Alex Richard, Director of Sport Performance at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, FL give us his thoughts on the “5-10%” lens he sees physical preparation through for team-sport athletes. In this basketball-centered conversation, Alex and Anthony cover how he uses vertical integration through specific categories to prepare his athletes, the high/low model, in addition to the methods he employs to create synergy between what is taking place on the court and in the weight room. Lastly, we attempt to provide analysis and solutions to get you from that “5-10%” impact to “15-20%”.
