Episode notes
Structure Weekly Force Days
- Structure weekly training with distinct force days: Fast, High, rest, High/Fast, Slow.
- Keep sessions full‑body and dose stimuli so players don't get overreached across the week.
Dose Local Tissue Slow Force
- Use Slow Force sessions to load local tissues (quads, adductors, calves, hamstrings) with eccentric/isometric emphasis.
- Include EQI-style wall slides, full-kneel adduction, loaded calf lengthening, and Nordic/Swiss‑ball hamstring work.
Flip Priorities During Season
- Flip the daily priorities in‑season: game, then Game+1 Slow, midweek High, pregame Fast.
- Maintain Slow Force emphasis for high-minute players to manage load and tissue health.
