50 Cent's Trainer Talks Fitness with Fast Youth Athlete

1) Hi Jay. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this interview. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you were introduced to strength training? I am a Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach, as well as a Nutritionist. I have coaching since 1996-we're I started off as a Volunteer Assistant Track and Field Coach at Montclair State University. I began coaching after suffering a career-ending spinal injury, which occurred while I was competing as a Long Jumper at the University of Arkansas. 2) A lot of people know you as 50 Cent’s trainer and believe that he is able to stay in shape because he constantly has you around. I believe it still is the will of the person. What are your thoughts? It is fear and lack of self-confidence that usually keeps an individual from achieving any sort of success.

Four Games Left: A Coach’s Story I have to thank my youngest son Micah for helping me to decide what I would write about this week. It is something that helps me to relate to our athletes. Many athletes on this journey of football run into difficult patches. It may be that they are not getting much playing time, are injured, team is losing, or they are not getting recruited.

The answer is to become hopeful, ask your coach questions, continue to practice with tremendous effort, and never lose heart. This is my story and I hope it helps another athlete stay encouraged for the next chapter of their life. My story begins in beautiful Miramar, FL where the best football team ever assembled resided.

Is the weight room helping or hurting you during the season? 1    1.    Manage outside stressors The body does not know the difference between a weight, practice, long night of studying, or lack of nutrition. It just knows that the body is stressed and adjustments need to be made. We believe in holding our athletes accountable for their lives outside the field or weight room. Our sheet holds the athletes accountable for sleeping 8 hours a night, eating for performance, managing stressors, stretching, and staying hydrated. Feel free to email us to receive a copy of our M.A.P (Mental Advantage Plan) regeneration sheet. 2   2.  Program Design We structure weight room with activity that will not add soreness to the athlete. We do not change the exercises around during the in season, so the body will not get sore while being introduced to a new stimulus. We do not load the back as much during the season as many athletes compress the spine during collisions in the game. We p
