Professional athletes still lift several times a wk during their season. Even with games, travel, and practices, they keep strength training in the routine. Why? Because strength training isn’t “extra.” It’s how they stay healthy, fast, and confident when the season gets tough

What in season training at any level actually does… • Helps prevent injuries • Maintains speed and power • Keeps muscles strong even when practices get lighter • Supports recovery so athletes feel better, not worse

Most players in the NBA and MLB train directly after a game or on off days. NFL players, we have them do a heavy leg day the day after a game, then finish the week with upper, full body, upper, and 1-2 days of recovery before their next game.

Your child doesn’t need a pro‑level schedule but the principle is the same: Practices build skills. Strength training builds the body that can handle the skills. It’s not “extra.” It’s part of being an athlete.

What in season training doesn’t do… • It doesn’t “wear them out” • It doesn’t interfere with practice • It doesn’t make them bulky or slow

Your season just ended… so now what? (And no, not go to Disney World.) You reset. You reload. You rise. Not the loud work. The quiet, gritty, nobody’s watching work. You build strength! You sharpen skills!! You chase the version of yourself you wanted to be all season!!!

Talent can mask an issue for a little bit, but it can’t solve it. Only work and honesty do that. I have seen far to often athletes that rely on athleticism only and not work get passed by.

Creating the right habits early sets the foundation for everything that comes next. As an athlete, the goal isn’t just to get bigger it’s to get bigger, FASTER, and stronger. That’s the real trifecta.

If all you’re doing is lifting to get big and strong, you’re only checking two boxes. Speed, power, and movement quality are what separate athletes from lifters. Build all three, and you build a complete athlete.

Athletes aren’t born knowing how to push through discomfort, stay consistent, or show up when it’s inconvenient. They learn it from training, from structure, from coaching, from modeling, from accountability, from being held to a standard higher than “try hard”.

Congratulations, Chris! You’re headed to the Super Bowl! Who would have thought that when you came in for combine training three years ago, you’d be playing in the Super Bowl? Great job! I’m proud of you. Thank you for trusting me to be your trainer.

As a trainer, you never know who you get to have an impact on or will impact your life. They don’t make many like Chris. One of the best I’ve ever trained. Go finish the dream and make it real.
