Playing more doesn’t always mean getting better. Especially when your body isn’t prepared for the workload. School practices during the week. Club games on the weekend. Skills sessions in between. Tournaments whenever there’s an opportunity. For a lot of athletes, it all gets stacked together. The problem? Your school coach sees the school schedule. Your club coach sees the club schedule. Your trainer sees the training sessions. Your body sees all of it. That’s why simply counting games or minutes doesn’t tell the whole story. How strong are you? How well conditioned are you? How explosive are you? How well are you recovering? The more you ask your body to do, the more prepared it needs to be. Playing on multiple teams isn’t automatically the problem. Being under-prepared for the total workload is. Build the athlete who can handle the opportunity. #TrueAP #TrainTrue #AthleteDevelopment #SportsPerformance #YouthAthletes
