Most "Athlete" Workouts Are All Wrong.
Media shows most athletic workout programs with tons of circuits, stability balls, and intervals.
As someone who trained athletes from youth levels - world class athletes this is the complete OPPOSITE of how 99% athletes train.

So, what did we do?
The biggest focus is on intent. Slowing down and doing things correctly.
Practice doesn't make perfect.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
Joint position dictates muscle function. So if form gets sloppy we're no longer training what was intended.

We emphasized the basics.
A quality warm-up focused on hip/thoracic mobility and plenty of trunk/glute activation. These are many of the same weak-points everyone else has.
Compound exercises.
Optimal form with squats, trap bar deadlifts, single leg work, pushes, pulls.

Isolation work: A little bit, but not a ton. Very specific to the sport. It was always at the end of training as an add on and often meant to keep things fun.
Rest periods: Often complete rest between sets. The focus is on 100% rep quality and focused intent.

Conditioning: Kept for the end of training or as a separate workout all together.
Big keys:
Don't fuck up your athletes.
Joint position dictates muscle function: if form slips you're no longer training what was intended.

Training isn't the sport--it's designed to improve performance of the sport. Leave your ego at the door.
Intent is everything.
Keep the environment fun but the work focused. Be able to turn it on--then get loose.
