Depending on the age of the athlete we would develop a plan to improve the overall technique, conditioning, and weightlifting (for older athletes) of the athlete. Practices may vary from technique and drills to plyometrics and conditioning depending on the goals, level of the athlete, and season at which they are being coached.
