Many people who have played sports in the past can think back to a time when they did conditioning. Whether it be a team sport or individual, conditioning is often used as a form of preparation as well as punishment. “Sport specific” is a vague term that has become commonly used in the training world in which it seems that everyone has their own definition. This is a highly debated topic but at the heart of the conversation are two primary groups- Coaches and Athletes. Coaches want to know how best to train the athlete as a whole, not just replicate what they do on the field or in the weight room. Athletes need the best package of training, not the best lifting program.
