My Thoughts Monday #103- Look At What They CAN Do To Keep Them Moving Forward

Published: Sept. 23, 2019, 4 a.m.

“If we can remove the can’t and put the can in to give them a focal point, and a light at the end of the tunnel to train for, I think we are going to see improvements, not just in return to play, but how they return to play.”

A huge take home from this summers edition of The Seminar for me was the idea of talking about what the athlete can do, as opposed to what they can’t do that Sam Gardner referenced in how they program for their athletes. This has changed my outlook on our “retrun to play” programming from the outset of an injury. We can always find something the athlete CAN do, and something they CAN work on to get better. That doesn’t me that we should just throw something hard at them to “make them work”, but can be something that can be focused on a specific aspect of their training that they can improve upon to increase their abilities in other areas of performance.

We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows. If feel this could provide value for anyone else in the strength and conditioning field please feel free to share.
