Most athletes lower their training volume in season to stay fresh and that's the right call.

But there's one part of that advice nobody talks about, and it could be the exact reason your performance feels inconsistent on match day.

In this episode of the PRFM To Win Podcast, we break down why feeling slow off the mark, stuck in second gear, or like your body isn't responding the way your brain wants it to - isn't a fitness problem. It's an exposure problem. And there's a big difference between the two.

You'll discover why lowering your volume in season without considering intensity can leave you underprepared for what competition actually demands.
You'll learn why sprinting, sharpness and explosiveness rely on your nervous system - and why that quality fades faster than most athletes expect without regular exposure to it.
You'll find out why this isn't just about being at a low intensity club - and how not starting regularly, small injuries, or time off all create the same problem.
You'll understand the difference between training happening and the right qualities being trained - and why most athletes never ask themselves which one they're actually doing.
You'll learn how to take responsibility for your own match day preparation rather than relying on club training to have you covered.
