Daily Training Tip #553

If you have aspiration to play in pros, then don't train like the pros. Train harder than the pros. A pro has already accomplished a lot of things, you need to catch up! Pay a bigger price, get bigger results!

Daily Training Tip #552

If you become injuried and are expected to miss a portion of time, your dietary needs will probably need to change. When you are training and practicing on a daily basis, you burn a lot of calories. If you stop all of your training, because of your injury, you need to, at a minimum, cut back on the amount of calories that you intake. Intaking more calories than you burn will increase your body fat, which is something you don't need.


However, you can't cut back to much! Don't under eat! By under eating, while injuried, can actually prolong inflammatory response and can slow down your immune function. So don't cut back to much!

Daily Training Tip #551

Testing shows improvement. If you've gone through a series of tests and haven't show improvement, you probably didn't work as hard as you could have during the off-season.

Daily Training Tip #550

There are always a lot of studies going on, on how to improve on first step quickness. All come back with a combination of plyometrics and strength training; something that MHC excels at!

Daily Training Tip #549

In-Season training is just as important as Off-Season training. In-Season training is slightly different than Off-Season training in the fact that the amounts of reps and sets are different. Sometimes the exercises themselves are different. In-Season training has to be scheduled around game times, etc.


However, In-Season training is the same as Off-Season training in the fact that the intensity level is still very high. It is very crucial to be training as hard as possible. Never put it in cruise control!

Daily Training Tip #548

I read a study yesterday on the NFL. It stated that the shortened preseason, lead to an increase in injuries.


My question to those players is, what did you do on your own during your off-season? Didn't you prepare yourself?

Typically, muscle strains and muscle pulls that occur during the early part of the season can be avoided. During the first few entire team practices and/or games, players tend to go a little harder than they are used to, causing injuries. But my question is, if a players training is proper and they are in proper shape, wouldn't those first few workouts be breeze?

The harder and smarter you train, the better your results will be!

Daily Training Tip #547

If you warm up properly for a game/competition, why wouldn't you warm up properly for a practice or workout?


A neuromuscular dynamic warm up not only helps your body get ready to perform, it also helps reduce the risk of injury.
