Sport Specific Training Preparation

Prepare your body for sport specific training with the foundation of strength, flexibility and sports nutrition. If you don't have this preparation, you won't be very good in your sport!



Promotion of plyometrics and sport specific exercises has gotten out of hand. Don't get me wrong, plyometrics and sport specific exercises are important but only if you have enough strength and joint stability to make these more risky exercises work effectively for you.

I'm seeing more and more young athletes with weak bodies trying to start a program of intense plyometrics. Many of them come to me with injuries they have gotten from group training classes in plyometrics.

A proper sports training system would go something like this:

1. Overall strength training (including core training) to stabilize joints, build muscle, correct postural problems, improve flexibility and implement nutrition program.

2. Progress to power exercises, speed exercises, plyometric exercises and sport specific exercises when your body is ready.

Don't skip to step #2 without adequately doing step #1 or injuries will surely follow!
