Todays 'job' has been to study as I start the process of training to become a sports massage therapist on top of my coaching!

But it also made me think about how much I've learnt as a coach over the years and how much I still don't know!

And I truly believe once you think you know everything as a coach, you're finished!

There's always more to learn, always new avenues to explore, always new techniques and systems to try.

And as a coach we need to constantly be improving.

We expect our clients and athletes to apply themselves to our programming and coaching, we should expect coaches to apply themselves to developing their craft as well.

I believe training in sports injury and sports massage will make me a better coach To my athletes.

But you don't have to retrain or pay for courses to become more skilled.

Buy and read books, talk to and discuss ideas with other coaches, experiment on your own programming or in conjunction with a willing client. Constantly absorb information from as many varied sources as possible and then come to thought out and tested conclusions!

The reason you aren't recovering from high volume training is because you're expecting to do maximal load, maximal effort in every session!

But that's not possible and leaves so many pieces of the puzzle off the board!

1: technical proficiency work:.working at sub maximal/threshold levels to drill in skills and build technical mastery. Paused work, higher loading work, working under fatigue at manageable loads. All will make you better at the technical portion and prepare you for your heavier days

2:speed work: 50-70% of your max, moved with intent and speed. Add accommodating resistance, focus on being technically perfect and moving the bar fast. Not only builds speed in your lifts but gives you volume in your lifts without breaking you down. Instead of 1 heavy day you can press multiple times a week

3: Primer sessions/movements: these are a mix of technical work (tall jerks, sn**ch balances etc) and positional primers. Doing light stones early in the week can help you feel confident to attack heavy stones later in the week. Doing tall jerks can prime you to be better at your heavy split jerks

4: high repetition work: not 8-12s, 25-100s. Blood flow, pump work that builds tissue resilience, resistance to getting pumped at comps and strength endurance work. It's not fancy, it's not cool but it works.

Not sure how to implement everything and get stronger?

Not everything is designed for you to do: and that's okay!

What to do the races and competitions that feel inaccessible?

Put in the time and work to get there

I often hear athletes described as the calm one,or the feral one, or the planner, or the untamed one.

And I think that an athlete should be all of those things and more at the right time!

Sometimes you need to be thoughtful and meticulous, approach your programming and training from an artistic and scientific direction.

But other times you need to be aggressive and intentional to move big loads fast.

Sometimes a complicated or technical lift needs a calm, collected approach to nail.

Sometimes a max effort send needs salts, heavy metal and a little screaming.

Knowing how to enter each state and when will make you the better athlete.

Don't get stuck being the meticulous athlete with no fire

Or the wild athlete with no composure.
