238: Athletic development paradigm

Where do you start when training athletic development for a new sport or athlete? Vern Gambetta's athletic development paradigm gives coaches a 4-pronged analytic tool to make sure you develop a plan that fits the sport, position, and athlete. On this week's GAINcast he breaks down all four elements with examples from his experience working in a variety of sports at the highest level.

We also discussed analyzing sport demands in more detail back on GAINcast 17. Our new article also looks at the concept of "similar is not the same" and how that is both good and bad for training. Our most recent HMMR Classroom Video Lesson 31 looks in detail at advanced specific strength concepts as well.
