Seventy percent of kids drop out of sports before their high school graduation. Only 15% leave because they feel they are not good enough. Almost 70% leave because they were not having fun, or due to problems with the coach. Injuries cause 30% to give up sports. This course is packed full of practical sports science information that provide youth coaches and parents with the practical pediatric sports science insights to successfully retain young athletes and develop their sport potential while avoiding injury and overtraining. We begin by examining the multidimensional nature of coaching, the relevant sport motor performance abilities, the impact of growth and development on motor skills, the gene versus practice controversy, and briefly overview the body structures strengthened through training. Then we explore the athlete's energy supply, where this energy comes from, and how it matures along with the athlete. Finally, we examine the development of strength, power, anaerobic capacity, coordination and flexibility through the life span.

Principais avaliações do THE SCIENCE OF TRAINING YOUNG ATHLETES
This class is an excellent resource for coaches of any sport. It will change your coaching perspective and show you how to coach each individual athlete.
An in-depth view of the course in the areas of body, muscle and cell chemistry as it affects an athlete's performance was deeply addressed.
A good re-introduction to a lot of concepts I learned in university. It's time to apply them again (20+ years later) to my coaching activities.
if you are interested in the science of training athletes this course could be the best choice.
I am extremely grateful to you "Dr. Chris Brooks"
