As an athlete do I only need your services in the offseason/when I'm injured?
No. A common misconception is that training only needs to be done in the offseason. Although the majority of intense training can be achieved in the offseason, in-season training is a great way to prevent injuries, maintain strength, and manage competition volume #LoadManagement
