What Happens If Athletes Skip Strength Training?

Hi Parents,

It’s easy to think practices and games are enough during the season.

Over time, athletes who stop strength training often experience:

• Loss of strength and explosiveness

• Increased tightness (especially shoulders and hips)

• Slower recovery between games

• Higher risk of overuse injuries

• Performance drop late in the season

This doesn’t happen overnight—it builds week by week.

Strength training acts like armor during the season.
