..oaches of all levels and all sports now realize
..the value of a well-run and organized in-season
..strength and conditioning program. This was not
always the norm though. Many coaches and programs
were reluctant to have members of their team lift weights
during the season. The thinking of the day was that
weight training would make them slow, " muscle-bound "
and lower their skill level. We now know that this is
not the case. In-season strength training is important
for injury prevention, maintaining established levels of
strength and power, developing new levels of strength
and power, and maximizing one's skill performance.
During the off-season and pre-season months,
coaches are also eager to work with their athletes on
the importance of speed for their sport. Usual coaches

will include some type of speed development into
their out-of-season program. But once the season
starts and games are on the line; like in-season weight
training programs, coaches will usually drop speed
training development drills and only concentrate on the
conditioning aspect of their sport.
Running sprints and doing gassers will develop
advanced levels of conditioning for your sport. But just
like strength and power, if speed is not continued to be
developed, taught and coached, it too will slowly be lost
by season's end.
And just like an in-season strength training program,
a few well-placed speed drills placed into your weekly
practice schedule will do wonders for your athlete's
game speed.
