When we talk about training, we tend to get caught up in topics related to exercise selection, exercise progression, training cycle design, or other planning and periodization factors. Within these discussions the focus is generally centered on what you can do to cause changes in the body which lead to a positive result. This is logical, seeing as we all want to get stronger, run faster, jump higher, and all that jazz. The problem is that if all we focus on are loading factors within the context of what is needed to drive adaptation, we might end up overlooking the most important factor that affects our ability to train, perform, and stay motivated to train. So, what is the number one priority that athletes need to focus on? The most important thing that an athlete can do if they want to perform at their best is to stay healthy and injury free. For many of you, this may be an obvious factor to consider, but some don’t quite understand the implications of injury and sickness as they relate to someone’s long term physical development and mental state. Today we’ll briefly cover some reasons why you need to make staying healthy and injury free a priority in your training, as well as some ideas for how you can go about doing this.
