WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

Injury prevention is the key to consistency. Consistency is the key to improvement.

This workshop will give you the knowledge to apply the principles underlying injury prevention, not included in the current coaching awards, in a practical, real world way ensuring your clients achieve their potential and remain motivated.

Topics covered will include:

Warming up – it's preparing to perform 

Doing the basics well – the missing link

Recovery – it’s an activity not just resting

You can’t go wrong getting strong!

Load management – keeping track of things – developing the skill in young athletes through to experienced athletes

Autoregulation – teaching body literacy and how to know when to listen to your inner voice

Falling – falling down to warm up, coaching falling skills 

Individualisation – female athletes, youth athletes, older athletes

Benchmarks – what to measure, when and why

Return to sport following injury – getting strong again is the easy part
