011 - How to Build Stronger Legs with Limited Pool Time

Author: Glenn Busch December 13, 2021 Duration: 7:40

Harper has this episode's question. "I want to become stronger in my legs, especially my eggbeater, but I find it hard to get pool time, especially on my own. What are some workouts on land, or what should my workouts focus on to build strength in the water?" I'll discuss how I dealt with limited pool time and how I was able to find space, the three categories of dry land workouts I would focus on regardless of pool time, and some other non-water polo suggestions.
