Programme Design: Sequencing – Superman just doesn’t get it!

(now is it pants first then the unitard or unitard first then my pant…..damn if only I'd paid attention to Nick Grantham…)

He may have superhuman strength, be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, use x-ray vision to see all the good stuff and fly around the world so fast that he can turn back time, but Superman just didn't get sequencing. The guy walks around with his pants over his leggings – never a good look and a fashion fopar that could have been sorted out if he just took some time to work out what order he got dressed in!

I've spent the past six weeks delivering presentations on strength and conditioning and without doubt one area that leaves people scratching their heads is programme design. Now I'm not suggestion for a minute that it's simple, it's not but there are some things that coaches can do to make more sense of the whole programme design process.

I've put together a short video that will give you some simple questions to ask each time you sit down to write a training programme. The answers you give will then help shape the programme and make light bulbs burn brightly, shedding light on some of the more complex issues.

Watch the video and find out why you need to understand what your training priority is, the impact fatigue has on your programming choices and how adopting a conjugated approach will allow you to optimise your athletes training.

Let me know what you think.
