Shut Down & Maximize Your Off-Season Ep: 18-10
One of the most important questions in sport today –
What to do over your off season?
The off season for me is one of the most important periods in an athlete’s annual plan. This is where you train the athlete to be a more coachable player.
4 Phases of Annual Planning (a cycle of athlete & player management)
➡︎ Off season
➡︎ Pre-Season
➡︎ In-Season
➡︎ Post-Season
Remember ALL programmed work MUST be built around our #1 Priority for program planning – REST & RECOVERY.
And when it comes to an athlete’s daily performance, Sleep Rules All!!!!
When you are planning an athlete’s workload and recovery there are 4 factors you need to consider:
1️⃣ VOLUME – the how much
2️⃣ INTENSITY – the how hard
3️⃣ FREQUENCY – the how often
4️⃣ MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY– the how much stress/damage
Bottom line, take advantage of ANY downtime you can get!
As you head into your off-season ask yourself what is the benefit to year-round sport?
It takes time to master a sport and there are no truer words than
MORE IS NOT BETTER when you’re Creating Coachable Players.
