Youth Training Programs

Attached are your protocols for next week – please review each day carefully and let me know if you have any questions or need anything clarified. 

Consistency is the Key to Success

As you approach each day, pay close attention to both the intensity levels as well as the duration levels.  Each daily workout has been created in relationship to the overall physical adaptations we are looking for by the end of the week.  If for whatever reason you are not able to complete the workout as indicated on your schedule, simply let it go – please do not move the workout to the next day, this will cross that fine line of overtraining because the overall volume will be too much for that given day. 

By being consistent with your training and eating from week to week, month to month, if your personal or profession schedule causes you to miss a workout, it is no big deal – remember, consistency is your best friend when it comes to human performance.  The most important factor to evaluate when you miss a workout is the cause of missing the workout – was it a situation that you could have avoided?  If not, let it go.  If it was a result of poor planning on your part, make arrangements to not allow this to happen again. 

Please keep in mind, most missed goals are not a lack of effort, but rather an attempt to squeeze too much into a block of time that is not sufficient.  Think about it this way, most individuals want to eat healthy, they simply don’t have the time to purchase, prep and consume healthy food – exercise falls into the same trap. 

Remember to plan ahead so that you have the time to Work Smart, Not Hard and Avoid Overtraining!

Yours in sport & health,

Thought for the week:

“To overcome your limitations, take one step into the darkness.  If it’s a mistake, step back.  If it is not a mistake, step again.  Only with this strategy can you increase your knowledge & experience.”
