Training Your Weak Side
Training the weak side builds balance, control, and reduces injury risk.
Every athlete has a dominant side and a weaker side. The weak side often limits speed, power, balance, and injury resistance. Training symmetry creates better overall performance.
The goal isn’t to make both sides identical but to reduce gaps so movement becomes smoother and more efficient.
Ways to train your weak side:
- Single-leg strength exercises
- Grip or throw training on the non-dominant side
- Hop & balance drills
- Ball-handling or footwork reps on the weaker side
