WHAT - WHEN - HOW
WHAT: Welcome to the Coaches Academy, brought to you by Wes Piatt. If you're here, it's because you’ve been invited—already a sign that we see something exceptional in you. Now, let us guide you toward becoming one of the most extraordinary coaches to walk this Earth. Through our self-paced, 5-phase course, complemented by bi-monthly Q&A sessions, we will cultivate a global community of coaches united by the pursuit of doing the right things, for the right people, for the right reasons. So, take a moment to introduce yourself in the chat below, and let’s embark on this sacred journey toward mastering the art of coaching WHEN: Move at your own rhythm, but join us on the second Monday of every month from 10 AM to 11 AM for a live Zoom Question & Answer session. Do not concern yourself with where you stand in the course—each session is open to all questions, from every phase, allowing us to explore the full spectrum of knowledge and growth together. HOW: Progress through each module at your own pace, marking each one complete with the checkmark in the upper-right corner to unlock the next phase. Each step must be taken in sequence to reveal the next level of mastery. Yet, there exists a path less traveled. By embracing an annual membership, you will transcend the usual progression and gain immediate access to all phases of the course. Boom. Wizard level unlocked!

Movement Progression Purpose Guide
What This Is All About As coaches, our job isn’t just to run a workout — it’s to teach. Every movement progression, every drill, every step has a purpose. When we understand and can clearly explain the “why,” we become better teachers, our athletes learn faster, and the class experience improves immediately. This guide is here to help you bridge the gap between running movements and teaching movements. The goal is simple:Know the purpose behind each step, coach it with intention, and help athletes move better, safer, and more confidently. If we can articulate the “why,” we can create real change — rep by rep, class by class. Below is an example of how to run through this with any movement. I encourage you to do the same to all movements you coach. Push Press Progression Progression Purpose "Why" Dip & Hold Ensures the athlete can get into the proper position and allows them to feel what the proper dip position is. Dip/Drive (Slow) Ensures the athlete can maintain the proper position with a reverse of direction at a slow speed. Reinforces that the bar stays on the shoulders through the dip and drive. Dip/Drive (Fast) Ensures the athlete can maintain the proper position with a reverse of direction at full speed. Reinforces that the bar stays on the shoulders through the dip and drive. Push Press with PVC Ensures the athlete can maintain positions and timing with an external object light enough that it won't mask faults. Sumo Deadlift High Pull Progression Progression Purpose "Why" Sumo Deadlift Reinforces mechanics of deadlift with new position of feet and hands. Reinforces that you have to stand before you shrug. Sumo Deadlift and Shrug (Slow) Allows athletes to work on standing before the shrug at a slow speed while maintaining mechanics of the deadlift. Sumo Deadlift and Shrug (Fast) Allows athletes to work on standing before the shrug with more velocity while maintaining mechanics of the deadlift without complexity of the pull.

📚 The Kipping Pull-Up: Technique, Timing, and Transferability
In this video, we break down the kipping pull-up the way it was meant to be taught—through positions, tension, and deliberate practice. No shortcuts, no flailing. Just clean, efficient mechanics you can use immediately in class or in your own training. If you want to coach higher-level gymnastics or finally feel confident teaching the kip swing, this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for. Post questions below, share how you’re applying this in class, and tag me inside the community so we can keep leveling up together. 💪🔥
