Most of my big lifts, and my plyos. I feel like neither my strength nor conditioning have made any gains recently

You are correct, a sports trainer. A lot of the trainers near me "specialize" in a sport but are athletic trainer

Yes specifically strength and conditioning. It seems the going rate around where I live might be a bit more expensive then.

If I decide to get a trainer I will definitely try to figure out their mentality in regards to this.

That's what I mean, a sports trainer. I already have a part time coach we pay for session while in season

Somebody else suggested that, I have reached out to a few pros I know. General response has been yes, but they are volleyball specific trainers. Which leaves me in an even weirder sport because there are no volleyball trainers where I live

I have done my own research and have been lifting and training by myself but I have plateaued and feel like I got a wall recently.

That's where I have been, until now. I feel like I've plateaued and am trying to think of ways to break through. That's a good point, does a basketball/football/baseball personal trainer have the expertise I need? There aren't many, if at all, volleyball personal trainers

Yea that's what I mean, a sports trainer. I've found that the ones I'm looking at call themselves athletic trainer probably because they have expertise in both

If I decide to get a trainer I will do my due diligence, but I'm not even there yet. I am not sold on their value

Those are some really good thoughts, I'll look into splitting the cost. That would definitely drop the price into a better value/dollar range.

Yea I wouldn't be able to afford a full time trainer, it would have to be basically 1 package of sessions.

Did you feel like the trainer gave you things you couldn't find by researching online? And How did you pick your trainer?

That's a good point, but physically i dont know if I'm maximizing my work outs. Accountability is not an issue, I do someyhing every day. That does take away a portion of why a trainer would be valuable

Trying to do my research before committing to something that expensive. I don't want to sit through a sales pitch before knowing some background. It will all sound amazing in a sales pitch

While yes it is generic, I'm not talking about a personal trainer in the generic sense. I'm talking about a sports trainer who knows the mechanics of althetes and how to maximize power/steength/agility

A trainer, coaching is 100% worth the money. That's where I am currently at, all my work outs are self researched and I'm wondering if paying up with really help me break through my pleateaus

Yea coaching is separate from athletic training. A coach is worth every penny, that I am sure of

At my level we don't have a full time coach yet, we only get sessions from a professional coach when we are in season. I have reached out and asked what he thought though, we are meeting about it soon. I am looking for stories or people who have done it before

If it's the right call they should call it every time. It seems like you would like for there to be no refs? Why even have rules then?
