Your core’s job is to resist movement (anti-rotation, anti-extension) to protect your spine and transfer power from your legs to your arms.

In coaching legend Michael Boyle breaks down how to build an athlete that is actually functional on the field, court, or ice. It’s not about how much you bench—it’s about how that strength translates to speed, power, and injury resilience. Key Takeaways to Transform Your Game:

Move from foundational stability to explosive plyometrics and Olympic lift variations to develop that "game-breaking" speed. Ready to rebuild your program? Assess: Use functional screens to find your weak links. Prep: Focus on foam rolling and dynamic warm-ups.

Success starts with mobile ankles, stable knees, and mobile hips. If one link breaks, the whole chain fails.

Most sports are played on one leg at a time. If you aren't doing single-leg squats and deadlifts, you're missing the "functional" piece of the puzzle.

Train multi-planar movements (squat, lunge, hinge, push, pull, and carry). Don't just get big. Get athletic . 🏃💨
