In this episode of New Wave Certified, John takes you inside the world of high-performance training and reveals why the off-season is where champions are truly made. While many athletes slow down when the games stop, the best use this time to sharpen skills, build strength, and prepare their minds for the challenges ahead. John breaks down the science and strategy behind elite off-season programs, explaining how intentional training now can give athletes a massive competitive edge later.
But great athletes aren’t built alone. They’re shaped, guided, and pushed by dedicated coaches. John shares powerful insights on the crucial role coaches play—not just in skill development, but in building character, discipline, and resilience. Whether you’re an athlete looking to level up, a parent supporting your child’s journey, or a coach striving to make a bigger impact, this episode will inspire you to see the game beyond the scoreboard.
Plus, John reviews some of the most exciting and inspiring clips from the New Wave Performance Instagram, featuring athletes he’s trained and the progress they’ve made. You’ll hear the stories behind the highlights, the grind behind the glory, and what’s coming next for the New Wave family.
If you’re ready to dominate your next season—before it even begins—this episode is your blueprint. Tune in, take notes, and get ready to work.
