There are four major components to achieve
high-level performance in athletic training,
personal fitness, or indoor/outdoor sports.
1. Proper tools and gear
2. Physical ability to do the task
3. The energy sources needed to get there
4. Your desire to accomplish the goal
Proper Tools and Gear
Matching the proper gear and tools to your task is
essential. Using the wrong gear at the right time
is just as bad as not having the gear at all. Find
the proper gear and fit for your application and
you will accomplish your goal easier than your
competition.
Physical Ability to Do the Task
The use of event or sports specific training will
increase your strength and stamina and your risk
of injury will decrease. Using a combination of
activity specific drills, strength training and
plyo-metrics, you can greatly enhance your ability
to perform with more speed, endurance, and power.
Nutrition
The energy source or sources your body uses is of
the utmost importance. If your body does not find
the proper energy sources, it will not produce the
power, nor will it recover properly. Without
proper nutrition, you will not be able to sustain
yourself while performing.
Desire
This is the most vital component and the one you
have the most control over. Without desire, using
all of the right gear, energy supplements, or
multiple hours of training cannot help you.
THE QUESTION IS... Are you willing to put forward
the time and effort necessary to achieve your
goal?
