The In-Season Training for Athletes Webinar provides principles and best practices for effectively training athletes during their season. It emphasizes that in-season training should prioritize performance, focusing on explosive movements and avoiding unnecessary muscle fatigue/soreness. Key principles include recognizing that athletes are not lifters and need sport-specific training, with exercises chosen to enhance performance rather than just building muscle. Mistakes in in-season training include doing excessive volume, using inappropriate methods, and training too frequently, which can impair recovery and performance. Best practices include targeting capacities not covered in sport-specific training, sticking to familiar exercises to reduce recovery time, and following the “Rule of 1/3” to maintain muscle and strength with minimal volume.

The knowledge in this presentation is crucial for Strength coaches as it equips them with strategies to maintain athletes’ performance during the season without overloading them. It helps coaches tailor programs that preserve athletic conditioning, prevent injuries, and enhance overall performance with efficient training.
