COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Performance Planning
In order to achieve peak performance, an athlete’s training program needs to be periodized according to the demands of their sport, as well as their individual development needs. The Performance Planning module allows coaches to reflect on the structure of a yearly plan, and appropriately sequence training and development priorities so as to achieve peak performance.This 12.25-hour module is a perfect next-step after the Design a Basic Sport Program module. It is recommended that the Performance Planning module be taken before the Advanced Practice Planning module. After completing the Performance Planning module, you will be able to:
-
- Perform a thorough analysis of the demands of your athletes’ sport at the elite (high-performance) level;
- Outline a program structure based on training and competition opportunities;
- Identify appropriate measures for promoting athlete development within your own program;
- Integrate yearly training priorities into your own program;
- Organize and sequence training priorities and objectives on a weekly basis to optimize adaptations; and
- Evaluate the ability of your athletes/team to perform up to their potential in competition.
Includes: approximately 2-hour pre-workshop session
Advanced Practice Planning
For individual training sessions to effectively contribute to the overall objectives of an annual training plan, a coach must understand the outcome of each training session and how their cumulative effects will contribute to athletic development.
The Advanced Practice Planning module examines the impact of daily training sequencing, and the manipulations that can affect training outcomes.
This 4.75-hour module is a great follow-up to the Planning a Practice module. It is recommended that the Performance Planning module be taken before Advanced Practice Planning.
After completing the Advanced Practice Planning module, you will be able to:
-
- Identify the factors that affect practice planning;
- Ensure that practice plans are consistent with the microcycles and phases of which they are part;
- Sequence exercises in a practice so that their order is consistent with the research on sequencing;
- Develop a plan for training athletic abilities over a microcycle;
- Develop a plan for training technical and tactical abilities over a microcycle; and
- Develop a plan for a microcycle that helps athletes taper before a competition.
Manage A Sport Program
As coaches begin to take on more responsibility, they are expected to plan and execute tasks that go beyond the delivery of daily training and the management of the daily training environment.
The 4-hour Manage a Sport Program module provides coaches with the opportunity to plan and interact with program budgeting, setting staff and team expectations, arranging team travel, building athlete agreements, and reporting on athlete/team progress.
This module is perfect for any club head coach, provincial team coach, aspiring team manager, or technical administrator.After completing the Manage a Sport Program module, you will be able to:
-
- Manage administrative aspects of the program and oversee logistics;
- Manage staff’s roles and responsibilities;
- Manage camp and tournament finances and travel; and
- Report on athlete progress throughout the program.
