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.
