I feel like most advice around recovery is only scratching the surface of why it’s important. If I had to guess, you’ve heard all the common recommendations (get more sleep, eat healthy, stretch, do cold baths, etc.), but how confident would you be in explaining how each of these things play into your overall performance?

In this episode we get into all the reasons your recovery is so important, then dive into all the nuances around different recovery methods and how to use them.

I believe these should be the key factors guiding our decisions around all strength & conditioning work, individual skill development, and team practices.

We’ll discuss how separating high volume from high intensity produces substantially higher quality, and therefore better development for the athlete. We will also analyze some clips from in the gym, on the basketball court, and on the soccer pitch so we can get a feel for what high intensity and high volume looks like.

In reality, holes in an athlete's game can be highly complex and multi-faceted. In this video I break down a framework for identifying weaknesses, analyzing their root causes, and then correctly prioritizing our training to make the most amount of progress. Remember, we want to work top down in the way we correct weaknesses (from the most relevant to our outcome to the least), but then we must work bottom up in our attempt to fix root causes. Failure to apply one of the two will cause a drastic misapplication of training and provide inefficient progress.
