1. dont slack the 28% (dont waste the weekend doing whatever, recover and do it well) 2. Commit to 5 R's : Reps (training and workouts: 3-6 hours a day), refuel (eating enough and eating healthy), recover (cooldown, stretch, foam roll, ice bath) rest (at least 8 hours), and read 3. Condition like crazy (be the fittest you can be) 4. balance solitude with social (train w someone, especially someone who's good at a certain thing) 5. recite your kill list (make a list of better ranked players, see their strengths, and train them)

[@karigrandii]

Best tip is to train 2x a day and you will be so much ahead of everyone training 1x. For example technique or small games in morning and gym/cardio in evening

Hey Sam, I’m changing my position from midfield to striker, your videos have helped in building my confidence. In a tryout, I was in left wing, but I didn’t play good, then I went from wing to striker, and I played well, my positioning was amazing but I couldn’t score. Your videos helped me go to striker instead of falling back to defense on the tryouts, this was because of my confidence which was improved because of you. Thanks!

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Not sure how I missed this one Sam! You mentioned Archery, as someone who primarily works with another target sport, Olympic Shooting (shotgun, Trap & Skeet) this is an area Ive often had difficulty in trying to convince athletes, from multiple countries, of the benefits from each of these factors to their performance. Sport science, and sport management have come such a long way, especially in the past 10 years! Keep up the great work with these videos! 👍

Nah, fuck that shit. Have good nutrition, stretch before and after each workout, and take Saturday and Sunday off stay up late have fun, then get back to it Monday. The most important thing to know for the off season and pre season is that you should make sure you are balancing having fun with training or else you will get burnt out, or you will start to not enjoy the sport anymore leading you to quit.

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

If that works for you then absolutely go for it 💪 I said it's important to still have fun but I think there's a difference between fun that is rejuvenating and fun that's destructive

[@juliusmoerck838]

How much cardio would you recomend? Sam keep up the work

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Depends on your sport - if you're a marathon runner you're going to be doing a heck of a lot more than say a golfer 😅 having said that, someone like Tiger Woods would do two 4 mile runs (one in the morning and one in the evening) alongside an hour of tennis most days. All of that was on top of 3-4 hours of golf specific training 😳 sorry I can't be more specific but just do some research into how much top athletes are doing in your sport. Hope that helps

[@TopNikke]

3-6h a day training, what do you include in it? Training and workouts not recovery?

All sports are much different now - you HAVE to be an athlete. Otherwise your career tanks into obscurity. Look at Eden Hazard - didn't look after himself physically (was known to be the laziest trainer) and last 4 years of his career were a mess.

Everything in the video bro 😅 also at you're age spend as much time just playing for fun with friends. If you're on summer break play football all day everyday at the park/courts. The more hours you put in, the better you'll get!

[@sambomjan]

Hey Sam love your content, I am also a content creator in instagram, I was wondering where do you do your research. Thank you

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Thanks man. I read a lot of books as a basis for a lot of the ideas for content 😅 then I'll use things like twitter / Instagram and make a note of anything that takes my eye and whether I think I can relate it to lessons/tips etc

[@thefootyfrenzy.]

sam i kind of disagree with the training 5 hours a day. See i think 3 or so hours (say around 3 trainings a day) of intense, game realistic and 100% focus training would help you improve much faster that 5 hours of average intensity and focus training. I don't think it is very realistic either to assume someone can maintain 100% focus in their training for 5 hours worth of work, especially if it is individual training and there is no one there to drive you externally. Let me know what you think

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

5 hrs a day is roughly an average of pro athletes. It really depends on the sport and what kind of training you're doing. In some areas 3hrs probably is optimal, especially for the intense work, as you rightly say.. But in that 5 hours this can include things like a 30-45min warm up and similar for cool downs etc. The hours really add up when you consider those things, along with an hour or two of mobility work, strength & conditioning, and stretching/yoga etc.

[@jacobwright7383]

Should someone who isn’t a pro be training 5-6 hours a day? I’m 14 and I train around 3 or 4 hours a day and I’m just not sure if I can do it

[@yassinkhalil7597]

Quality over quantity

[@yassinkhalil7597]

I am 17 bow but when i was 14 I heard about the 10000 hour rule and i trained for 5 hr a day and i wasnt improving that much .. unlike now i train about 3 hr but improving much faster QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

As @yassinkhalil says, quality over quantity is the best bet 3/4 hrs at your age would be sufficient if it's good, deliberate and focused practice. You will know your body best and what it's capable of doing. Try to gradually increase the load each week and continually reassess 👍
