The Essence of Sport Performance
To excel in sports, athletes must focus on mastering the fluid nature of their specific sport, rather than solely on physical training. While strength training is a component, its importance often diminishes compared to the skills required for actual gameplay. Hence, the priority should be on maintaining existing fitness levels while selectively improving areas that can enhance performance. A strategic approach allows athletes to hone in on essential skills rather than be overwhelmed by the desire to improve everything simultaneously.
