In Episode 22 of New Wave Certified, John Larkin dives into the real work that happens when the lights go out — the off-season grind. He breaks down how to build your blueprint for success, from creating structured plans to setting goals that actually lead to results.

John highlights the current leaders in New Wave’s In-Season and Out-of Season programs and what they’re doing to separate themselves from the pack. He also covers how athletes across football, soccer, track and field, and baseball can tailor their training for long-term growth.

To close it out, John shares advice on communicating with your coaches, staying accountable, and keeping your mindset locked in on your goals. This episode is all about setting the tone for a winning off-season — because the best don’t wait for next season to get better.
