About Coach Byrne and his Foundation Strength program
Coach Jack Byrne has 25 years of coaching experience, including six years as the Head Football Coach at Windham H.S. in New Hampshire from 2019-2024. His Windham Jaguar teams went to the Division I playoffs three times, while competing against much larger schools. A critical component in the development of his players and success of his teams was the Foundation Strength program.
Foundation Strength is a simple, standards-based strength training system designed specifically for high school football coaches and players — especially at small schools and underdog programs.
The system focuses on simple, repeatable workouts and clear varsity strength standards that work in real high-school weight rooms, not idealized training environments. Unlike more complicated programs built for large staffs and advanced facilities, the Foundation Strength program was designed specifically for smaller schools.
A Simpler Training System Built for Small Schools, Underdog Programs, and Overworked Coaches
Foundation Strength gives coaches a practical, structured path to help athletes build strength, confidence, and leadership. The system is built for real conditions: limited weight room time mixed experience levels minimal equipment heavy schedule demands Foundation Strength helps coaches: establish consistent strength benchmarks across positions reduce guesswork in programming build harder-working, more resilient football player
Foundation Strength gives overworked coaches a clear, adaptable training system built for real-world constraints — so you can stop overthinking, coach with confidence, and win more often.
