In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I’m diving into the intricacies of workload monitoring and athlete preparation, particularly for basketball players. From managing training on the road to adapting workouts to fit within the constraints of a packed game schedule, I break down the strategies we’re using to keep athletes performing at their best.

As a reminder, our Random Shows shows are a quick 15-30 minute episode where I typically discuss current industry trends, research reads, current events, and occasionally offer my insights into the training process that we're undertaking each week.

Episode Highlights:

The challenges of training basketball athletes on the road and maintaining consistency.
How to adapt workouts while staying aligned with our overarching training framework.
The importance of protein supplementation while traveling and its role in recovery and performance.
Updates on how we're managing training cycles during a busy stretch back in Boulder, Colorado, with two-day game windows.
A dedicated Q&A segment where I answer your strength and conditioning and sport science questions.

Additionally, I share details about the Former Athlete Society—our Skool community designed for former college athletes looking to level up their fitness, training, and recovery. Don’t miss this value-packed episode!
