Don't Make this Mistake with Your Athlete

It is obvious that your athlete MUST train off season to improve their speed, agility, quickness.  Too often- athletes think their strength training  and S.A.Q. training is over as soon as their sport comes into season.  So, what should your athlete do during season?

Should your athlete lift?

Should your athlete train for speed, agility, and quickness?

If so, how often?

The answer is Simple.  Absolutely!  Your athlete should lift and train for S.A.Q. if they want to continually improve!  You see, your body adapts to the environment in which it is placed.  Strength training and S.A.Q. create a dynamic enviroment that not only maintains strength and speed... but improves it!

Now, the regularity of strength training and S.A.Q. is of concern.  You don't want you athlete to over-train.  Over training is when the muscle tissue isn't totally recovered upon starting another workout regimen.  Over-training causes micro-trauma to the muscle tissue.  Which over time, it can contribute to muscle strains and tears.

I recommend your athlete train with weights 1 x per week "on-season".  S.A.Q. workouts should be short and infrequent "on-season" as well.  S.A.Q. workouts should be limited to 1.5 x per week.  A session shouldn't last longer than 45 min "on-season."
