One of the most important questions in sport today,

What to do over your off season?

The off season for me is one of the most important periods in an athlete’s annual plan.

This is where you train the athlete to be a more coachable player.

Annual Planning, it’s a cycle of Athlete & Player management that can be broken down into 4 phases:

· Off season

· Pre-Season

· In-Season

· Post-Season

Remember all programmed work MUST be built around our #1 Priority for program planning, Rest & Recovery.

And when it comes to an athlete’s daily performance, Sleep Rules all!!!!

When you are planning an athlete’s workload & recovery there are 4 factors you need to consider:

· Volume – the how much

· Intensity – the how hard

· Frequency – the how often

· Movement Efficiency – the how much stress/damage

Bottom line, take advantage of any downtime you can get!

As you head into your off-season ask yourself What is the benefit to year-round sport?

It takes time to master a sport and there are no truer words than MORE IS NOT BETTER when you’re Creating Coachable Players
