When Coach has the glasses on you know it’s going to be a good day! 😂
In-service with our summer interns today discussing how to develop energy systems for sports and positions.
One of the biggest mistakes in conditioning is relying on mindless fitness that leaves athletes living in “no man’s land”, training that’s too hard to recover from but not specific enough to create meaningful adaptations.
To build conditioning that actually transfers to performance, we must first understand the demands of the sport and position. From there, we can strategically train either below the demands to build the aerobic foundation needed for recovery, or above the demands to improve high-intensity work capacity and power output. We usually don’t live in the middle unless the sport requires it.
The goal isn’t to get tired. The goal is to create adaptations that help athletes perform better when it matters most. Train with intent. Train for the demands of the game. ⚡️
