The Truth About “Sports Specific Training”

“Sports specific” sounds nice, and it works marketing wise to parents who don’t know any better


But the reality is that for athletes all training is GPP: general physical preparation. It’s a critical aspect of development as it raises force outputs, and increases robustness and durability of the body; but it’s a general stimulus


The problem becomes when the “sports specific”  marketing becomes the actual training, and poor trainers have guys trying to mimic swinging and mimic throwing with weight room exercises


Trying to mimic specific skill from your sport in strength training actually makes you worse, because you will never be able to re-create the bio mechanical nor physiological rate of force development and rate coding of the nervous system that occurs on the field, in the weight room


If you could, why practice?
