07. Nice workout. Why this one?

I knew plenty of workouts before I could explain how they fit together. I could fill a whiteboard. Explaining why Tuesday belonged in that particular week of that particular season was another matter.

That’s where Build, Don’t Borrow came from. The greatest training book ever written.

I want coaches to understand what they’re building, what each part is supposed to do, and how the parts relate. Learn from other coaches. Read their books. Ask about their training. Then do the thinking that makes those ideas meaningful in your program.

You don’t have to coach like me for us to have a useful conversation.
