In this video we discuss the necessary steps it takes to optimize athletic development and "build an athlete".
Key points discussed are:
- The importance of practicing your sport skills and practicing with intent
- Taking the necessary steps to stay healthy in a strength & conditioning program
- Understanding the process of long-term adaptations in athletics
- The application of the speed-strength continuum, it's importance in programming and identifying where athletes fall within the continuum
This presentation is geared towards power-speed athletes who thrive on the development of speed and strength qualities. Power-speed athletes participate in sports such as football, hockey, baseball, basketball, track & field (throwers and sprinters), lacrosse and weightlifters just to mention some of the more common sports.
These considerations are important for enhancing sports performance, identifying the true needs of the athlete and taking the steps to keep them healthy in the process.
