QUESTION FOR COACH 8 (Lee Taft)

LUKA KOVACEVIC:

When it comes to S&C, how can we be sure if something works better than something else? Testing is not a reliable method often… nor current science… Very often, we don’t even have enough time to try something else (or new) and wait for potential results…

LEE TAFT:

The best way to know if a training strategy is working is if Performance on the very things you are training is improving during games. We have to look at things such as efficiency improvements, coordination pattern improvements, and consistency improvements.
