INSANITY
is repeating the same actions over & over expecting
different results
10 year or 10,000 hour rule
"It takes 10 years of extensive training to excel in
anything." Herbert Simon - Nobel Laureate
(Ericsson & Charness,1994 & Salmela et al., 1999)
For the athlete & coach this translates as slightly more
then 3 hours of deliberate practice daily for 10 years.

FUNdamental Chronological
/ Biological Age Male
& female: 6-10 ·
FUN & participation ·
General, overall development ·
Athleticism: ABC's of running, jumping & throwing ·
ABC's of movement. Agility, balance, coordination & speed ·
Speed power & endurance through FUN & games ·
Proper running, jumping & throwing technique ·
Medicine ball, Swiss ball & own body exercises for
strength ·
Introduction to simple rules & ethics of sport. NO
periodization, but well structured programs ·
Sport participation 5-6 times per week |
Training to Train Biological
Age Male:
10-14 Female:10-13 ·
Emphasis on general physical conditioning ·
Shoulder, elbow, core, spine & ankle stability ·
FUNdamental technical skills progressively more specific
skills towards the end of the stage ·
FUNdamentals of tactical preparation ·
Participation in complementary sports (similar energy
system & movement pattern requirements) ·
Individualization of fitness & technical training ·
Introduction to memtal preparation ·
FUNdamentals of ancillary capacities Single

performance ·
Frequent prophylactic breaks ·
All aspects of training ·
Individualized ·

Improvised
Alternative Training Session
(Balyi, 1992)
·
Session
planned = A
After warm-up athletes look sluggish, slow, tired, technique is breaking up
·
Revise
training content, since due to residual fatigue no training adaptation will
take place
·
Train
something less demanding
Planned Alternative
Training Session
(Balyi, 1992)
·
Session
Planned = A
Monitoring:
Testing (field or lab)
·
Identify
trainability or trainable factors:
If not A= speed or skill;
B = power
C = strength
D = endurance
E = aerobic recovery
F = recovery / regeneration
G= call ambulance
Trainability Tips
·
Qualities that
cannot be improved in a state of fatigue:
Pure speed
Acquisition / refinement of new motor skills (technique)
Speed-strength
Maximal strength
·
Qualities that
can be improved in a state of low fatigue:
speed-endurance (lactic power)
Strength-endurance
skill (if the objective is to stabilize technical skills under a variety of
conditions)
·
Qualities that
can be improved in a state of moderate fatigue
Lactic capacity
Aerobic power
Aerobic capacity
Skill (if the objective is to stabilize technical skills under a variety of
conditions, i.e. simulating final minutes of a match, etc.)
·
Qualities that
can be improved in a state of moderate to high fatigue
aerobic capacity
Flexibility (?)

Planning - The
Process
Headings from
documentation accompanying ProPulses
Training program management software
(Isvan Balyi & Alain Marion)
1. Determine the demands of the event
2. Assess the athlete(s)
3. Evaluate last year's program
4. Set general goals & objectives for the new program
5. Identify the events of the new program
6. Determine the type of periodization used in your program
7. Determine the duration of the competition periods
8. Determine the duration of the transition periods
9. Determine the duration of the preparation periods
10.
Determine the
phases of each period of your program
11.
Determine the
importance of key performance factors throughout the plan
12.
Determine the
expected progression of the workload throughout the plan
13.
Re-assess
previous steps
14.
Determine the
meso & microcycle planning structure of the plan
15.
Design the
training sessions of the first microcycle
