Ever wondered how to keep your athletes in top shape without pushing them to the brink? Join us as we welcome back Darren on Two Coaches and a Coffee, where we unpack the significance of maintaining an average speed of 80 meters per minute during training sessions. You'll discover the origins of this metric and its practical applications in sports like AFL and soccer, gaining insights into how it helps build aerobic capacity. We also discuss the delicate balance between drill intensity and session goals, and why it's okay if not every session hits that magic number. Get ready for a comprehensive guide on making strategic adjustments to sustain peak fitness levels.

Switching gears, we delve into the rigorous schedules of professional EPL players, especially those juggling international duties. Can you imagine playing around 81 games a year? We'll break down the staggering workload and the complexities of managing fitness and conditioning amidst the chaos of domestic and European competitions. Plus, we compare these challenges to those faced by college and NFL teams in the US, who typically have the luxury of playing once a week. Listen in for an in-depth look at the strategic planning and resilience required to keep elite athletes performing at their best.
