Training sessions should be designed to progressively challenge your body in order to induce positive adaptations. The outcome should be ultimately put you closer to achieving your individual performance goals.
Nutrition to Match your Training and Lifestyle
Your diet is the source of almost every nutrient your body needs to recover and become stronger, faster and more effective. Tailored nutrition to meet your lifestyle and training regime is therefore essential on the quest to peak performance.
Regular Rest and Recovery
The majority of your performance gains are made during the recovery phase post-exercise. Rest days, deload weeks and in-session recovery methods are all signs of a training program designed to facilitate your recovery.
Progress Tracking with Periodic Reviews
Over the duration of a training program, your body will adapt to become more able. Your program should be regularly progressed to reflect your increased capabilities in order to continually push you in the right direction.
A Positive Communication Channel between Athlete and Coach
Communication is THE most important tool in a coach's toolbox. Period. A program can only be as effective as the coach is knowledgeable of their athletes. Likewise, a program can be performed as well as an athlete is willing to learn from their coach.
