SUMMER HOURS WILL BE EXTENED THROUGH FRIDAY AUGUST 31ST!
August Article by Coach Preston
To train or not to train, that is the question. Are you preparing for competition or competing more?
There are 3 phases to this:
Injuries can occur for several reasons.
Here are a few:
1. Improper technique
2. Inappropriate amount of force (weakness)
3. Insufficient recovery
4. Lack of focus
Should we train prior to competition? The answer is a resounding yes. Often time’s parents are concerned with whether or not the athlete will be over-worked.
We do want to over train. It can lead to injury or at the very least, excessive discomfort. We also do not want to halt training completely when competition is in the near future. It is not whether or not we continue to train; rather it is what type of training we should do. We want to activate the body and mind in preparation of the competition.
Prior to the competition, the athlete’s focus should include fast twitch footwork, mental preparedness and elongation of the muscles. If the emphasis is competing (highly unpredictable) and not a well-rounded training program (controlled environment) the results are more than likely going to be negative.
The objective of most coaches is to win. If you are providing the team or the coach with what they need for the current season, your development as an athlete is not the priority. Therefore, you must find a trainer that can guide you on the path of constant improvement in all areas.
· Strength and flexibility
· Fast twitch and explosiveness
· Mental connectivity and technical skills
· Functional movement and balance
Training is about two things:
1. Preparing your body and mind for what you want to do and what to expect
2. Preparing your body and mind for the things that you do not expect
Remember:
Training is for the Future.
Competition is for the Moment.
Keep working hard athletes~

There are 3 phases to this:

- Execution - the act of complete engagement as it relates to our specific plan laid forth in our preparation.
- Completion - accomplishing our goal of dominance over an opponent.
