Good resources for beginner athletes

[Jamie0202]

Hi,

I want to begin working towards becoming an athlete. Competing in Muay thai, boxing and Jiu Jitsu.

What are some good resources for beginners who have very little knowledge about training as an athlete?

I'm not interested as much in form and technique as there are many resources available for that.

Things like:
-Repositories of knowledge
-Websites
-Blogs
-Courses
-Books


I'm a blank slate when it comes to knowledge about training. Where would be a good place to start as a complete beginner?

Thanks,

Jamie

Find a good coach and pay them to do it for you. Ask them to explain why you should do what they say and what to read.

If you program your own training, you will generally just do what you enjoy doing. A good coach will make you do what you need to do and keep you accountable.

If not grab books and programs by people within the sports. Combat sports specific training is no different to other sports training, you just need to adjust for the fact that you have multiple competing practices compared to other sports.

Strength and power training, intervals and Long steady state work at various times are still going to make up the majority of your non sport training.

Look at articles about these sports and go read the sports or articles they reference.

Charles Poliquin's "The Poliquin Principles" is a great start. It's in Kindle.
