Training Talk with John Pryor (Part 3)

November 29, 2015/by Martin Bingisser

I’ve gotten to know a lot of strength coaches from a wide range of sports, but never before heard a field sport team use such a methodical approach to transfer of training, specific strength, and complex periodization as when he described the Japan squad’s buildup to this year’s World Cup.
