The reality is that every athlete is starting from a unique place, and therefore requires a specific path to get from where they are to where they want to go. As a result, the more a training program can cater to the specific needs of the individual, the more effective (or efficient) it will be in helping that athlete achieve his or her goals.
Making individualized adjustments can be challenging in a team or group environment, but here are 3 simple strategies:
There are countless ways to use there 3 strategies, but the first two can be particularly helpful when the facility requires players to be in the same area (e.g. in a squat rack) at the same time.
