Athletes end up with too much of the same stressors and not enough of others. Practices, games, extra skill work, extra conditioning - it all lives in a similar threshold, 50-80% submaximal efforts repeated thousands of times per week. The “conditioning” and “skill work” bucket are overflowing.

Higher intensity efforts are rare in sports. So the qualities they create, e.g, strength and speed start to diminish in as little as 7-14 days of being untrained. The “strength” and “speed” buckets are drying up.

The elephant in the room - sports so rarely require max strength and speed outputs, but the moments they do often precede major events like scoring goals, stopping breakaways, and unfortunately injuries.

The takeaway - find a time to fill your strength and speed buckets! Even one session a week goes a long way in keeping performance high and reduces the likelihood of injuries. If you’re being pulled in too many directions with your time reflect, which of those buckets have been filled this week, which have been neglected? Will that one extra skill session or strength session matter more?

It’s that time of year. College, high school and even youth sports coaches cooking up their “conditioning”

Ever year the absurdities get bigger. Tests more outrageous. More time spent on fitness instead of the sport. Overemphasis on fitness test results rather than game performance.

Athletes arrived ready, excited and fresh. Then before the first game they’re tired, beat up, lost enthusiasm. Worst of all, they’re not fitter!

Smart programs treat preseason as a gradual ramping up period with the aim of peaking when it matters - mid season into post season.

Poorly run programs worry about “being ready” for the first game and wind up looking a shell of themselves by week 6.

I’m not sure who this is meant to help or how. But if there are coaches out there that’d like to start a conversation let’s have it, I’d love to help. Parents, if you’re witnessing it, get your kiddo started with us sooner than later and next offseason I promise they’ll be ready no matter what’s thrown at them!

Twitchy, explosive, powerful whatever you want to call it, that’s what we’re chasing. And the means of getting there may differ athlete to athlete. But The end goal is the same - raise the athletic ceiling. Get faster, stronger and more powerful… twitchy

Here’s two real twitchy dudes David and Reece (can hit over 21 MPH sprints) displaying incredible power in their depth jumps.

What are coaching actually talking about when they say “fitness”? And does your training align?

Many coaches impose dreaded fitness tests in preseason where athletes run 70-80% for extended periods yet scratch their heads when those same athletes can’t seem to keep up in the closing stages of games. WHY?

Because the “fitness” they truly want is the ability to sustain high intensity, explosive outputs from start to finish.

These qualities and energy systems complement each other, but only to a point.

An aerobically fit athlete may be able to run 2 miles in 12 minutes but not be able to sprint 90%+ more than 30 minutes into a game. In a team sport setting, we know which matters more…

Conversely athletes that train to sustain explosive actions will be able to make the plays in game AND their aerobic system will enhance through recovery between efforts. It’s a win-win.

If you want to improve fitness the right way, where your training will drive RESULTS THAT MATTER - come to RSP! We’ll get you right.
