Interesting post ,as usual, Andrew.
Reaching the full potential is the ultimate goal for every serious athlete.
But as you said, the highest level of training intensities may be out of reach for most non elite athletes as far as a more than solid knowledge of the science of training is required (staying away from injuried wouldn't be a bad thing too).
I was wondering: don't you think that( apart from the already mentioned knowledge lack and the possible/probable injuries you may run through training "as hard as you can") just playing a sport would be another serious limit?
Wouldn't the sport specific activities "drain" to much of the energy and time?
As you stressed out in your post, the more advanced of an athlete you are, the more the time and effort you have to invest in order to improve.
So how do you as a trainer actually behave managing, for example, a basketball player? Are those concepts really applicable to those who are concerned about so many multiple aspects (among wich the sport specific skills) of the performance?
PS: I LOLed at the picture,btw
