The Long term athlete development (LTAD) is a sport development system to help athletes to develop in their sport. The LTAD framework has been developed by an internationally recognised coach educator called Dr Istvan Balyi. The LTAD framework is founded on a consensus of evidenced research about young upcoming athletes develop their skills and connecting it to the coaching and development of players to their physical and psychological growth. The principles of the LTAD is that it take at least 8 to 12 years of training to become an expert In a specific sport. This is also known as the 10,000 hour rule and the athlete will need to train for 3 hours a day for 10 years. Doing this will better prepare them for lifelong involvement in sport and this because the upcoming athlete …show more content…
The larger muscle groups are developed well resulting in make it easier for the players to perform large movements than small coordinated movements that includes the interaction of the smaller muscles. Activities at this stage should be mixed gender, since at this stage there is little developmental differences between girls and boys also these activities should focus on coordination and learning through repeating movements. The variety of activities and sports will help to develop simple movement skills, and endurance and this can helped through fun games and activities. At this stage the emphasis must always focus on having fun than winning. The second stage is learning to train stage which the aims are to continue teaching the ABC’S that will help to develop overall sports skills, while incorporating physical, mental, cognitive and emotional components within an organised program and develop physical literacy.at this stage the players’ speed, agility and coordination is still developing rapidly. The players’ will be learning good technique, and so quality training while including game scenarios so the players can apply their
Athletes in times of difficulty can be important role models.” This shows that sports are in fact helpful because they can grow children into being important role models for the rest of society. Studies have shown time and time again that playing sports can be beneficial to children and we also believe this to be true. Many people still think that sports cause “too many injuries”, or coaches “are not fair enough”, but adolescents will experience these things all throughout their lives because injury can happen anywhere and they will not always be the best at what they are doing. Sports are beneficial to the youth because they can teach children and teens important life skills, help them maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle, all while improving their mental health.
There is a movement within the athletic training field to approach sport injuries with a more holistic perspective. Many athletic trainers have had inadequate education in sport psychology to institute any sort of psychological initiative in their rehabilitation programs. This paper will discuss some of the prospective ideas and various methods of rehabilitation tactics that could be used in the field, as well as how to properly train athletic trainers to administer these mental treatments, along with the physical treatments. These mental treatments will be related back to sport and exercise psychology concepts, such as strategies for setting realistic goals, methods for encouraging positive self-thoughts, and understanding individual motivation.... ...
... us how to value what we have and to show gratitude for being bless. After all, being an athlete is a blessing and if we put money aside it can be a very humbling experience. We should develop our faith in God and know that what is for Caesar will be for Caesar. As the saying goes in my language “what it is meant for you will be your no matter what” and there is northing man can do about it. What God has in plan for you, will truly become your in due time. These are the concepts we want our children to embrace. Patience is the opposite of chaos. The governing boards of these sports should make it a rule that apply to all athlete from all sport, to wait until after their college years before making the decision to become professional. We should be a society that promotes strong standards and up hold the values of good education. Knowledge is power not money.
Our society, in terms of world sports, has grown increasingly impressive. Most professional athletes have been playing their specialized sport since grade school, and although impressive, the people we are rooting for are wearing out quickly. Although youth sports programs are a health benefit to society, they also pose disadvantages to a young person’s growth and development.
Athletic training has evolved into a major influence in athletes’ lives. Growth of the athletic trainer’s role from ancient times to present has been on a tremendous rise of new and better equipment also well-educated individuals to prevent and help athletes when needed. Athletic training has evolved as a major paramedical profession since the 1950, when the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) was formed. The primary purpose for its formation was to establish professional standards for the athletic trainers.
Athletic Trainers play a crucial part in today’s professional sports. They also help on lower levels of sports in high school, and college level teams. The job of an athletic trainer is simple yet very important, they are charged with treating, and preventing injuries. A trainer does this by developing therapies to reduce pain, and improve mobility (“Athletic Trainer Salaries”). They have to stand for long periods of time, work well with athletes of different sizes, move or carry equipment around, good mobility and communication skills to give instructions (“Athletic Trainer, Healthcare Program”). These trainers serve as a crucial part of an athlete getting back into their sport. Athletic trainers usually work under the direction of a physician, so they are like the Doctor’s healing hands in action.
Sports teach kids to learn many life lessons, lessons that will be important such as working in a team or working hard toward a goal. Parents are far too involved in youth sports. In our current time, kids have no independence in sports, everything is parent run, with the intentions of the parent trying to have their kids win and become elite superstars. Atkinson writes in an article that in his home town of Methuen Massachusetts he and all the other kids in his town used to organize all the sports, and parents would help cover the financial part, but the sport itself was directed by the kids, the way youth sports should be run, for the interest of the kids. Kids should determine what goes on; kids should be able to experiment with different sports in a non hostile environment in which they can fun. Having fun is most important in youth sports along with learning life lessons. Kids who enjoyed youth sports growing up were more likely to go onto play high school sports (Atkinson). Of course there are exceptions in which some kids will want to be pushed in a sport; however, it must have the child's desire to be pushed not the parents’(Hatter). Lastly, as important as sports are in society in the 21st century especially in the U.S. kids need to be able to have a life outside of sports. Kids should be able to have fun away from sports (Katen). Kids should be kids, very few kids will be going professional in sports, and it is important kids
What could you do to prepare your kids for success in the future? Sports are one of the best ways to prepare kids for success in the future for many reasons. According to University of Missouri Health Care, “Sports require memorization, repetition, and learning - skill sets that are directly relevant to class work.”(muhealth). Not only do sports help them become better students, but they also prepare them both mentally and physically and teach them multiple life lessons that will better them in the long run. The great thing about sports is that anyone can participate as long as they have the passion for it.

A parent putting his/her child in sports gives the child something to do and keeps them fit. Parents also put their child in a sport hoping that he/she will get success out of it “Eager to nurture the next A-Rod or Michelle Kwan, parents enroll their 5- or 6-year-olds in a competitive sports league or program” (Stenson). While not all parents are pushing for future Olympians, the fight for a sports college scholarship is competitive and parents may feel that their child will have a better chance of gaining one if he/she starts competitive sports early. Parents push their children to succeed, and children—not wanting to disappoint their parents—push themselves, sometimes harder than they should. If done right, pushing a child into sports can have a positive effect on the child’s interaction with other children while teaching them commitment and healthy competition.

Physical education is an important area in schools today. If taught correctly, it can develop physical and mental skills as well as develop a sense of self. By participating in physical activity, a student’s skill will naturally increase to the demands placed upon it. If a student never tries then their skill will never grow. The mental skills one develops in a physical education class are proble...
The main goals behind Sport Education are to help students become knowledgeable about different sports and activities to the point where they can participate in these outside of the classroom to stay active. Also it teaches execution and strategies and encourages competitiveness. It is important for kids to be competitive because they will have to be in life and it will teach the importance of winning and losing the right way. “Sports offer kids a great chance to work cooperatively toward a common goal. And working coope...
Many life lessons can be taught through sports. Children can learn the importance of work ethic, working with others, perseverance, and the list goes on. There are studies that have shown that kids who are involved in athletics are more successful in the business world. It is only when parents turn the sporting events into an ultra-competitive requirement for their child that it can become detrimental. The lessons that sports teach kids about real life is one of the greatest benefits that can be gained from sports. Because so much can be learned through sports we need to make sure that we put focus on teaching lessons through sports rather than making it all about winning. It is a sad when parents turn a great beneficial thing into something that can be harmful for their children.
