Why Most In-Season Training Fails (And How to Do It Right)
Most players and coaches think in-season development means one of two things:
- Either you don’t train at all,
- Or you train the same way you do in the off-season… just shorter.
We believe there’s a different approach.
In this episode, we break down how to actually plan in-season player development to move the needle.
Instead of generic workouts, intensity guesses, or “feel-good reps,” we walk through a simple but powerful readiness framework that helps you decide what to train, how hard, and how much, based on the athlete in front of you.

A ton of what we talked about today connects directly to the ideas inside The Modern Basketball Blueprint, my new book.
