Most athletes assume that if they're working hard, they're getting better.

But that's not always true.

In this episode, I break down the story of a football athlete who spent nearly two years training hard but saw very little improvement in his speed.

When he came to us, we discovered the problem wasn't effort.

It was direction.

We discuss:

* Why hard work alone doesn't guarantee results
* The biggest mistake athletes make when trying to get faster
* What was actually holding this athlete back
* How we identified the issue
* The changes we made
* How he improved from a 4.81 to a 4.56 forty-yard dash

If you're an athlete, parent, or coach, this episode will change the way you think about performance training.
