- Today’s topic: What’s missing from athletic performance programs across the country (high school, private sector, and college).
- Goal: Build a systematic approach to help athletes maximize performance beyond just lifting weights.
- Reminder: Champions are made by mastering the little things — not just training hard.
- Sleep
- Ideal sleep environment: 68°F, dark room, no screens before bed
- Nutrition & Recovery
- Macro minimums:
- Protein: 1 g per lb body weight
- Carbs: 3–12 g per lb body weight (depending on sport/intensity)
- Fat: 20–35% of total calories
- Supplements & recovery tools: breath work, cool downs, PT, chiropractic, sauna, ice baths, hyperbaric chambers
- Macro minimums:
- Testing & KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
- Rotational Strength, Speed, & Power
- Lateral Strength, Speed, & Power
- Goal Setting & Habits
- Eliminating Organized Chaos
- Use jump testing / velocity tracking to monitor fatigue
- If below norm → reduce training volume/intensity by 25%
- If above norm → consider lighter bodybuilding day or active recovery
- End outdated “grind culture” of beating athletes down with unnecessary early workouts
- Wearables like Oura Ring or Whoop
- Help track sleep, HRV, recovery
- Enable team accountability features
- Athletic success = Mastery of the mundane
- Sleep, nutrition, recovery, and monitoring are just as important as lifting and conditioning
- Programs need curriculum + accountability for long-term results
- Each future episode will dive deeper into one of the seven key areas
