ADVICE

Use Light Loads And Intent For Power

  • Use light loads that can be moved maximally fast and cue effort not proximity to failure when training power.
  • Select loads that actually move quickly and anchor RPE to intent (effort), not reps-in-reserve.
ADVICE

Progress High-Velocity Exposure Gradually

  • Start high-velocity exposure as soon as the athlete can tolerate deceleration and landing forces.
  • Progress from supported hops to double-leg drops, then single-leg bounds and higher drop jumps as tolerated.
ADVICE

Train Strength First, Then Add Power

  • Train both strength and power concurrently: make strength the foundation and add brief power sets afterwards.
  • Example: heavy sets for strength then drop to ~30–50% and do explosive sets with full rests.
