What normally makes people better?
Not just as an athlete but as a person?
In most cases it is by doing something harder than you are used to.
Most people that I have met that have been through university have left more sophisticated and organised.
People who have started business’s have continued to do so with the improved capacity for complex problem solving.
People who played their sport to a high level and been cut from more teams than I can count approach new challenges devoid of fear.
The point is, win or lose, you will grow from the challenges you set your self. At the end of the day nothing remains the same, so you can either evolve and receive dividends of a better you or stagnate and allow your skills and qualities to diminish.
“Push the floor away”
When preparing athletes for the multidirectional movements that accompany team sport the lateral shuffle is one of the first specific warm up exercises on the sheet.
The common misconception with this movement is that the lead leg is pulling us forward. This typically leads to a sort of gallop like motion.
However, the main driver of this movement should be that outside leg. We get our athletes into that athletic position and allow the cue to work its magic.
“Push the floor away”
Cueing movement does not have to be complicated.

"To create a training effect we must induce fatigue."
There is a disparity in the interpretation of this quote between low-quality coaches and high-quality coaches. Low-level coaches will think that to get the best return on the training they must create the highest amount of fatigue-like sensation.
The better coaches will understand that fatigue is multifaceted, we must be specific in the manner it is produced. For example, your pursuit to develop speed will not be achieved by depleting metabolites through minimal rest periods. You will be fatigued but not the way you intend to be.
The better coaches will also understand that fatigue masks fitness. Therefore, if you spend one session trying to get as fatigued as possible it will undermine your performance capabilities for many days after the session. This is particularly concerning when it comes to developing athletes. This approach won't just affect your other strength and conditioning sessions, it will also hinder you in your sport as well.
