In this fourth voiceover episode (and our first paid edition), we dive into why in-season training matters so much—because skipping lifts during the competitive season could cost an athlete a full year of development over high school. We tackle game-day lifting, multi-sport scheduling, and a color-coded approach to keeping kids fresh yet progressing year-round.
Main Takeaways
1. In-Season: It’s More Than Sport-Specific
Key Fix: Short, 25–30 minute sessions (2–4 per week), adjusting volume with a “stoplight” system (Green/Yellow/Red) that I learned from Cody Hughes to prevent overloading on competition weeks.
2. Game Day Training
Key Fix: Low-volume, moderate-to-high load lifts can “prime” muscles and boost mindset. Keep it brief (15–30 mins), focusing on explosive work.
Mindset: If an athlete believes they feel sharper, they usually are.
3. Multi-Sport Athletes
Key Fix: Make in-school sessions the main “home base” for lifts. Before/after-school workouts become extras or skill-specific, reducing injuries and overtraining.
