Most injuries or illnesses don't ruin seasons, but ignoring them does. When something feels off, tell your coach immediately. Pause before pushing. Adjust the plan and adjust your expectations.

Get better first and then come back one day at a time. And it all starts with this one message. Hey coach, something's not right. That's not a weakness.

That is smart training. And this allows you to keep FTFPing even when your plan says rest to nip whatever it is going on with you in the bud before training exacerbates it into something greater.

In this video, Coach Frank breaks down how to train through sickness or injury without making things worse and without losing weeks of fitness to a preventable layoff.

You’ll learn a simple 6-step process used with real coached athletes to: ✅ decide when to rest vs train ✅ adjust intensity and volume ✅ avoid overdoing it ✅ revise your training plan ✅ rebuild day by day

Most athletes don’t lose fitness from missing a few workouts — they lose it by pushing through pain or sickness and turning small issues into multi-week layoffs. This video shows you how to avoid that mistake.

We’ll also show you how CoachCat, our AI Coach, handles illness, injury, and “something feels off” situations by revising the training plan automatically when life happens.
