Daily Training Tip #641

I’ve said this numerous times before, (like a lot of things!) part of your conditioning program is designed towards preventing injury. It doesn’t matter how well conditioned you are, if you are on the “IR” you aren’t helping your team. Part injury prevention means pushing your body to the extreme, just like you would during competition.

Here’s and easy example; if you are a 100m dash sprinter, you need to make sure your body is pushed to it’s max sprinting speed during practice before a meet. If you’ve only done ‘jogging’ in practice, when the gun goes off, you aren’t ready to go and something negative might happen.

This same example is happens in all sports. Push your body to the extreme so you are ready for all competitions!
