Miller Human Performance Podcast

In this video I provide a deep dive into the concepts and implications around volume and intensity. I believe these should be the key factors guiding our decisions around all strength & conditioning work, individual skill development, and team practices.   We’ll discuss how separating high volume from high intensity produces substantially higher quality, and therefore better development for the athlete. We will also analyze some clips from in the gym, on the basketball court, and on the soccer pitch so we can get a feel for what high intensity and high volume looks like.    You can also find a version of this episode on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/jPHGO9e7eGc There is also a companion blog on my website which can be found here: https://www.millerhumanperformance.com/post/volume-intensity  And you can follow me on   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/millerhumanperformance/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/Miller_Perform --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/miller/message

Coaches and athletes alike can be too quick to blame a weakness on one specific root cause (or simply link it to insufficient practice doing the task). In reality, holes in an athlete's game can be highly complex and multi-faceted. In this video I break down a framework for identifying weaknesses, analyzing their root causes, and then correctly prioritizing our training to make the most amount of progress.  Remember, we want to work top down in the way we correct weaknesses (from the most relevant to our outcome to the least), but then we must work bottom up in our attempt to fix root causes. Failure to apply one of the two will cause a drastic misapplication of training and provide inefficient progress.

Unfortunately, many team pre-seasons will start off far too aggressively. This often leaves athletes (you) dealing dealing with unnecessary injuries. In this episode, we focus on two things that you can control in the process to maximize your performance and limit your risk of getting hurt to start your season.
