Competitive Athletes Developing a Competitive Edge Through Strength Training
Competitive athletes can improve their performance by focusing on the four conditioning goals of athleticism.
Athleticism is a general term used to describe exercises and games requiring physical skills. The components of athleticism can be broken down into four basic conditioning goals:
*Strength
*Power
*Speed
*Agility
As an athlete it is crucial to understand the importance of each, and how each component relates to the others. Having been involved as a competitive athlete and now an active coach for over four decades, I can see that each of these four basic components is essential to optimal performance on the field.
It has been said in training circles, that there are three topics which will spawn an instant debate. Politics, Religion, and Training techniques. American strength coaches and exercise researchers often work independently and often in direct competition with one another. There are different "camps" of training methods, each working in direct competition. I have witnessed extremely heated debates between coaches from differing camps. There are a number of Internet forums that are defenders of the ultimate training program. In the U.S., researchers seek publications and compete for grants, often keeping their data and ideas to themselves for fear that another lab will publish similar studies. There is often a sense of competition between coaches and researchers in the US rather than cooperation.
Watch an NFL football game, and then ask yourself some questions. Which team used only free weights? Which team used only machines? Which team followed training methods from the "HIT" camp? Which team used only Olympic- Lifts? Which team followed "Power lifting" protocols? Can you tell just by watching the game? Does it matter? What I see are individuals who display some great "athleticism". They obviously have trained the four basic components at some time during their athletic career. If competitive athletes want an extended professional career they better pay close attention to the components of "strength, power, speed, and agility.
So which training program do they use? Which one is the absolute best? What do you the aspiring athlete want to use? This is what I have learned after four decades of training. Are you ready for the best kept secret in the world of strength and conditioning? OK, here goes...THEY ALL WORK !!!! I know, "you can't handle the truth".
Why did the old USSR/Eastern Europeans dominate world arenas in Olympic sports, especially in strength-power type event? Because Soviet coaches worked together with the exercise scientists to field test and apply their theories. There was no "gap" between the scientists and the coaches as there is in America. In addition, the Soviets were firm believers in coaching athletes to learn basic movements prior to teaching them complicated sport-specific skills.
Competitive Athletes need to train for the big four: Strength, Power, Speed, and Agility. Master these areas and you will have an edge over your opponents.

Athletes Performance Institute $157.72 Athletes Performance Institute (API) is a private personalized performance training institute, described by MLB.com as a hightech fitness boot camp for professionals, and by ESPN as a sprawling weight room/running track/football field/swimming pool/caf/spa. Training programs can include aspects such as a nutrition program, massages, metabolic tests, cardiovascular work, drills, and aptitude and media training. Personalized training centers are a relatively new concept. API was founded in 1999 by Mark Verstegen, a lithe, crewcutted man who spent years implementing fitness programs for IMG, who holds a masters degree in Exercise Science and studied at Georgia Tech. The API Tempe, Arizona facility opened in 2001, and that same year API began an NFL Combine preparation program for prospective NFL athletes, training them for the NFL Combine tests. Since its inception more than 25 first round picks were API athletes, including 8 each in the 2005 and 2006 NFL Drafts. In the spring of 2001 Sports Illustrated noted that Roberto Alomar had spent the prior December at API, and was noticeably stronger.
