Things I Include in Every Athlete's Training Session

As I finish up Winter Take Home Workouts and continue to explain my system to my new guys I put this on paper today. These are things that I cover in every session (for the most part) when I put a plan together. Strength

• General
• Injury Prevention (single-leg/arm, corrective, address common injuries suffered in certain sports)

Explosive

• Olympic Lifts
• Jumping
• Bounding
• Agility Drills

Conditioning

• Lifting Circuits
• Running
• Sleds
• Hills

Body Awareness

• Somersaults
• Cartwheels

Mobility/Flexibility

• Pre and Post-Workout (both)
• Despite what the "experts" say, static stretching feels great and works just as well as it did 20 years ago when I played

For the most part, I will address each one of these at least once in every workout. If I do this I am definitely checking all of my boxes and coaches can't complain that I'm not doing something. More importantly, I'm setting the athletes up for success. As a total side note: if we know the actual definition of Conjugate Training we know that this is, in fact, Conjugate Training.
