What does it mean to "train with intent?"

Bobby Impson owns and operates Intent Sports Performance. He works with individuals and teams for sport specific training. I met Bobby when he was a coach at a local gym where I was also teaching yoga. I witnessed Bobby's expertise first hand watching him train young athletes. 

In this episode we dive into what it mean to train with intent and why is it important. 

Bobby also shares with us how Intent Sports Performance came to be and what his path has looked like so far.  From ending his professional athletic career as a ruby player, to finding himself OFF purpose and then what it took to come back to himself and his purpose. 

This episode is full of helpful nuggets like:

Why is adaptation so important.

Why who you surround yourself is paramount for success.

What makes traditional bodybuilding different from sports performance training.

How  the nervous system impacts your performance and overall life.

How your habits make up your life.

The importance of sleep and recovery.

One of my favorite quotes from the podcast: "It's not about how hard or how long you go in your training. It's how fast you can you recover?"
