As an athlete you need to avoid the trends of the world. The training and fitness industry is filled with trends and gimmicks that are developed to raise a buck. As an athlete, you need to be aware of this.
No matter how far you go or what level you reach in your career, it is going to end before you want it to. Your training needs to be geared to help you reach your athletic goals, not help someone raise a buck.
As an athlete your training program is designed to develop specific attributes to improve your performance and decrease your risk of injury. Your program needs to work on your specific movements, planes of motion you use during competition, proper anaerobic conditioning, etc. Your program needs to be developed specificially for athletes, for you.
Without naming any names, beaware of programs that aren’t athletic specific. If you attend a class at your local gym that is filled with non-athletes, it should raise a red flag for you. There is not a program that is ‘one-size fits all.’ Attend classes that are are time-tested, results proven, athlete driven, etc. Your career will thank you in the end!
