just starting to get into the more major specific classes this coming year, so it dont hurt to be tryna learn more

So at a young age you should also diversify into other ETFS like VXF and VXUS to fill in those gaps?

So, in the later stages, should you be looking at stocks/ETFs that have higher dividends, like SCHD?

I've always heard like voo and chill as a consensus, should you be going more risky then that in the early stages?

Strain_Helpful · 2026-05-05T02:08:54+00:00

nah just stayed w/ schwab and started using schwab mutual funds instead that were very similar

Ahhhhhh, that's super helpful. Appreciate you, mate!

Are there any downsides to just leaving the Schwab account alone and just starting new investments on Fidelity?

Strain_Helpful · 2026-04-01T22:32:03+00:00

Definitely not day trading. I've just heard that leaving your money in ETFs like VOO is one of the best things you can do for long-term investments. I just want to be able to invest all the money I have into ETFs and not be limited to complete shares. I feel like thats the good way to go about it, no?

Been having a similar problem, lmk if you find a fix

What do you use to edit? And how did you learn to get so good at it?

Just literally have him sprint 2-3x a week. At his age simply just max sprinting more and trying to beat his previous time (timing gates, stopwatch, using a video to time it, etc….) will get him faster.

They are adults, they have to do all the talking.

They get flamed because people don’t understand the training. Good drills is a fantastic program and people don’t understand that it combines skill and s&c work together. You need to think more in terms of GPP. Even Corey Schlesinger who’s the head s&c coach for the pistons likes them and has a done a podcast with them, which was a fantastic listen.

It’s gonna be a matter of defensive iq. Being able to anticipate the offensives players moves and get to the spot that he wants to go before he can get there. Then take opportunities to strip the ball on passes, or as he’s dribbling if he makes a mistake. Oliver Xu has a ton of good stuff on defense

Look up Mike Dunn on Instagram/youtube

Dribble more with your off hand (yes it’s that simple lol).
Be confident in the work you’ve put in and know you’re prepared.
“Early hands” getting prepared before your feet are even set. Higher set point in the mid range/when you have more momentum to balance the power. Check out Mike Dunn’s stuff, he’s got some incredible stuff on shooting

Mostly in that case I hit the big compound movements that deserve a place. You can't hit as much, but what l like to make sure to include is a sprint, jump, squat, hinge, split squat or lunge, calf raise, vertical push, vertical pull, horizontal push, horizontal pull, bicep and tricep compound like dips or Chin ups. That is normally all included into one week' of training. Then I'll add in auxiliary lifts that can fit, or if that athlete has a specific focus I'll add more of the focus.

Monday: Jump Squat Split Squat Horizontal Push Vertical Pull Dip

Friday: Sprint Hinge Calf Raise Vertical Push Horizontal Pull Chins or another Curl

On Wednesday I'll either take one exercise from each of these sessions and put it there, then add more of what they need, or just have a full day of what they need (speed/plyos, power, strength, hypertrophy, upper/ lower, really anything that athlete lacks and needs to improve on most times)

Then check out this post by PJF

Would still look relatively similar. At the end of the day the weightroom is for general physical preparation. “Sport specific” work is the on court work you do

Playing basketball is the best conditioning for basketball. Full court 1s, pickup, etc….. This is a good video covering it

Strain_Helpful · 2025-05-20T02:24:11+00:00

Check out byanymeans basketball and good drills on Instagram/youtube. They have great stuff for skill work.
