The Keys to Quality Athletic and Skill Development: Volume & Intensity

The Keys to Quality Athletic and Skill Development: Volume & Intensity

In this video I provide a deep dive into the concepts and implications around volume and intensity. I believe these should be the key factors guiding our decisions around all strength & conditioning work, individual skill development, and team practices.  

We’ll discuss how separating high volume from high intensity produces substantially higher quality, and therefore better development for the athlete. We will also analyze some clips from in the gym, on the basketball court, and on the soccer pitch so we can get a feel for what high intensity and high volume looks like.
