Training in the confines of the gym space (GPP) with a focus on  transverse plane and rotational power like apply as much to sport as it does everyday life. For example, lifting a heavy tire from the ground into a pickup truck requires rotational strength and stability. While we might not be able to train this exact movement in the gym we can use sandbags, medballs, kettlebells and throws to train for such an occurrence. Thus by training in the transverse plane, athletes can improve their overall efficiency, making them stronger and generally more useful.
