What seems to be emerging more and more for me as I gain experience coaching and I watch and evaluate training everywhere I go is that so much of what is done is “mindless.” It is just work, the athletes seem to just go through the motions, they are not engaged. I really think that is why a balanced approach to training that created athletes that are adaptable is the way to go. If I just sprint or I just spend time in the weight room then I will become adapted to those environments and fully adaptable to the demands of the competition that I am preparing them for. Folks we need to challenge the athletes mentally and physically to get better. You can’t just do workouts, you must be in the workout to give yourself a chance to achieve excellence.
