Hard work will bring success. Yes to a point. Smart work will yield longer lasting success. Anyone can work, but that is not training. Training is work with a purpose, with a specific measurable goal in mine. Getting tired, feeling the burn, getting sore and puking at the end of a workout is not the measure of a good training. You need to ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing, to whom you are doing it with and when you are doing it. Remember the simple goal is to train adaptable athletes who will thrive in the competitive arena. TRAIN SMART!

I agree whole heartedly. This is something I am finding trouble getting my baseball players to realize. In fact, I just wrote them an article last night explaining this. Thanks for this as I will read them this post as well.

I think it might be like one of those inverted U hypotheses. Up to a point some players just need to do more stuff: they just need to get moving/ practicing.
After that, just doing more leads to diminishing returns and then quality\ specificity take over.
