Managing Training Time
“Value isn’t directly correlated to volume.”
Quantity versus quality of training is an underrated affair. Each minute isn’t equal to the next. Effective time management is essential in a deliberate, customized developmental plan. In regards to maximizing a student’s potential at the quickest rate, training should be intensely focused on the individual’s unique needs.
If athletes aren’t getting the results they’re capable of; it may be the perfect time to design a new developmental plan.
I’ve witnessed expensive training sessions ranging from total time-wasting games to fun/socialization, to the development of skills and the repetition of those skills. While they all offer value, mastery of an individual sport requires a tailor-made, personalized plan.
Properly preparing for pressure requires evaluating the athlete’s competence and confidence.
