@HowellsDan How do the desired outcomes of the components in my program (strength / speed / capacity etc) interact? Are they complimentary or conflicting?

@Alex_S_Ross Love it - and add in the conflicting or competing demands of the sport too - that is often dismissed or ignored in planning too.

2) Adaptation-driven prescription only - the sets/reps/intensity must be appropriate to the goal It's amazing how many times I work with coaches who prescribe sets and reps, but no actual intensity... That's just "work" and everything short of a specific stimulus

@ChadMcGill13 I think it's a process of which comes first. Ask and explore first - seek to understand where there is potential for impact Then identify what's possible and communicate expectations. Otherwise - danger of a square peg in a round hole....

@ChadMcGill13 Nice one. Some good suggestions To dig deeper Do we tell the head coach how we intend to impact performance… …or do we ask? Do those nuances matter?

@adamcvscott I bet - I can just see the emphasis of the word choice, and or even tone upon which that cue/word was delivered for maximal impact!

For all the perfect planning you've done, a simple question should be ever present, running in the background of your mind... What does *this* athlete need at *this* time? or... What does *this* team need at *this* time?

@codyroyle Perfect. I've spoken to a number of coaches recently about really honing in on the details of what is needed, compared to what they "want" to do as a coach. They often don't align!
