Patience-increases in strength take time. "
And that coach wasn't alone in that type of thinking.
Many responded first with some sort of injury
prevention tactic or foundational piece before advancing
their responses.
" Rest and recovery. Without it, you're just spinning
your wheels, " one strength coach said.
Another added that the most important principle is
the technical side of strength training. " Getting them
to understand the why and how is crucial. There is not
enough education for the athlete, " they continued.
A different strength coach mentioned Davis' Law,
which is training athletes in a variety of directions, at
different speeds and with different loads to protect the
body and make the connective tissue stronger.
" Variability is specificity, " they added.
" Build a strong core as part of your warm-up. Ensure
that the shoulder and hip have the requisite AROM
under control. Program progressions that are relevant
to ensuring 'laws' 1 and 2 are maintained while getting
stronger, " another coach offered up in the survey.

depending on who you ask about overlooked aspects of
strength training the answer is different every time.
Below is a sampling of some of the responses we

" Strength training shouldn't be undertaken only by
serious athletes. Strength training is important for
fitness and overall health for EVERYONE. "
" Using strength training to PREVENT injuries, not just
to get strong. "
" Nutrition, hydration, and sleep. Different types of
program designs/methods How do different coaches
create a culture. "
" Fundamental movement patterns Simple before
complex. "
" Eccentric patterns and central nervous system
adaptation. "
" Just more reps on basics instead of trying to make it
on Instagram. " n
