Having competed in a long laundry list of sports has given me some of life’s greatest lessons. From winning to losing, from the meaning of team to mano a mano each presents a certain gift.

One particular gift that simply falls short in the “text books” versus “real life” is the understanding of sport specific energy systems. An athlete conditioned for one sport does not simply insert themselves at the top of another.

With the start of our spring season right around the corner and this weekend’s SEVENS, I have been experimenting with various modes of training to prepare myself for the conditioning needed on the pitch.

After some GPP, DROMs I completed this circuit for 20 min.

Sandbag shouldering 8x (4 to each shoulder) with 80# bag
Sprint 50 yards at about 70%
Perform 5 Burpees
Sprint 50 yards at about 70%
Double Kettlebell Snatch for 8x
*REPEAT

More to come………….

Kettlebell training is great teaching tool for athletes. It teaches them generate movement by utilizing the ground and root their feet and the action can be powered by the core structure.

Here is a short clip of two of my top Lacrosse players progressing through a complex. They project the weight through the hips into the arms and accept the weight and decelerate through the hamstrings.

And not to mention the simple “conditioning” aspect that is manifested by the kettlebells never leaving your hands!

Are you an athlete? Not sure how to train? Where to begin?
