Sport specificity is misunderstood…..

🔑 It has nothing to do with choosing exercises that mimic the sport.

In fact, that can often be counterproductive, as those “specific” exercises miss the main point of in season training.

📈 The goal of in season training is maximizing neuromuscular output while minimizing fatigue.

You do that with programming. Ex:

📉 Lower volume
📊 Reduced resistance training frequency
🏋🏽‍♂️ Submaximal loads moved with maximal intent.
