Strength training absolutely improves performance, but the mistake is assuming the transfer is automatic
This review found that resistance training improves strength, power, and sport performance in elite athletes, but the athletes still had to express those physical

qualities through skill, technique, and practice.
That's why I don't view physical development and technical development as competing priorities. The best results usually come when both improve together.

The problem with these kinds of conversations is that we usually end up doing one of three things.
1 - We create a binary opposition where you either care about strength or you don’t.
2 - We discuss qualities like strength, speed, power, and elasticity in isolation rather
1 - We create a binary opposition where you either care about strength or you don’t.
2 - We discuss qualities like strength, speed, power, and elasticity in isolation rather




than looking at how they’re interconnected.
3 - We have the conversation without defining the terms/context
What is strength? If somebody can sprint 24 mph, they’re producing a tremendous amount of force, so in my opinion, they’re strong.
The harder question isn’t whether

The harder question isn’t whether



strength matters…it’s understanding what quality is actually limiting performance and deciding where training resources are best spent.
