Cue the jump, not the landing. Focusing on how to land can lower jump height and distort the result. Keep testing cues consistent, then address landing mechanics afterward. #SportsScience #StrengthAndConditioning @DChristophi
More rounds don’t always mean better training. Once performance hits a ceiling, stop—then athletes can get more quality work with less unnecessary impact. #SportsScience #AthleteTraining @DChristophi

Combat sports still struggle to measure training load—especially sparring. “How much can you take?” isn’t a smart plan. The challenge is building grit while preparing athletes with better evidence. #CombatSports #SportsScience @DChristophi
