COVID-19: What are you recommending to your athletes?

Posted by Strength Performance on March 13, 2020 at 1:43pm

SPN Members - What are you recommending to your athletes with these unsure times upon us?

 

We wanted to begin a blog post that all members can comment on (below) with their thoughts and suggestions regarding anything that you are telling your athletes at this time.  This can include advice on coming into your athletic facility to workout or recommending they stay home.  If you recommend they stay home, do you plan to communicate workouts that they can perform at home?  What else are you recommending to them?  What questions do you have for our other strength coach members?  etc. etc.

 

It makes sense to leverage our Network and open this up for discussion and allow you to add comments, ask questions, etc.

 

Please respond with comments below.

 

Thank you for your contribution.

Use sanitizers when available and wipe down your bars & benches. If you feel poorly, stay home. Alert your physician, your coach, and keep them in the loop. Health first, training second.
