What happens when you get stronger?
It might sound like a silly question, but as an athlete it's vital to understand the effects that getting stronger has on your performance.
Sports are, in a grand sense, displays of force. The amount of force you generate is directly limited by your strength. You could have flawless mechanics, but if you can't generate a lot of force, you won't be performing at a very high level.
Becoming stronger allows you to apply more of ANYTHING. Opportunities like:
- More force into the ground which can translate to more speed
- More force into your opponent which allows for better execution
- More force into the ground which can translate into higher jumps
But if you don't have the strength in the first place you are self-limiting yourself! You can't use what isn't there!

| Strength gives you the opportunity to create more speed and higher jumps. |
That's one of our "secrets" at AGSP. We train to make our athletes stronger which builds their "strength tanks" to give them as much opportunity to perform better as possible.
Maybe a better question to ask is, "What happens when you don't get stronger?".
Keep Training!
