Quotable Quotes:
Understanding each athlete’s unique character, interests, and mindset is crucial for effective coaching. Tailoring your approach enhances engagement and development

Level Up Your Exercise Selection and Technique with Whatsthatstrap!
Are you looking for ways to coach more effectively while cuing less?
Or getting your clients and athletes into the right position WITHOUT overwhelming them with 35 cues every set?
If so, you need to check out Whatsthatstrap!
What’s That Strap makes specialty cable machine attachments that are specifically designed for rotation and multidirectional movement.
The 3D Strap is amazing for driving separation between the hips and shoulders like you would in tennis, golf, baseball or even basketball, but it can also be used to resist rotation in standard weight room exercises like squats and lunges as well.
And while the 3D Strap is awesome, I also find myself using their chop handles all the time as well. Whether it’s for exercises like chops and lifts, or just using them as a bonus sled dragging attachment, I absolutely love their versatility.
To learn more about Whatsthatstrap or pick up a 3D Strap or chop handles, head over to WhatsThatStrap.com and use the discount code RTS at checkout to get free shipping on all US orders.
I know you’re going to love training with their attachments!
