact. The appropriate and correct applications of kettlebell training will not only help athletes improve performance, but also greatly contribute to reducing risk for injuries, yet few athletes use these highly accessible tools. Why is that? I have many thoughts, but the bottom line is this article will shed some serious light on the topic. By using kettlebells, most athletes could improve speed and power measurements in just 6-8 weeks by following a structured kettlebell program. That's not to mention the improvement of other intangibles - such as broad-movement skills, breathing efficiency, and overall durability. I know these may appear as being bold statements, but I have first hand experience in seeing the benefits. My goal is to make this the most comprehensive article available on the internet on the topic of kettlebell training for lacrosse athletes. You won't find much on this topic, until now. If you're a lacrosse athlete, parent, coach or anyone who works with lacrosse athletes, you can't afford to miss out on this information, especially if you want to stay ahead in today's game.
10 Jul The 3 Essential Kettlebell Workouts

23 May Why Train With Kettlebells?
I’ve had some interesting conversations with friends and athletes recently about the importance of strength training. The conversations have basically been like this.“Hey Scott, I want to work on strength, what do I need to do? Tell me what really works?”
For example, I was just talking with my friend Adam. Adam is a Jujitsu athlete and he was looking for a strength solution to compliment his jujitsu training. He wanted to address the “strength gap” that he said he wasn’t getting with his current training and was feeling a little lost about what to do. I couldn’t help but think... No matter who you are or what your goals are, strength will make you better. Of course, there are many variables and factors that will depend on the type and level of strength you need. We’ll have to turf that conversation for later though. While most people are beginning to understand the importance of strength in optimizing health and maximizing performance, there are still many who haven’t quite figured out or discovered the importance of foundational strength or what that means. What is foundational strength?

Kettlebell training could be considered revolutionary. I say this because it's such a simple training tool that offers so many training benefits for the vast majority.

It's important to remember that you can use kettlebells for many different goals.
