Does anybody know any good websites where i can find or find advice on workout programs and nutrition advice for athletes of a particular sport? So help with weight training etc

i don't really want to pay for a personal trainer as most of the stuff i know and I'm not a professional athlete but i play netball to a high level and would like to develop my skills independently

any help appreciated!!

    So why not ask your coach?

    Find out your weak areas, and the core areas of the sport.

    For netball, at a basic level I assume you want to do a lot of conditioning and agility work to mimic the flow of a game, and some basic strength and power work for jumping, acceleration and direction changes, and so that if 2 of you go for the ball, you have a better chance of winning the challenge.

    Then on top of that focus on your weak areas as pointed out by your coach.

    Because her coach probably has little to no idea of how to perform a full squat or deadlift...

    snakebites94 I'd get on a strength training programming. Get on starting strength. Read it, follow it. I guarantee if you stick with it you will be faster, stronger and have the raw athletic skills to be better at netball.

    Agreed, I was thinking more from a programming perspective, rather than a technical perspective. If she's playing at a high level, the coach must have some idea of the demands of the sport, or at least where to find the appropriate strength and conditioning people.
