I liked the frequency breakdown of the different seasons of sport training. really made sense on optimizing performance when you broke it down like that.
I really appreciate the emphasis on evaluating the whole athlete, not just the sport they play. Expanding to both physiological and psychological assessment, and common injuries associated with the sport. So smart!
This video helped me to understand that it is imperative that I am doing a proper assessment of the athlete and the sport in order to provide them with a functional resistance program.
I appreciate that a needs analysis exists to adequately assess athletes as well as their sport so that we can work to create effective programs catered to their specific needs.
Having the tables depicting items like different training status levels is super helpful too. Also I didn't realize that when classifying athletes in resistance training levels that the amount of time they have been doing it has such an impact.
When I was in high school and playing soccer, we were definitely overworked. My soccer team would lift in the morning, have practice, and then go to our club practices where we sometimes lifted more on the same day. Our coaches never took our training programs or experience into account. This is why it is super important to assess athletes and their programs.
Understanding the needs of an athlete at both their physical level and the needs of their specific sport is super important when creating a resistance training program. I thought this video did a great job explaining all the nuances of how to create a program!
Keeping in mind of what movements and physiological needs the athlete will need for creating a program was the most important thing I got from this video
I found this information to be very useful and the table showing the different training focuses based on where you are in a season was very interesting to me and is actually very useful.
The breakdown of how you explained the sport season was super helpful. Specifically when you were discussing the transition from Off-season to Pre-season to In-season.
It is so important as part of the needs analysis to not only evaluate the sport but also the athlete when designing a resistance training program because every athlete is different and will have different needs.
I liked how you went over the different goals that someone would have for a resistance training program and how that would change the way someone trains
Great to look at the spread of what type of training should be done across the sport season. It is incredibly important to understand that training volume and intensity should vary depending on the time in the season.
I enjoyed learning about the different needs of the athletes depending on what sport they play. Even within a sport the athletes could have different needs depending on their weightlifting background or position that they play.
I liked the chart that had a breakdown for athletic training goals depending on athletes sport season. I think it's important to understand when athletes should be training had, building muscle and endurance, and when to maintain and make sure your body is properly prepped for athletic performance.
I like how you addressed that even if people fall into certain categories for their training experience we can't assume what they can do and can't do in their training. Especially if they were trained improperly.
The table of sport season training was very familiar because it reminded me of the schedule I had while I was playing high school football. Off-seasons was much more intense then our in season work.
I like how the evaluation of the sport can be easily broken down into 3 types of analyses: movement, physiological, and injury. This makes it easy for the strength and conditioning professional when conducting the needs analysis portion of the program.
I really like how each step is broken down! It helps to remember it easier. I also remember when I had training how we focused more on the sport training during the season.
It is very important to know what an athlete needs before throwing them into a training regimen. Knowing your athlete should come first before anything else!
I never thought about how much you have to think about in terms of movement demands to critically evaluate when making a training program. If I was making a program for a track athlete, I would just assume they are running fast in a straight line.... lol. But this video made me realize I have to think about their specific event, and what movement and seemingly "small" aspects of performance that demands- i.e., ground contact time, acceleration, limb movement patterns, sharp turns or cuts, etc.
This would be super helpful when training for a sport. My water polo team never incorporated a needs analysis, though I think it would have been very beneficial.
It's so important to take an athlete's experience into consideration when designing a training program for them in order to reduce injury as much as possible.
I liked seeing the different levels of resistance training status because it helped me breakdown about how long it takes for people to develop in the weight room
Thank you for these videos! I just started studying for the exam and these are awesome! I wish I could have taken some of your classes! I have a question regarding the training priorities based on sport season: could you give some recommendations on training MMA athletes who don't really have an in season or off season? They might have a scheduled fight with a 6 week training camp but they could also get a call for a last min fill in with one week's notice and this happens quite often with my athletes.
Hey, thank you so much for this series, it has been incredibly helpful. Just clarifying, does the video series jump from Chapter 14 to 17 simply because it is all technique?
I thought it was cool to learn more about assessing the athlete to know what their needs were for starting resistance training. We'll all come in at different levels but I think its great to see how each person's program will be a little unique to themselves
I feel like being able to relate to the sport is almost common sense but being able to recognize if the position in the sport is endurance or strength based will give different results. Being able to be custom in some sense or catered to the athlete will allow for the best recovery and performance.
Some of the post season training that we like to involve our baseball athletes in is with some basketball and swimming to try and keep Aerobic capacity up
I find it very interesting how the training a age of person will determine how you program a resistance program. This makes sense however because a beginner will probably need more rest between training days because their body is not used to the resistance.
I feel like understanding the needs analysis is pretty self explanatory, but it is not very surprising seeing how there are many high school coaches who do not know how to set a resistance training program for their athletes. I coach high school football and I see a lot of the athletes not being able to perform basic resistance training movements and their strength and condition coaches do not put a lot of effort into trying to correct those movements. And I see how this failure of doing so leads to various injuries in-season.
Im glad Strength and conditioning coaches split up needs based on individual people and sports. It is best to make it individualized so they can achieve their greatest potential
Tables 17.1 says an advanced well resistance trained athlete can work out 3 to 4 days per week. However, in the same chapter on a different table, you’ll have less than two months for beginner one to two days per week and then I believe intermediate was still 2 to 6 months 2 to 3 days per week And then advanced was more than a year 4 to 7 days per week
If you have an athlete who is a basketball player, would you ever train at their max? When I see pro basketball players workout, I rarely ever see them train with heavy weights.
I thought it was how you could be an athlete in your specific sport for 10 years, but still be considered a beginner in the weight room because you do not have more than two months of experience.
I liked the frequency breakdown of the different seasons of sport training. really made sense on optimizing performance when you broke it down like that.

