Don’t prepare, just show up

Strength coaches find it hard to justify planning in detail. It’s hard to predict how an athlete will respond to training stimuli in the next few weeks let alone in 6 months. It’s tempting to rock up and see what happens.

What to do?

Lock in what you know; it’s probably more than you think.

Predict what you think you know; likely to be less than you think.

And for the rest agree in principle how you want to show up for each other.
