What I know to be true

 

there are two points I want to making in this post about improving athletic enhancement, and this goes for every sport or activity.

  1. train what you hate, if it is long distance training, or flexibility, train it.  We most often hate what we are deficient at.  regardless of sport or activity analyze what it is you dislike, and train it until you can manage to do it without a grimace
  2. Diversify, search out all other methods.  There is a famous weight training saying that goes "everything works for a while"  don't be afraid to jump out of your little square box and attempt something new.  If you have the opportunity to surf or rock climb, give it a shot.  This comes with a disclaimer, if you are a 300 pound football lineman, please don't take this post to be an open invitation for you to start triathlon a month before your season starts.  Reasonable diversity will do you no harm, and will make you a more well rounded athlete.
