Top 3 Ways to Develop for Your Sport While In-Season

Have you ever thought of changing your training style to suit your seasons? A lot of people don’t…but it’s so important to create your training program based off your current workload. The off-season is perfect for going hard, maxing out your strength gains and pushing the limits of your conditioning! When it comes to In-season doing these things will absolutely lead to your body breaking down, not being able to perform and even potential injury! SO let’s break down our top 3 focuses when training In-season!

Focus on Strength Maintenance

Everyone loves to max out! But there is a time and place when this is effective and during the season isn’t it! You should have been working hard all summer to maximize your strength gains, then its time to continually maintain that all season. I Know it sounds silly, why would I workout to not progress? It’s all about the current situation, the most important thing is making sure your body is ready to go come game day every week! If you lift too heavy you’ll be overly fatigued all the time but if you don’t lift at all then your body will break down and not make it through the season so the sweet spot is right in the maintenance phase where you can still perform at a high level and be strong!

This is an amazing aspect of training to focus on during the season because it has so many benefits and won’t over tax the body leaving you feeling fresh and ready to perform at the highest level! Improving your mobility and movement progressions consistently will not only greatly improve weight transfer, movement efficiency but also greatly reduce your injury risk keeping you out there playing and performing!

Cater to Your Game Schedule

It’s important to make sure every part of your program is build around your current schedule. This includes practices, games and any extra on-ice or off-ice  training sessions you may have. Once you have all that down on paper you can start to see where your training and development days can fit it. Usually 2-3 days a week In-season is the sweet spot to maintain strength, progress mobility and movement and help keep injuries away! Remember not every day. has to be the hardest workout! It’s all about staying strong, healthy and consistent!

Stay tuned next week where we start to break down each one of these individually with exercises and techniques! Thanks for reading!
