About

WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

 

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

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. The aim is to weave injury prevention into what you already do. No major changes, just subtle tweaks that make the difference between injury and consistency. The key is to know what tweak to apply and when.

The course will feel truly relevant to your daily work and easy to apply with youth and adult clients, enabling you to create intelligent, self-aware, athletes.

It will have the added bonus of informing you about injury prevention in your own training too.

Topics covered will include:

 

What we know (and don't know) - How do injuries happen? What's the current state of the science and how does that help us practically?

 

Warming up – it's preparing to perform, not preventing injury, but it does prevent injury too.

 

Doing the basics well – the missing link most of us don't do but we all should do.

 

Recovery – it’s an activity not just resting. What's the most effective recovery strategies for outdoors, comps, training, different populations?

 

You can’t go wrong getting strong! - But you can go about it the wrong way!

 

Load management – keeping track of things in a non complex way and how to develop the skill in young athletes through to experienced athletes.

 

Autoregulation – What is it? How does it work? (possibly not how you think). How to teach body literacy and how to know when to listen to your inner voice.

 

Falling – falling down to warm up. What is a 'good' fall and how to coach falling skills 

 

Individualisation – female athletes, youth athletes, older athletes. Special considerations at different stages of life relating to training and injury.

 

Benchmarks – what to measure, when and why? Super useful, but measuring is fraught with potential issues and errors. Keep it simple and easy and help your athletes learn about themselves.

 

Return to sport following injury – getting strong again is the easy part, building confidence and natural movement is key to fully rehab.
