If strength is an important part of performance for a given sport, then I'd say it should be considered a necessary and more than complimentary part of the season's overall training program. it is quite possible to maintain strength in-season provided it has been developed to a stable point during the off-season and the overall program does an effective job of managing stress and recovery. It's only when coaches mismanage this that it becomes an issue.

One topic I constantly hear from sport coaches is that we maintain strength during our inseason. The primary concern of the inseason should be sport competition, all resistance training should be programmed as complimentary. The human body cannot serve two masters and must focus on sport or strength training. Everyday inside the human body cells die and cells divide, therefore there is no true maintenance of strength during the inseason, as compared to the offseason. All external stressors are cumulative on the human organism. Every practice, every game and even travel, accumulate as stress which must be accounted for. So though strength numbers from the offseason, preseason and inseason may be equal, the athlete has to work that much harder to attain them. It is at this point, where the sport coaches and physio need to determine if that is the best utilization of available energy. Thank you for the article Rob.

This is a highly debated topic. Some coaches want you to focus on being the strongest guy in the weight room with all the lifts. There are some strength and conditioning coaches, one being Marv Marinovich that focus more on explosive strength, reactive strength and elastic energy of muscles to generate power. Marv often uses very light weight plyometrically. He uses isokinetic machines for maximal strength and does not use heavy olympic or powerlifts for his athletes because he thinks the injury rate is too great. He focuses on proper biomechanics to generate the most power. That's not the norm. And this is all highly debated as to which is the best. There is more than one way to get good results. And believing in your own method plays a role in the success you achieve with it. And I think it depends on how you play your sport like you said. But this is an interesting topic Rob.
