If you want to play the best games of your life, you need to have the best practices of your life

If you want to have the best practices of your life, you need to be in the best shape of your life

What shows up under the lights starts long before tipoff

Keep stacking good days

Facts don’t have feelings.

You aren’t immediately better after what you do in the gym.

You created the conditions to get faster/stronger…if you recover.

The workout is just the stimulus, what comes next is crucial.

Performance drops after training. From there, your body rebuilds above its previous

My favorite response to parents that ask me what else their kid can be doing/training to increase the physical development….

Become Elite in Recovery.

Fuel correctly.
Sleep 8-9 hours.
Be satisfied with doing less with higher quality work.

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

INTENTION changes everything!

Two athletes. Same starting point. Same exact program.
But one keeps improving… and the other stays stuck.
Why?

Athlete A is just going through the motions. Showing up because they have to. Checking the box.

Athlete B shows UP. Every rep has purpose. Every drill has focus. Every session has effort behind it.

That’s the difference between average and elite.

If you want to become an elite athlete, don’t just be present; be intentional. Work hard. Compete. Show up with purpose.

This post put together by performwithpete needs to be seen by as many athletes and coaches as possible! Amazing visual and an important lesson on how to maximize every training session. Over a thousand training sessions INTENT becomes the difference between success and knowing you could have been more!

The more you add to your training and sport demands, the more food you need to have on your plate. From my experience, most athletes aren’t eating enough. You’re asking your body to perform at a high level and adapt, but you aren’t providing it with any fuel. If you are constantly tired, lacking energy, or not making progress in general start here.

Learn how to fuel properly and stop eating like a toddler.

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

If you truly want to compete with the best athletes of today, sleep isn’t an option. I get it, you want to have fun with your friends. We all do! Keep your goals in mind when making commitments around where you spend your time.

Plan accordingly and consistently get 8-10 hours of sleep as often as possible.
