Long Term Athlete Development Roadmap
As coaches, if we hope to create great athletes who have a chance at being successful for the long haul, then your programs must be based of Long Term Athletic Development.
Just like a baby must learn to roll over before crawling, crawl before standing, stand before walking, and walk before running, your athletes need to build a foundation for elite level athletic performance before they can reach their maximum potential.
When athletes specialize early and skip critical steps in building this foundation, they are at extreme risk for injury and burnout.
The trouble is building that foundation early isn’t always sexy. And often coaches may not understand the exact steps to building the foundation.
However, that’s not your fault! When it comes down to it, you have to produce results, and you’ve been told that specialization is the way to do it. Or worse, coaches have forced you to do it their way or you risk losing the chance to work with the team or their athletes.
But the trends are shifting, and it’s time to get back on the LTAD path!
