Weightlifting and Sports Performance: 100% readiness
For competitive sports you have to be ready 100% for anything all the time on game day. If you're a soccer player you have to be ready to take an unexpected shot at goal, you have to be ready for a slide tackle. In football, everyone has to ready when the quarterback gives the 'HIKE' command. In both scenarios you have to be 100% ready. There is no 80% readiness or partial readiness. You have to be as fast as possible, think quickly, move explosively 100%. If not, you have been left behind by your competition.
In comparison, when you 'workout' at the gym you can partially give a certain amount of effort needed to finish the workout or set. When you workout, you can stop, take a breath, and half ass it so to say. In competition, you can't half ass it. You have to give it your all for every play.
Weightlifting = 100% readiness
What separates Weightlifting from other forms of off the field training, you have to be ready for every single rep, for every single set for every single training session. There is no half ass. If you half ass a rep the bar won't go up. At loads of 80% or more you can't afford to half ass anything! Or else the bar will not go up and you will not explode. You have to be perfect both physically and mentally all the time everyday and that is very, very, very hard to do.
For this reason alone, Weightlifting training is a perfect supplement for sports performance. There are many methods of training to compliment on the field performance but lifting the snatch and the clean n jerk prepares the athlete unlike any other form of training. Other methods are too slow, too many reps or not practical. Olympic style Weightlifting, you can't be slow. You have to be STRONG, FAST, EXPLOSIVE, FLEXIBLE, PRECISE, and that is how it's like on the field.
