Tight Lines Training

Had the chance to jump on the podcast to talk about training for BMX Freestyle and my time working with the team. We covered what actually moved the needle, what didn’t, and how I think about balancing strength, power, and on-bike demands in a sport that never really has an off-season. I also shared what I learned the hard way and where I think performance prep for freestyle needs to evolve next.

If you work in action sports or coach athletes in year-round competition cycles, this one’s for you 🎙️🚲 Let me know what stood out or what you’re seeing in your own program.

Mark your calendars because the new schedule is out! I mean that literally, because none of my athletes ever put it in their calendars when they’re going to compete.🤦‍♂️

The schedule looks good, and I look forward to helping , , and get ready for them.

I just finished reading the book Notational Analysis of Sport (Second Edition), edited by Mike Hughes and Ian M. Franks. It is a great book if you really want to nerd out on how to analyze sports that seem as if the judging can't be cracked.

This book really made me think in a lot more detail about:
1. Runs and what specifically to look for
2. What the judges say they judge on
3. How to create spreadsheets comparing different run metrics and final scores to understand what is actually being judged

I made a short little info chart to describe each chapter and help people understand it a little bit more. If you have any questions about it, just shoot me a message!

Posting a quick redirect for anyone who found me here from the podcast or a share. My main work lives on LinkedIn, and that’s where I post the sports science and performance breakdowns for BMX and other lifestyle sports. If you want the deeper stuff (testing, monitoring, KPIs, training decisions), head to LinkedIn and get caught up: brianroybmxfreestyle actionsports
