Every August, same three mistakes — and it's typically not the athlete's fault.
1️⃣ Conditioning by exhaustion. Running kids into the ground doesn't build speed, it builds fatigue and pulled hamstrings. Fast athletes are trained fresh, in short bursts, with real rest.
2️⃣ Skipping the strength base. More reps on an unprepared body isn't "toughness" — it's an overuse injury waiting to happen. Strength is built before the season, then maintained… not maxed in week one.
3️⃣ Treating the warm-up like a formality. A lap and a few static stretches don't prepare anyone to sprint, cut, and decelerate — the exact moments athletes get hurt. Dynamic prep + smart load + sleep beat any brace.
None of this means your coaches are bad — most were handed the old playbook. But the athletes who train smart in August are the ones still standing in October.
