How can you train to become a better overall and more explosive athlete? I enjoy doing these 5 things: 1. Diversifying prep work 2. Using repeat contacts + in multiple planes 3. Adding movement into sprint starts 4. Using dynamic effort lifts 5. Working in “reverse.”

Sports do not define you as a person. Athletic failure doesn’t make you a bad person, and athletic success doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. Always remember that you are more than just an athlete!

You don't master the mental game by simply reading books, watching videos, or getting 1-on-1 training. You have to APPLY what you learn on a daily basis and push yourself through difficult situations. Mastery requires action.

Being skilled & weak is suboptimal Being extremely strong but lacking skill is suboptimal Being extremely fast but unable to decelerate & react is suboptimal Point? All of these things matter Train in a way to builds all of them & stop being so one sided

Training sessions are still effective even if you’re not “exhausted,” after Work on not just placing value on something that makes you tired - Movement can improve - Speed output can improve - Power output can improve & frankly, proper rest is often a key to build those things

If you're an athlete, you need to be sprinting. Not just for the speed development, but for the improvement it makes to the CNS. You will be able to react faster, jump higher, and hit harder, simply by sprinting a few times a week with adequate recoveries.
