Sherriff's Performance Academy

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT . . Hi , my names Mike (@mike_e23 ). I’m a strength/conditioning coach out of Southern Ontario. I’m personally driven by giving it my best for my clients and operating with honesty and integrity. Here’s why I chose Sherriff Academy. .... Why did I hire Sherriff academy? . Skill mastery in weightlifting and bodyweight movements. A progressive program tailored to my individuals goals of building on my physical and cardiovascular capacities. . What barriers has Jesse helped me overcome? Education - Programming the right amount of stimulus that I can recover from while allowing me to progress in the above stated skills. (Remember potential client : All external stressors are factored into how he programs for you) Accountability- Staying true to everything that’s programmed . That extra rep and set you wouldn’t have done on your own could have massive compound interest over a 6-12 month period. . Why change coaches? Over the last 7 years , I’ve worked extensively with coaches that specialized in different skill sets . Weightlifting and functional fitness is why I chose Jesse. . How have I personally benefitted? While there is nothing wrong with wanting an outcome like snatching 315lbs , I’ve personally benefitted by being focused on getting the best I can at the skills we practice and in return I have exponentially improved at everything I’ve hired him for! - 2020 has been an extremely trying time for every single one of you . And for most , mental and physical health has taken a total back-seat. Jesse has helped me stay objective with my goals and if you’re reading this wanting more structure , motivation and education. Then don’t wait . Reach out to him. Jesse responded promptly and professionally. Come join the team . See more

THROWBACK . . Today I started shadowing @communityathletics and it brought up a lot of memories. .... I’ve been at this fitness coaching thing for a decade but I’m good with starting at the bottom and working up within a new community. . . The last time I shadowed a class was 2013. Swipe to see that kid. Good lord. I say this a lot but that kid had no idea what fitness was going to bring to his life. I’m grateful for it all and I’m excited to bring what I’ve learned over the years to a new community as I continue to learn. . . Just adding to the list of current coaching roles: Owner and Head Coach @sherriffacademy Partner and Coach @westlondoncrossfit Director of @ontario_functional_fitness Board Member @bcfunctionalfitness Athlete Committee @canadian_functional_fitness Program Design @wodprep .

The most important day of the year is October 2nd. . It is my moms birthday! . She has always been my number 1 fan. She taught me toughness and resilience as well as kindness and love. She’s worn a lot of hats over the years and @lexicharlotte and I could not be more grateful for her. ... . If you wanna know how happy she is to be a grandma just check out those smiles! See more

AWARENESS . This is a step that in my novice years of coaching I would always jump over by making an assumption that the athlete I was coaching knew what the skill was. . Before you hop up on the rings to try a muscle up, attempt double unders, or tip yourself upside down against the wall to do a HSPU, it is paramount that you get an idea of exactly what you are trying to perform.... . When does the movement begin and end? What body parts are supposed to move where? Where is your grip? How long should it take? How long should the rope be? How tall should the bar be? Where do my hands go on the ground? Are there best practices? What are the common faults? Am I strong enough to do this?. . Here is a checklist: What are the Points of Performance? What are the movement standards for the sport? What shapes need to be expressed? . Next week, we talk about the ability to produce the desired or intended result EFFICACY! . . #crossfit #skills #wednesday #humpdayvibes #fitness #sportoffitness #sport #gymnastics #crossfitgames #trainyourweakness #training #trainsmart #dontjustscaleit See more

PART 1 . . GYMNASTICS FOR THE SPORT OF FITNESS .... Feeling like you are spinning your tires when it comes to your skill development? . Are you finding it impossible to progress your skills? . Are you tired of being told to scale to ring rows or push-ups week after week? . Are you frustrated with an apparent lack of progression? . When things get scattered and chaotic, create a system. . If you swipe right, you will see the 8 steps that I have found to be the most successful in creating a direct, repeatable, and effective progression in skill development in the sport of fitness. . Over the next few weeks I will be explaining each of these steps in detail. . My goal with this series is simple- Create a path forward that will help all levels. . . #gymnastics #muscleup #handstand #pullups #toestobar #stopscalingstarttraining #fitness #crossfit #sportoffitness #exercisefast #trainyourweakness #bebetter See more
