Competition season is NOT a reason to stop training.
Sports require two physical qualities:
✅ Strength
✅ Speed
Neither of those qualities are built simply by attending practice.
Practice develops sport skill. Strength training develops the engine that powers those skills.
The athletes who continue training during the season are often the ones who stay healthier, perform better, and continue improving while others plateau.
Keep them in the gym.
