One of the most underrated things you can build during the summer… is connection. Not just between players. Between: - players - coaches - parents - and the program itself. This install is simple—but it can completely change the feel of your summer. Install #3 — Taco Thursday + The 4-for-4 Club Every Thursday after your workout: Feed the team. Maybe it’s soft tacos.Maybe it’s biscuits.Pancakes. Donuts. Chick-fil-A. Let parents have the freedom to change it up and own it. Just make sure of one thing: There’s more than enough. Because the truth is… Some kids, sadly, never see “more than enough” very often. And a full table after a hard workout can mean more than most coaches realize. How it works Have parents rotate bringing food each week. Players who hit your weekly attendance standard: - get recognized - first in line - part of the “perfect attendance” group that week Then raise the stakes even more. At the end of each month: Players who go 4-for-4 (perfect attendance for the entire month) earn: - paintball - bowling - team activity - off-campus event Something different.Something they’ll talk about. Why it works - Gives players something weekly to look forward to - Creates consistency instead of random attendance - Gets parents involved in the culture - Builds momentum throughout the summer And most importantly… It gives players a reason to show up even on the days they don’t feel like it. Important Don’t just post a workout schedule and hope they come. Give the summer: - identity - energy - rewards - traditions That’s what players remember. Additional thoughts - Create a “4-for-4 Club” board in the weight room - Track weekly perfect attendance publicly - Make Thursdays feel different from every other workout day - As always: take pictures, post them, and celebrate it publicly Players love being part of something that feels alive. Now players aren’t just surviving summer workouts. They’re trying to be part of something.

Coaches, My name is Aaron Wells. I’ve spent the last 31 years on your side of things—serving as a Head Coach, assistant coach (Offensive Coordinator) and assistant strength coach at Nixa High School Nixa Mo for (15 yrs), and currently coaching football/assistant strength coach at Logan-Rogersville, Mo. I’m now a Sales Consultant for Gym Depot as well. I have been a member of Randy's Coaches Mastermind Group and a member of Fast and Wide. I understand what it’s like trying to build a program with limited time, tight budgets, and equipment that doesn’t always match your vision for your athletes. That’s why I wanted to introduce myself as a resource, not just a vendor. At Gym Depot, we help high school programs with: - Weight room design and upgrades tailored to your space and sport demands - Quality equipment solutions that fit within school budgets - Guidance through purchasing processes, including timing around funding and approvals My goal is simple—help you create a weight room that matches the standard you’re trying to build for your athletes. If you ever need a second opinion on your current setup, pricing, or just want to talk through ideas, or need something replaced, I’d be glad to help. No pressure, just coach-to-coach conversation. If you are out of state, no worries I got you too. I can schedule a visit to your school, or we can first discuss w a Zoom meeting to discuss needs and then set up an in person visit, Please see the attached flyer of just a few things we have to offer, and we have plenty more options.
