Summer Training Tips

7 Tips for Summer Pre-season Conditioning by Eric Cardwell, Athletic Trainer for North Hills

  • 1. Prepare for your upcoming season throughout the summer. Start early and maintain a routine.

  • 2. Get FIT - When training, consider the 3 prongs to success - frequency, duration, and time.

  • 3. Use weight lifting to enhance performance and prevent injuries. Follow a program prescribed by a certified strength coach.

  • 4. Use running drills that mimic the type of running that you will use in your sport. This is called drill specific conditioning. Refer to the Community Recreation Program on the main page for the Summer Speed & Agility Clinic.

  • 5. Maintain a flexibility program. Paying attention to flexibility will decrease the chance of incurring a muscle injury.

  • 6. Good nutrition is training for the energy system of the body. Like a car, when the fuel is of high quality, the body will run better and longer.

  • 7. Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Drinking sufficient water and sports drinks are essential to maintaining the body's cooling system.
