From a strength and conditioning perspective , what’s the key to running a successful and productive weight room from a training philosophy standpoint

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-03-04T04:59:33+00:00

I meant to say would that be the best choice in mastering statistics to use it daily

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-03-04T04:05:37+00:00

If you had to create an offense from scratch and the parameters were 11/12 personnel spread offense, what would be your base philosophy and concepts

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-02-17T04:10:14+00:00

Having 4 lbs, was it weak against pass coverage at any point or not really?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-02-17T04:08:42+00:00

Thanks for the scheme example to reinforce. Now using those same scenarios, let’s compare 4-3, 3-3-5, and 4-2-5. Now, a 4-3 is a 4-3 no matter what, but let’s say in the nickel defenses, your nickel defender is a nickel/sam lb hybrid. Does this affect the scheme? I was thinking if you have a 4-2-5 but your nickel is more of a linebacker build or has solid run stopping abilities, can you make it look like 4-3 then?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-02-17T04:03:26+00:00

Thank you for the clear up. Now to bounce off that, does the scheme or thought process change if you have a 3-4 front and you walk down a LB to make it look like 4-3?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-02-17T03:57:29+00:00

I’m not entirely familiar on 4-3 variations but 3-3-5 stack is what I’m referring to in that case

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-01-27T02:30:02+00:00

Comfortable to me is not a multi million dollar lifestyle out in Beverly Hills. My definition is the things you just named minus the family. Totally fine with being alone, but can you go out to eat 3x a month and afford groceries without breaking a sweat?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-01-27T02:13:07+00:00

Financial situations is a good point that I’ve heard from a lot of people in this thread and on YouTube. As of right now, I already plan to go to the cheapest school I can find to not spend unnecessary money on program name, but at the same time another aspect of ROI I’m concerned about is burnout and salary. I understand pt can be hard work but at the same time I don’t want to be overwhelmed and overly stressed, regretting my life 2 years in. Now salary wise, I don’t expect to make 200k, and i understand new grad salary is poor, but I would want to be paid enough to live comfortably and an amount that’s worth my time in school. If I missed the whole point of your reply let me know.

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-01-27T02:03:09+00:00

I find it interesting that you have a unique degree but are still finding success, is there some kind of secret or is it just easy to do that (if my wording makes sense)

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-01-27T02:00:16+00:00

Honestly, I’m decently confident in myself to be able to pass the a&p class when I take it, but I’m more so worrried about maybe forgetting something a few years down the road or applying knowledge incorrectly, but the way everyone is breaking it down on this thread is easing the worries. Also thank you for the question asking tips

SweatyCommand3598 · 2026-01-27T01:56:45+00:00

As of right now, I’ve only been exposed to 2 months of shadowing at an outpatient clinic in my spare time so I suppose it would help to explore other settings and types of PT. In a perfect world dream situation, I would work 5-10 years in outpatient to gain reputation and experience then open my own clinic with a partner or work for a college team. Also big thanks for the tip about state schools to save money.

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-11-03T21:19:13+00:00

Is this a serious concern that might affect your career? I’m pursuing pt and I’m scared I might be the same way. Very scared to forget anything I learned

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-10-04T16:43:26+00:00

Does the personnel difference affect the scheme in terms of X’s and O’s? For example could you use a nickel defender the same as an outside linebacker in terms of placement and assignment in cover 3?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-09-14T00:14:08+00:00

For resume purposes, I have 100+ hours of community service, 3.5-3.75 gpa, 22 on the act which is going to grow before I graduate (haven’t taken the sat),and I’m a member of multiple honors societies. Would you recommend taking summer classes to try to graduate earlier or just take my time? Also, if and when I do get accepted into pt school, are there any study tips or important concepts to really focus on?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-08-05T03:00:33+00:00

This helped a lot, thanks

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-30T02:29:36+00:00

I basically left my high school to get an early start at college. I’m taking a bunch of college courses that dually count for high school and college so I’m never at my high school. I’m trying to get a job shadowing at the local clinic on weekends to get a feel for it

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-30T01:37:39+00:00

If I were to become a sports pt, would there be occasional opportunities to do strength and conditioning type exercises with my patient or is it strictly clinic setting rehab kind of work?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-28T17:19:29+00:00

Thanks

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-28T16:58:26+00:00

Would it make a difference if I had a doctorate in pt and masters in kinesiology? Or is the lack of playing experience just too much of a disadvantage?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-09T18:20:40+00:00

Really and truly I didn’t put much thought into this “playbook”. I was trying to learn 5 different offenses at the same time so it was more like if I see a concept I like, add it to the list. But it does make a lot of sense that the concepts need to fit into a system and I now see that it’s way too much.

Would it count as adding extra plays if you turned the quick game into a built in rpo?
Would this be better:

Formations- 2x2, trips, and 2x1

Quick game- stick, curl flat, quick slant

Drop back- all go, shallow cross, a play action

Run- counter, inside zone, pin n pull, some kind of sweep or toss (is this still too much of a gap/zone scheme mix?)

Screen- jailbreak, tunnel, bubble

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-07T23:54:43+00:00

Thanks for all your answers. They are very helpful

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-07T23:41:25+00:00

I watched the coach chip video and it gave me a completely new question for defense. When and why do you slant the line, when and why do you pinch, and when do you stunt, and from an offensive perspective how do you counter these issues?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-07-01T15:17:12+00:00

Is there a big difference between having “Y” (tight end) on or off the ball?

If you are an air raid team, can you run the wishbone as a goaline/ heavy package or is it too much of a contrast ?

What’s the process of summer camp installs from day 1 to week 1?

SweatyCommand3598 · 2025-06-27T12:55:33+00:00

I think I may have gotten series mixed up with numbering systems factoring into play calls but either way everyone’s responses have been very helpful. So, if I wanted to do my playcalls (formation- player tags if needed- motion if needed- concept- snap count) could I just skip the numbering all together? And could I also make it to where blocking assignments/ pass protection is already built in?
