@EatSleepTrain_ If he has come to you then I imagine he has come to improve on his speed/movement. Like anything health and performance should go hand in hand.

However, if the club has asked you to work with him/squad then they clearly want him healthy and available. So doing both might be it.

You know you need to do Plyometrics

But you don’t know how

DON’T TRUST THE PROCESS!

I haven’t worked with a 100m sprinter in over three years, but now @reeceprescod has dragged me out of retirement so I am back on track.

He has come home full of wisdom after experiencing various training systems around the world, maturing physically , mentally and professionally as an athlete.

Something that has been centre of our discussions has been the strange but commonly used phrase….

“Trust the process”. 🤮

Coaches repeat this all the time but ignore that trust is EARNT not just given.

The audacious thought that athletes should just follow a program and “believe” is ridiculous. In fact many coaches are offended by athletes questioning the process (fragile ego).

When you dig down, many coaches don’t really trust their own process. They HOPE performance will improve but couldn’t bank on it. Maybe that’s why their athletes doubts can fracture their self esteem.

If you can’t trust your own process, why should your athlete?

If you got this far please answer this… how do you build trust with your athletes?
