Plenty of athletes put in extra hours on the court or the field, and many athletes even put time into the weight room in an effort to improve their game. Most athletes, however, don't know how to train to improve sport performance, especially when they're in the thick of the competitive season. Some have even been told that weight training during a competitive season could be detrimental to performance gains. The truth is this: thoughtless training may indeed set you back in your sport; thoughtful, periodized, research-backed training, on the other hand, will only push you faster toward your competitive goals.
Unfortunately, most athletes don't have access to a strength coach that can provide thoughtful instruction or provide a periodized program. That's where this program steps in. This program is designed to increase high-end strength and develop power for athletes during an in-season training phase. It was built based on the experience of working with hundreds of athletes during their competitive seasons, and it's been designed with the hard-charging, high-work-ethic athlete in mind. Get ready to elevate your game!
