## Resource

We sits down with Mirek Babiarz—Poland-to-US S&C coach turned gym owner and NSCA Poland chapter lead—to talk real training vs. “movement-only” culture, why conditioning is the most sport-specific quality, and how to build performance systems that actually peak when it matters. In-this-playbook • US vs Europe: “motor prep” to real S&C: Europe’s movement-first bias (soccer culture) vs. US strength culture (football) — and how Mirek sells strength without killing speed, agility, or skill. • Stop making the weight room “sport-specific” and start making conditioning specific: squats are general; conditioning is not. Specific conditioning → general endurance, but 5K fitness doesn’t buy you boxing/rugby readiness. Prioritise repeat sprint/jump/COD capacity (anaerobic repeatability) for team sports. • In-season performance that trends up : when practice intensity drops late-season, gym intensity must rise (volume down, intensity up). Undulate within the week, use the “rule of 10” for heavy work, and adjust the second lift based on game difficulty + minutes played. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
