It goes without saying that coaches (S&C, and otherwise) are dealing with a relatively unique challenge as we begin the process of returning to training after COVID-19. In a typical year for high performance athletes, 3-4 weeks may be near the upper end of a "transition" or active recovery period before returning to full-time training. In contrast, we are currently reaching approximately 19 weeks (as August begins) of limited or no sport-specific training. This is quite possibly the longest period that many high performance athletes have had "off" of their sport in years, or even their entire careers (we`ll ignore extended breaks post-Olympic cycle here). With this time off comes 2 things: danger and opportunity.
