How To Train to Be Tryout Ready!

The season is just ending for most, that means it’s already time to start getting prepped for tryouts! There are many different approaches you can take to getting tryout ready, we’ll simplify it into 3 main training techniques to focus on. Movement efficiency, explosiveness and mental prep. Let’s break them down! 

Movement Efficiency

The ability to move the body quickly and efficiently will greatly increase your performance and your odds of making the team your looking for! This means getting your weight transfer right.

  • Multi-plane movements (sagittal, frontal, transverse)
  • Effective hip and ankle loading
  • Quick transitions from movement to movement

Explosiveness

This is an obvious one! Everyone wants to be faster and more explosive, but how do you do that effectively? Weight transfer and movement efficiency will have a lot to do with that but also the type of exercises you do also will have an affect.

  • Multi-Plane plyometric exercises
  • Full stride extension mastery
  • Quick ground contact time training

Mental Prep

This is a highly under looked aspect of training! Everyone focuses on the physical but what about your mental prep? It’s super important to make sure the mind is conditioned to handle the pressure put on you especially during tryout season!

  • Hoodie up! – this will help you focus in, block out the noise and get comfortable with the uncomfortable!
  • Confidence through movement – when you can move with confidence you will play with confidence!
  • Push through the pain (the good pain 😅) – this means understanding when to push through the muscle burn, fatigue and uncomfortable situations…never push through an injury!
