On Sport "Conditioning"

Regardless of the sport in question, the most relevant means of improving a player's/athlete's "conditioning" is via the actions of their sport itself, because it is their sport actions, and not any other, that cause fatigue in competition.

Robert Greene once told me:

“Above all else, focus on acquiring knowledge & skills. Knowledge & skills are like gold—a currency you will transform into something more valuable than you can imagine."

With knowledge & skills, Robert said, you become a magnet for opportunities.

I always like this video when making sense of hip and knee dominance.

Watched it 10000 times in has influenced my reflections a lot of the years.

What are the common traits amongst “good”knee vs hip dominant players.

What are the nuances?

How do we close the gap?

Soreness primarily comes from unaccustomed stress

Large ⬆️ in int., vol. & ECC contractions will likely exacerbate muscle soreness. However the most significant increase in muscle soreness comes from unaccustomed exercise

Be extra cautious when making program changes in season

@Coach__Gill Happy BDay G!

What should your shin/body angle look like in a sprint?

For the first 3 contacts: shin angle typically matches body angle (~43 to 45 degrees)

This slowly rises every step - shin angle getting vertical sooner

Take a look👇🏾

I wore an Oura ring & a Whoop band on the same hand/wrist for ~12 months.

Here's everything I found... 🧵

TLDR:
- Whoop isn't accurate enough to be useful. I took it off.
- Oura is better. I'm still wearing it.
- Beware readiness/recovery scores - raw data are more insightful.