This video helped me to understand that it is imperative that I am doing a proper assessment of the athlete and the sport in order to provide them with a functional resistance program.
Enjoyed learning about the assessment of the athlete and how they need a specific training program designed for the sport they play
I appreciate that a needs analysis exists to adequately assess athletes as well as their sport so that we can work to create effective programs catered to their specific needs.
Really surprised how much more informative the comments on this video alone are aside from just the video. Lots of major contributors here.
I love that evaluating the athlete and evaluating the sport is at the forefront of writing a program, I think that’s very smart.
Having the tables depicting items like different training status levels is super helpful too. Also I didn't realize that when classifying athletes in resistance training levels that the amount of time they have been doing it has such an impact.

Keeping in mind what sport the athlete plays and using specific tests associated to that to get the values to compare is important. Thank you!
I really like how you explained the foundation of assessing a sport and prescribing a program based off of the sports needs. Very helpful!
I love how sports specific resistance trainin g can be and how much it can help someone improve in their sport!
I found this information to be very useful and the table showing the different training focuses based on where you are in a season was very interesting to me and is actually very useful.
The breakdown of how you explained the sport season was super helpful. Specifically when you were discussing the transition from Off-season to Pre-season to In-season.
This video was very helpful in getting to learn the knowledge on how to assess an athlete when creating a resistance training program
The table shown at 7:20 was really helpful, because I had no idea what classified someone as a beginner/advanced. It’s nice to have a concrete guide.
I like how this video showed all the important parts just in step one in order to create a sport/position specific program for the athlete.
I really liked the table of resistance training specific for the season of a sport. Off season training is just as important as in season.
I think it's really important to understand the types of training to prescribe to athletes depending on what season of their sport they're in!
It is so important as part of the needs analysis to not only evaluate the sport but also the athlete when designing a resistance training program because every athlete is different and will have different needs.

I appreciate the breakdown! Programming is so fun and individualized, it really needs to be specific and unique to the sport and athlete/client!
I like how you addressed that even if people fall into certain categories for their training experience we can't assume what they can do and can't do in their training. Especially if they were trained improperly.

This seems so important! I wish someone did this with my tennis team when I was playing for community college
I really like how each step is broken down! It helps to remember it easier. I also remember when I had training how we focused more on the sport training during the season.
The charts were very helpful when discussing traing status and traing based on sprt season
I always liked how individualized each program is for each individual based on everyone's different background!
It is very important to know what an athlete needs before throwing them into a training regimen. Knowing your athlete should come first before anything else!
Thank you so much for making this series. It's absolutely what I've been searching for!

This makes a lot of sense. How difficult is it to balance progress with lifts, and making sure the athlete can fully recover?
It's so important to take an athlete's experience into consideration when designing a training program for them in order to reduce injury as much as possible.
I liked seeing the different levels of resistance training status because it helped me breakdown about how long it takes for people to develop in the weight room
The chart for classifying resistance training age is helpful for general guidelines.
I never realized the amount that goes into preparation for each specific athlete in planning their individualized resistance training.
Thank you for these videos! I just started studying for the exam and these are awesome! I wish I could have taken some of your classes!

I always thought it was/is fun to do pre-season lifting!

The exact lectures I need to help build an exercise plan to get big!
I feel like being able to relate to the sport is almost common sense but being able to recognize if the position in the sport is endurance or strength based will give different results. Being able to be custom in some sense or catered to the athlete will allow for the best recovery and performance.
I found the section on classifying resistance training very interesting
Some of the post season training that we like to involve our baseball athletes in is with some basketball and swimming to try and keep Aerobic capacity up
I think its important to remember that we need to focus on the athlete and also the sport that they do.
I find it very interesting how the training a age of person will determine how you program a resistance program. This makes sense however because a beginner will probably need more rest between training days because their body is not used to the resistance.
I like how you can have one sport, like basketball, with multiple positions and each of those positions and players would have different needs.
I think it's so smart how each training program is tailored to athletes' specific needs
This is a brilliant video thanks man 👍
I feel like understanding the needs analysis is pretty self explanatory, but it is not very surprising seeing how there are many high school coaches who do not know how to set a resistance training program for their athletes.

And I see how this failure of doing so leads to various injuries in-season.
It's interesting to see how training can change based off of what sport season the athlete is currently in!
It is so crucial to have rest periods for athletes, whether they're well conditioned or not as it can lead to further injury.
How long should the postseason last before more intense off-season work starts?
I think it's interesting how programs can be designed based on the athlete's specific need for each season.
Great work 👍👍
Great Video!
thank you so much doc
Is there a system in place for sports which do not have on/pff seasons?
When conducting the Needs Analysis, both evaluation of the sport as well as the athlete must occur.
Im glad Strength and conditioning coaches split up needs based on individual people and sports. It is best to make it individualized so they can achieve their greatest potential

If you have an athlete who is a basketball player, would you ever train at their max? When I see pro basketball players workout, I rarely ever see them train with heavy weights.
It makes sense that you want the athlete to have a high load of resistance training in the off-season because it is fatiguing.
I thought it was how you could be an athlete in your specific sport for 10 years, but still be considered a beginner in the weight room because you do not have more than two months of experience.
There is no off-season! 😤😆
It all seems like common sense to me, but you have to teach it.
