Either way these metrics work better than weightlifting scores as they actually tell us something that relates to athletic performance. Running fast and jumping high are probably two of most important aspects that every athlete needs, so why do we...

2023-03-3010 minAMPerformance PodcastAMPerformance Podcast - Episode 12Today we are talking about burnout. Prior to recording this episode I polled the college athletes for ideas to talk about and burnout is a real issue for athletes being "forced' to play year round without any down time to really rest, recover and rejuvenate their passion for the sport they used to love so much. Remember, there are some stressors involved in everything but if the game you love is causing you a lot of negative stress, it might be a time to step back and re-evaluate.

There are more ACL injuries than ever and all I see in terms of many strength and conditioning coaches is a rigid style of training running and plyometrics. A style that isn't conducive to what athletes are actually doing on the field. Let's try to mimic scenarios and body positions our athletes will see on the game and give them an opportunity to solve the problem...
