Workout Priorities Poll
Chris Sinagoga | Monday, October 24, 2016 at 2:00PM In between thoughts of Peppers for Heisman and the showdown on November 11 between Rutgers and MSU for last place in B1G East, I started to contemplate how priorities are usually sorted for training.
In my experience, most things operate best when there is a hierarchy in place. And often times the issues I hep other coaches with is recognizing when they have deviated from their main objectives.
In the strength and conditioning world, there seems to be six major areas I hear coaches emphasize:
- Aestetics (weight gain/loss, muscle building, tone, etc.)
- Perception (skill development/coordination)
- Position (strength)
- Endurance (conditioning/stamina)
- Numbers (lbs. lifted, rounds completed, etc.)
- Mentality (team building, toughness, etc.)
My question is, what order do you think those factors should be in terms of importance for the general athlete? (Not a specialist!)
In other words, what is the most important area to be developed and what is the least? Note: We did a similar poll back in 2015 that dealt with all the physical skills one could acquire in a workout program. This one is more from my observation and includes some different categories.
