ASK IF THEY INDIVIDUALIZE PROGRAMS BASED ON YOUR BODY (WEAKNESSES) AND GOALS
ASK THEM TO EXPLAIN THEIR STEP-BY-STEP PLAN TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR ATHLETIC GOAL
ASK IF THEY PERFORM SOME TYPE OF ASSESSMENT
ASK THEIR THOUGHTS ON HOW NUTRITION/SLEEP IMPACT PERFORMANCE AND WHAT THEY RECOMMEND FOR YOU
ASK IF THEY PAY ATTENTION TO MUSCLE FIBER TYPE TRAINING AND THE DIFFERENT ENERGY SYSTEMS USED IN YOUR SPORT
ASK IF THEY ACCOUNT FOR ALL STRESS (PRACTICE, SCHOOL, SKILLS WORK…) WHEN THEY WRITE YOUR PROGRAM

IDEAL SITUATION
OFF-SEASON
ALL CHANGES HAPPEN HERE (BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER, LOSING BODY FAT…)
PRE-SEASON:
PREPARING BODY FOR DEMANDS OF SEASON
IN-SEASON:
OPTIMIZE AND MAINTAIN WHAT YOU GAINED IN OFF-SEASON
POST-SEASON:
DELOAD (DO NOTHING) => BEGIN OFF-SEASON TRAINING
CLUB LEVEL (HIGH SCHOOL) SEASONS LAST ALMOST YEAR ROUND (EXCEPTION: FOOTBALL). DRASTIC CHANGES SHOULD ONLY TAKE PLACE IN A TRUE OFF SEASON. HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE MICRO CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IF YOU PLAY YEAR ROUND.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING A TRUE OFF SEASON FOR OPTIMAL ATHLETIC TRANSFORMATION
