Episode notes
Integrate All Training Aspects
- Training should integrate technical, tactical, and physical aspects as interconnected stressors on the body.\n- Avoid compartmentalizing these, as their synergy leads to optimized athletic performance.
Use Microdosing In Training
- Microdose training by spreading exercise variables over multiple short sessions instead of few long sessions.\n- This allows higher intensity training and faster recovery, ideal for busy sports seasons.
Train Around Practice Sessions
- Do speed and power exercises before practice for potentiation to prime the nervous system.\n- Schedule heavier eccentric and accessory work after practice when fatigue allows better recovery.
