Welcome to the science of training young athletes part 2.
exploitation capabilities interact to form the appropriate sports specific phenotype.
performance abilities of strength, speed, endurance, coordination and flexibility.
the technical tactical and mental skills.
exploitation capabilities to maximize the athlete's sport performance.
15% due to the genotype-training interaction effect.
better influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
what is of particular interest to us, their response to training.
The central portion here is plastic in nature.
to design the phenotype most appropriate for the athlete's sport.
Now this photo is a great illustration, I love it.
to suit the physical and technical requirements of a sport.
The two individuals are identical twin brothers.
many years as a distance runner an the other is a body builder.
successful performance in their specific sport.
Now here's a question, which one do you think is the body builder.
Is it the twin on the right or the one on the left.
If you said it was the twin on right, you were correct.
He is much more muscular than the twin on the left.
An endurance runner's physique needs to be fairly slim not muscular.
Now you've seen this chart in part one.
exploitation capabilities develop fairly slowly over time.
an athlete to reach their genetic potential.
And this is the time needed to mold the correct phenotype for most sports.
including the important desire to train, regulate for many, many years.
Now Wayne Gretzky was one of ice hockey best players.
maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me, maybe it was passion.
Everything I did in hockey, he said, I worked for.
I think most coaches and elite athletes would agree with Wayne.
Hard work and passion are necessary for success in sports.
many coaches claim that sport is 99% mental.
but certainly the mental aspect is very important.

In essence, part 2 bills on the information I presented in part 1.

it matches the developmental age and experience of the athlete.
beyond puberty, and there are five broad topics that we're going to address.
core training principles and training stimulus and periodization theory.
power that is important to many sports, and as frequently misunderstood.
and the peripheral and essential factors important to an athlete's strength.
recovery is an important component of the athlete's training.
And to understand recovery we must pursue the theories that explain fatigue.
I include training and heat in this section.
you to understand the fatiguing effect heat has on the nervous system.
this is a favorite of all the coaches that I deal with.
the signs explaining overtraining is quite confusing.
between overload, overreaching, and overtraining.
And the final topic is the competition preparation plan.
And this is the action part of the course.
think about putting the athletes training plan together.
How to quantify training loads and how to taper your athlete for competition?
let's examine three important factors influencing training program design.
The first is how well the athlete's performance is progressing.
modify the training plan accordingly.
Checking performance and modifying the training program is an ongoing process.
An important modifier of training is the athlete's growth and maturation.
And this is the second factor influencing training program design.
giving the coach on-field performance analysis data.
better decisions about their training program design.

your athletes are distinctly different from those of another coach.
training plans ideally suited for your specific athletes.
they match the speed with which your athletes are progressing.
