Show Notes
- Pay attention to the order of your training. Michael’s research shows that the sequence of endurance and strength work can dramatically affect adaptation and fatigue. Doing high neuromuscular-demand work (like sprints) before lifting can blunt your strength response, while starting with lower-demand sessions may preserve power and improve overall training quality. Use this insight to structure sessions around your goals, and always track how your body responds.
- Make your data practical. Neuromuscular variables like jump height, power output, and HRV can reveal hidden fatigue long before an athlete feels tired. Michael stresses that coaches don’t need new tools, they just need to use existing tech smarter. Integrating wearable and GPS data to monitor fatigue and readiness can turn raw numbers into actionable insights that protect performance and optimize recovery.
