You are what you train to be

Certainly the outcome of training depends on the input. If you train to be slow you will be slow, if you train to be strong you will be strong. Instead of searching for narrower more specific activities we should broaden our approach to incorporate more sport appropriate activities. Similar activities and movements can also have a very positive carryover. If we try to be too specific all the time we not get the adaptation that we need to make significant improvement.
