Training load management for high-performing youth athletes
Training to reach peak performance is an individualized journey. Research shows that it is no longer a guessing game. Learning about and how to navigate your training using load management is a tool that will give you the upper-hand when it comes to making decisions along your pathway to better play and improved well-being.
This training will provide the best results with both the athlete and a parent participating. We will review what load management is, why it is important, and how we will be tracking your athlete's training loads with the use of the athlete monitoring app. The athlete needs to be committed to inputting the data over a two week period.
THE TWO-WEEK TRACKING PROCESS SHOULD BE DONE WHEN YOUR ATHLETE IS IN PRE-SEASON OR IN-SEASON TRAINING.
