Trapped

Developing weight room strength for the sake of developing strength is a trap. Too often there is no thought to transfer and application. Numbers go up in the weight room without any commensurate improvement in performance.

Stop and think: what are you getting strong for? Strength you can use is the goal and it is coordination with appropriate resistance that allows the athlete to make better shapes appropriate for their sport. It is a straightforward proposition, get maximum return on your investment. Escape the chasing number trap.
