"Why Train Hard If You're Not Training Smart?"

The first athlete I ever trained was myself.
That was about 20 years ago, as a freshman in high school. And like many of you, my goals were to get bigger, stronger, leaner, and faster.
At that time, the strength & conditioning field as we know it now was in its infancy.
Most of what we (my football teammates and I) did for training at the time was rooted in bodybuilding, and came from simply copying the biggest people in the gym.
We'd bench, squat, do curls, crunches, those types of things. If it was working for them, it must be the best way...right?
That was 20 years ago, and despite all the advances in how elite athletes are trained today, for many in this area not much has changed.
Simply following the same poorly thought out training programs from 20-30 years ago will not give you the competitive advantage you need to beat today's opponents.
Taking these older concepts and simply packaging them into a fast-paced, nausea-inducing format is not progress.
Neither is spending all your time solely on adding more weight, at the expense of great technique or being able to use the great variety of training concepts available today.
Between training myself through high school and college, and then helping literally hundreds of athletes reach their goals for the past 10+ years, I have seen firsthand how the field has evolved every step of the way..
And what is out there today is just miles ahead of where we were back in the early 90's.
Advanced core training.
Injury prevention training.
Plyometrics and explosive power development.
3D Strength Training
Dynamic flexibility and soft-tissue massage for better range of motion.
Workout schedules and formats that can target exactly what you want to build.
Strength trainng for speed development.
The list goes on and on.
If we had access back then to what is out there now, my friends and I would have gotten so much more from our efforts. It's the kind of thing that can make you mad when you think of all you missed out on.
But for high school and college athletes in Central Massachusetts today, you have the opportunity to get what we didn't have access to back then.
