"I love it when athletes ask these questions," says Johnny Parkes. "I want them informed, I want them to know exactly why we're doing what we're doing and how we're going to do it because then I get more quality information and feedback from them."

Parkes, the Assistant Head of Strength & Conditioning for the Tennis Program at IMG Academy in Florida, is the latest guest on the Leaders Performance Podcast, which is brought to you by our Main Partners Keiser.

Coming up on today's show, we discuss:

• Giving athletes a clearer perception of training and its transfer to performance [6:30];
• The link between self-respect and performance goals [14:00];
• The importance of athlete self-reflection at the end of the season [24:00];
• Why there are more injuries than ever despite ever more injury prevention programs [25:50].
