Daily CSCS Question #11
A strength coach notices that an athlete performs well in training but consistently underperforms during competition. The athlete reports feeling overly tense and “thinking too much” during events. Which strategy would be MOST appropriate to improve performance in competition? Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below. I’ll follow up with my breakdown after enough people have responded. From Chapters 8: Psychology of Athletic Preparation and Performance

Daily CSCS Question #9
A strength coach programs the following in-season superset for collegiate soccer athletes: - A1: Back squat — 4 × 4 @ 87.5% 1RM - A2: 30-m sprints — 1 rep max effort (timed) - Rest: 2–3 minutes between paired sets After several weeks, sprint times progressively worsen across the session, while squat performance remains stable. The coach wants to maintain maximal strength adaptations without sacrificing sprint quality. Which adjustment is MOST appropriate? Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below. I’ll follow up with my breakdown after enough people have responded. From Chapters 17 and 19

Introduction
Hi everyone my name is Guillermo Alarcon. I own a gym in Long Beach California called A10 Fitness and Performance where I service primarily athletes (youth-collegiate), but also some gen pop clientele. In addition, I’m a strength and conditioning coach at a high school in Huntington Beach, California where I’m responsible for several teams (dependent on sport season). This will be my second time taking the CSCS, I narrowly missed it 3 years ago (then took some time off to re-open my gym post covid) but am excited to be apart of a community and structured learning environment this time around. Outside of training, My wife and I have fostered and later adopted 3 dogs for a total of 4 in our home so most of our down time is spent with them!
