In this episode, Vinny shares some of the things he thinks about when preparing his athletes for the NFL season, on and off season. As a trainer, it can be tempting to push your athlete to their max, however, patience really is a virtue when it comes to the human body and to achieve peak performance. You never want to go too fast and over exert your player, as that can cause massive setbacks (and injuries) later down the line.

“We have off season, which at that point we’re doing a lot of clean up work. We are restoring strength and other foundational things that will be driving our program later in the season."
"A lot of these injuries may also happen because there’s not enough time spent on them and getting your body to accept those loads and getting them to absorb it."
