In Season Training Cheat Sheet

A practical, multi-sport guide designed for coaches and athletes to maintain strength, power, and performance while minimizing injury and fatigue throughout the competitive season.

Key Highlights:

• Core Philosophy & Priorities: Prioritizes injury prevention and game readiness over size and strength gains, keeping lifting sessions short, intense, and low-volume.
• Scheduling Matrix: Breaks down weekly training frequencies (1x to 3x/week) and provides sample weekly schedules for both one-game and two-game week structures.
• Safety & Power Guidelines: Emphasizes technique, provides safety protocols (including neck training for contact sports), and balances force maintenance with sport-specific power generated during practice.
• Targeted Conditioning: Features a roster management matrix to tailor supplemental conditioning specifically for high-minute starters vs. reserve/backup athletes
