January 2020: Integrity, Supplementation, Periodization

This month we're teaching our athletes about supplementation, periodization, and having integrity in the weight room and in their daily lives.

December 31, 2019 By Rachel Poppe

January 2020 Trigger Focus

Mindset Principle: Integrity

There are a couple different definitions of integrity we’ll be looking into this month:

  1. The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles
  2. The state of being whole and undivided.

Instilling integrity into athletes is a daily demonstration. Three main areas to focus on are: Fair play, good sporting behavior and character. Character development is not just an instruction, it is a consistent mind set.

Nutrition Principle: Supplementation

Supplementation is to be used when an athlete is unable to get sufficient nutrients from their daily meals, or in some cases, add more calories when they cannot be consumed. Essentially, supplements serve to bridge the gap in one’s diet. Supplements are used to pick up the slack if anything is lacking in the diet or to “shortcut” meal prepping and just taking nutrients directly. In addition, supplementation could help improve meal timing (i.e. meals before and after workouts).

Physical Principle: Periodization

Stated simply, Periodization is looking at the big picture and the end goal, and then breaking it down into actionable, day to day steps to reach that goal. When we create our programs for our athletes, we like to start from the end and work our way to the beginning. Every exercise and movement we program is designed to help our athletes reach their goals.
