Q: How can calorie intake influence performance?
A: Body size is directly affected by calorie intake. Calories indirectly affects performance via their influence on bodysize

Depending on your sport, your body needs to be within some margin of size for best performance!

Example: if you are the best baseball player at 200 lbs buy only eat enough calories to support a body weight of 170 lbs your diet cannot support your best baseball performance!

Therefore working on your diet and performance both need adjustments to your prioritized goal!

Optimal macronutrients amounts might change across trainingphases in a specific sport!

Being on a hypocaloric diet while training in a specific sportmight require some trade-offs in performance for diet progressand vise versa! Depending on your goals.

Injuries are a frustrating time for obvious reasons, but if you think that an injury means you must stop training, think again!

If for example you have a fracture in your left arm, you can certainly continue to exercise in the gym. It is important is to perform unilateral (one sided) weight training on the opposite (uninjured) side. Resistance training is a powerful stimulus for neuromuscular adaptation. These adaptations are not limited to the working muscle and have in fact been shown to result in increased strength and neural drive in a contralateral, resting muscle, resulting in the term Cross-Education Training.

People often neglect training all together while injured, this leads to loss of muscle mass and a longer recovery of the broken bone. Research has shown that cross-education training and correctly tailored exercise has not only been shown to strengthen the uninvolved side but maintain strength and sometimes even muscle mass in the injured limb. You can increase the strength of an untrained limb by up to 10% by training the opposite limb, even if the first limb is immobilized. Of course, you’ll make greater gains on the side you train but some of those benefits will transfer to the immobilized or injured limb. Gains on the untrained side will be about half those of the trained side but that’s not bad when you’re not able to train!

Here are a few reasons whv in-
season training is an absolute must for any athlete looking to
play at a high level when it matters most.
Basically, if you don't use it, you lose it. The idea "you train
during the offseason, you play during the season" is
antiquated and counterproductive to high performance. The
most successful athletes I've ever personally worked with or
witnessed make in-season training a staple. This allows for a
steady increase of performance to occur over the long-term
and helps them put their best foot forward during the biggest
competitions of their calendar year.
If an athlete discontinues training and only participates in
sport-related practices, they are no longer providing the
catalyst that creates lasting changes in the body that will allow
them to be more structurally resilient and stronger in the
coming weeks. Over time, you will see a deterioration in tissue
strength while common aches and pains begin to emerge
during the middle and end of the season. This is ideally when
performance should be peaking, but the opposite is in fact
occurring.
Bottomline is that when we cease strength training, the fascial
sheath which serves as a protective barrier will diminish to a
degree, leaving the muscle more predisposed to damage.
Muscle damage, when chronic enough, can lead to eventual
injury. This is yet another reason why athletes should partake
in strength training during sport in-season to offer themselves
more insurance against potential injury.

Have your seen any of these faces before? Over the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to work with dozens of professional athletes in a variety of sports. The main sports I’ve worked with have been football, basketball and baseball, but I’ve also worked with soccer, hockey, nascar, and swimming.

What has been my favorite part about working with pro athletes? Besides watching them excel during their season it would be programming their workouts! Knowing the exact time to do certain workouts and with the correct intensity is very hard to master. Programming is something I have a keen approach to no matter if it is for a pro athlete or for a youth athlete that it just starting out.

Do I miss working with just pro athletes? Yes and No.
Yes, I miss talking to them about their season, helping them set their goals, and I miss designing their programs. No, because I was never apart of their journey until later in their athletic lives, I enjoy training youth athletes more because you get to see them grow into a great athlete.

Who is the strongest? Denico Autry (Tennessee Titans) Bench Pressed 225lbs 20 times in a row

Who is the fastest athlete? Tony Washington (WR from App State) 4.55s 40yrd dash

Who had the best vertical? Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns) 35”

Here we have Jefferson performing RDL Sprints. RDL Sprints help with Rhythm, Quality Forward Leg Drive and Body Angle.

The leg swing creates a forward drive which is key in acceleration.
