Junior and Youth Athletes
Training protocols for the young athlete is perhaps one of the most misunderstood subjects.
There are numerous physiological and psychological phases between early childhood and adolescence. Understanding these differences are crucial for successfully planning the long-term development of any young athlete.
During this developmental stage you must consider:
• Using enjoyment as the primary motivation tool
• The development of social skills in a group dynamic
• Building of confidence and self-esteem
• Different psychological and learning capacity of children of differing ages
• The introduction of co-ordination and motor skill drills
We have training concepts and programs to help your understanding of all the aforementioned concepts. This will ultimately benefit all of the young athletes you coach.
Strength and Conditioning for Athletes
The development and implementation of appropriate strength and conditioning programs are vital for maximising athlete performance for elite competition.
Exercise selection and subsequent strength gains must have a direct functional transfer to the sport.
In team sports, each athlete must also be conditioned for movements that are specific to their playing positions.
Strength and conditioning expertise we offer are:
• Training the correct energy systems
• Exercises that will improve functional sporting performance
• Conditioning to prevent injury – ‘Prehabilitation’
• Multi-plane training
• Proprioceptive development
• Identifying and addressing functional and biomechanical weaknesses
Training Load Management and Periodisation Training
Strength and conditioning programs must be developed to avoid burn out and overtraining. Training loads and resistance training must change in accordance to the various stages of the competitive calendar.
We’ll show you how a coaching team can plan training sessions with seamless integration to target various training goals.
Injury Rehabilitation
Injury management and rehabilitation should be an integral part of your athlete conditioning repertoire. A systematic approach must be used for post injury athlete analysis and through the recovery period.
Our rehabilitation programs get athletes back to competition with better movement and the confidence to get them performing well.
Athletes must also be managed on an emotional and psychological level when recovering from injury.
