Well, it's hard to say without talking to them. It is possible that they do very little weight training during the season. I don't know how much you train on the off season (for track we would be in the gym 4-5 days a week). But, over the duration of the season it went to 3 days a week, then down to 2. We still did a number exercises, but changed them up a bit. Depending on where we were in the season, we would mix in the following depending on the goal (obviously wanted to peak at the end):
-decreased volume, increased resistance (strength maintenance)
-increased volume, decreased resistance (equal work, but less taxing on the CNS)
-decreased volume, decreased resistance, increased speed/intensity (more power focused, but since volume is down it doesn't kill the CNS)..that could also include more plyometrics
for throwing, the only components necessary were power/technique (obviously, strength and speed training helped with the power aspect), so never had to worry about the endurance end of it as a throw lasts less than 6 seconds..so, i don't know how that incorporates for your situation
Hmm. I think what it comes down to is timing my leg workouts. Maybe reducing my workouts to once a week , or making sure I lift right after my game so that provides me with 3-4 days of rest time to recover.
