Why Hard Work Wasn't Making Him Faster
from Developing The Elite Athlete · host John Vickers
Most athletes assume that if they're working hard, they're getting better.But that's not always true.In this episode, I break down the story of a football athlete who spent nearly two years training hard but saw very little improvement in his speed.When he came to us, we discovered the problem wasn't effort.It was direction.We discuss:* Why hard work alone doesn't guarantee results* The biggest mistake athletes make when trying to get faster* What was actually holding this athlete back* How we identified the issue* The changes we made* How he improved from a 4.81 to a 4.56 forty-yard dashIf you're an athlete, parent, or coach, this episode will change the way you think about performance training.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/developing-the-elite-athlete--2922195/support.
