Tough love note to our serious high school athletes 👇
You need to view strength training as your second sport if you:
A) Want to succeed at the next level
B) Want to stay on the field/court
Yes, you have a busy schedule. No one is denying that. But if it truly matters to you, you can find a way.
All you need is two days in the gym and 30 to 45 minutes to maintain your strength, stay healthy, and perform at your best.
This is the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to injury prevention.
There are a lot of “injury prevention programs” out there, especially for athletes after ACL surgery. Most of them fall far short of actually mitigating injury risk. Ten-minute warm-ups with band exercises and plyometrics are not moving the needle.
If you plan on playing in college someday, in-season training is going to be non-negotiable. Every sport and every program at all levels will incorporate this into their program.
And if you think you don’t have time now, just wait till then.
Local athletes - DM me “strong” if you want a strength plan that fits your schedule.
