stage” where behavior becomes natural and unforced (Martens, 164-166). Therefore, athletes should learn a technique through their own proper spatial awareness and change it relative to their body mechanics and structure rather than memorize a set pattern that a world champion in the past has used.
Tactics also need to be learned because a thinking athlete oftentimes will win over another athlete that does not know the game situations in times of adversity. Firstly, athletes need to know how to “read the situation” by developing the cognitive skills that are relative to their position (Martens, 182). For instance, a shooting guard in basketball does not need to be as skilled at posting up as a center does, so he should be spread more to the …show more content…
Aerobic fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility need to be balanced into a variable, progressive program. Martens explains that specificity of training drills, overload of progressions, constant variation, moderation of training, and adapting to one’s individual differences offset the negative training principles of diminishing returns and reversibility which occur if the former mentioned principles are not utilized properly (Martens, 240-241). The energy systems also need to be used at the right time in training for a positive training effect to occur. The anaerobic system is called upon with fast, quick events that occur without oxygen, last 10 seconds or less, and sometimes produce lactic acid as a byproduct through ATP and creatine phosphate synthesis (Martens, 247-248). In contrast, the aerobic system is used in events of longer duration like marathon running, and it breaks down carbs, fat, and protein and utilizes mostly oxygen (Martens, 249). Therefore, heart rate monitors and intensity calculations should be used to determine what type of energy system someone is using for a particular mode of exercise. To further insure effective practice an aerobic and dynamic warm up should be performed first, followed by heavy strength and power exercises then accessory muscle endurance exercises, and finally a cool down and flexibility routine should be pursued …show more content…
The coach is also the one responsible for developing a proper team culture to create a cooperative successful team. Positive enforcement should be utilized, and all success should be encouraged through intrinsic means rather than through extrinsic objects. Intrinsic goals make a player feel achieved, and they will encourage a player to continue with a sport as long as he or she can. Cooperation and moral skill building should be more important to a coach than power or command. A coach with a sound philosophy knows how to lead, manage, behave, teach, and train his players to the best of his ability not only for sport, but for
