During the high school sports season, it’s easy for athletes to lose strength, muscle, and speed if training takes a back seat to games and practices. An effective in-season training plan doesn’t need to be intense—it just needs to be consistent, efficient, and focused on maintenance rather than growth. The goal is to preserve the strength and explosiveness built during the off-season while staying fresh and injury-free for competition. Here’s a simple, outline designed to help high school athletes maintain their performance edge all season long.
