My whole approach is about making you a stronger, smarter, and more resilient athlete, using science, not guesswork. I’ve got the research chops and coaching credentials, but more than that, I keep things practical and honest. ### What I Actually Do - Every plan is tailored for your sport and your body - no random workouts. - If something hurts or feels off, we tweak it. You get a sport-specific strength program that fits you. - Technique comes first. I don't let ego lifting or sloppy form mess up your progress. ### The Real Components - We focus on strength and explosive power training, not just bodybuilding moves. - I’ve worked with dragon boat athletes, so I know how to build endurance and power that actually translates to racing or competition. - Conditioning means smart drills, not hours of boring cardio. It’s all targeted for your sport. ### Staying Injury-Free & Sharp - Injury prevention isn’t optional. Warm-ups, mobility, and corrective exercises are built in. - We tackle issues like knee pain head-on and adjust training so you can keep progressing. - Training smart means you recover well and stay in the game. ### Beyond Lifting: Full Athlete Mode - Nutrition and hydration are part of the plan - simple, effective fixes for cramps and fueling. - I push for mental toughness for athletes. Lifting is as much about the mind as the muscles. I coach both solo athletes (online) and teams (on-site), keeping things practical, evidence-based, and focused on making you better at what you actually do. ## Highlights Browse through Sagar's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/physiquecreator/strength-conditioning-for-athletes/featured) - ![On the water with the UBC Kainakary dragon boat team, ensuring their power output is synchronized and explosive for race day.
