If Your Not Being An Athlete Right Now, STOP Eating Like One

Look Covid19 has thrown us all for a loop. Our daily routines have been turned upside down. As  athletes we become creatures of habit with schedules and training routines. We also have nutrition plans and schedules. At least those of us who are serious. Our bodies adjust to these patterns mentally and physically. We become hungry at the same time of day so we feed that response. Some of us as much as six times per day. Well if your not working out or you have a reduced training schedule to avoid eating too many calories you will need to modify your eating habits accordingly.
Some things to keep in mind:
Avoid crimes of opportunity: Around the house more, around the fridge more don’t let more access turn into more calories.
Stay disciplined: Set a new schedule and stick too it.
Avoid the Creeps: Calorie Counting will keep you aware of your intake levels.
Match Calories to your activity Level: Active day high calorie , low activity low calories.
Quality: Keep high quality foods, watch junk food and snacks.
Adjust your schedule: Try morning fast and watch those late night meals or snacks.
Watch your portions: Only need to feed the beast if operating […]

Making The Switch To In Season Training

Making The Switch To In Season Training

By Aaron Thigpen, Gamespeed Sports Performance

Jan 2019

The Start of the Highschool season is right around the corner. Hopefully you are finishing up a well planned off season training regiment (Right??). You’ve got gains, felling good, ready to go. Well the start of the competitive season doesn’t mean the work has to stop. For some the highschool season is just a segway into the more important Summer Season. How do you have a solid prep season and be prepared for the Summer? The answer, a In Season Training program!  It will, maintain your performance gains and finish the high school season strong. If planned out correctly, It doesn’t take as much time and effort (as off season training) but it does take consistency.

The benefits of in season training:

  • Sustain muscle strength for power.
  • Sustain connective tissue health to reduce likelihood of repetitive stress injuries.
  • Sustain endurance to maintain a higher level of play.
  • Sustain durability to handle to rigors of multiple competitions, scrimmages and practices throughout the week.
  • Most importantly to bridge your readiness for the upcoming summer season.

What Should You Do?

  • At minimum train a total of two- four hours total […]
