Our athletes could perform better if they were:
•Physically stronger
•More explosive and powerful
•Faster
•Big enough and lean enough for optimal performance
•Able to move freely and fluidly on balance in all planes of motion
•Able to handle large amounts of work for more deliberate practice
•Able to quickly learn new strategies and think critically
•Mentally tough, selfless, and relentlessly committed to TEAM.
Matt Ludwig CSCS,SCCC Strength and Conditioning Coach University of Washington
•Always mindful of where they want to be,
                                        be see the big picture

• Have a philosophy for why you do what you do.
                                               do

   • Define the outcome y
                        you want to achieve and the time frame
     needed to achieve that goal.

   • Create a teaching

     X‐Y in small increments. Eat the elephant 1 bite at a time.

It is the coach/ teacher’s responsibility to implement the level of
engagement that your program requires to produce the results
you are looking for.
I believe every athlete is capable of development and improvement to
bring something constructively unique to the competition floor. . I will
train all athletes using the science of sports performance to assess and
o ercome physical
overcome    ph sical performance barriers.
                                   barriers I will

teams they play for. It is my responsibility to elevate the performance of

• Define the strengths and limitations of the athlete

• Your evaluation process exposes the problems.
                                      problems

• Create simple

                        plans to address the issues

• Use easy to understand language with direct instruction

• Reward success, correct failure, be patient and allow them to
 learn. (know when to use the carrot and when to use the
 learn
 whip)

• Hold athletes accountable, but do not assume anything!

•“Strength training has to play a physiological role; it has to tap the same
energy system to add to the specific adaptation to the physiological
requirements of a given sport,” Tutor Bompa.

•Make your goals complement one another.
   • Training for maximal strength conflicts with aerobic endurance

   • Training for maximal strength complements sprint speed

•Train to optimize performance at the correct time within your season.

   • Athletic benefits of training may take 3 to 4 weeks post training cycle to express
     themselves in sport competition

   • Most sports do not require mass! Sports require power, quickness, and fast
     application of force. Bodybuilding methods do not result in increasing power.
Introduce the exercise first with body weight or minimal resistance.

Develop the exercises by adding volume and improving technique

Establish sub mastery of the exercises by training with the volume needed
to elicit a positive effect on performance, with near perfect technique and
possibly adding resistance.

Always remember:
Train specific movements in each sport during the sport season.

Some exercises will complement all sports. Some can be restricted to just
that sport season.

Avoid the numbers game, strength is realized and improved over months
and years of training. Compare your athlete to yearly progress.

Between each new season plan for 7‐10
                                  7 10 off from training days to
mentally and physically regenerate for the new sport.

This is an adaptation period to the new sport using practice as their
only form of training.

Each sport will demand its own specific energy needs. Transitions are a
great time to adjusting nutritional strategies.
Build testing periods into your seasonal training cycles.

Testing should model the training phase and its intended goals.

Testing should identify overall improvements as well as express
themselves in practice/competition.

Athlete should be communicating a positive performance correlation
