Athletic Strategy Equation

Leverage x Technique + Force = A Better Strategy

Leverage? In athletic terms, leverage is an ability to readily position one’s mechanics (bio-motor skills) both systematically and somatically.

Technique? One’s technique is statistically and cumulatively subjective to all the makings of an athletes true potential (ie. genetics, mind set, age, fitness, etc.) to potentially out perform a present opposition.

Where most coaches establish an athletes objective game strategy upon is with their final component, force. Which, in real time, will lean toward accumulating volume (reps & sets) of all that “stuff” that happens at the gym and outside of their sport. Measured by training load, volume, time, recovery time, and so on. This gets redundantly repeated as it can be easily manipulated and controlled to measure for progress.

Underlying dilemma: An athlete that is not allowed to fully develop their leverage or technique will (by default) only be capable of practicing and refining a relative strength that is deliberate to the collectively controlled and compartmentalized portion of the whole athletic equation, and will be forced to adapt to the increasing demand associated with lasting athletic success without any tactical ability or advantage.
