La définition de la folie, cest refaire
toujours la même chose en sattendant à un
résultat différent.

• The definition of insanity is doing the same
  thing over and over and expecting different
  results.

Paradigm Shifts in Coaching

• Functional training
• Warm up and stretching
• Transfer of strength
• Speed training
• Female athletes hormonal adaptations
• Coaching the developmental athlete

• Periodization
• Coaching the elite athlete the diminishing
  return phase
• Regeneration
• Chrono-nutrition / hydration
• Hygiene or immuno reaction

12
What is a Paradigm ?

• One that is worthy of imitation or duplication
  (Rogets)
• An example or a pattern
• We all have our own paradigms
• Resistant to change?
• "Your past success guarantees nothing !"
• Back to insanity

13
Paradigm Shifts in Coaching 1Functional
Training

• Is integrated, multi-planar movement that
  involves acceleration, deceleration and
  stabilization.
• Most conditioning programmes are uniplanar
• Very little is dedicated core stabilisation
  training and eccentric training in all three
  planes of motion (sagittal, frontal and
  transverse Clark 2001.p.261)

Integrated Training

• Core stabilization training
• Neuromuscular stabilization training
• Multi-planar training
• Training with optimum posture
• Training for optimum muscle balance
• Training for optimal muscle function
• Training for optimal muscle contraction spectrum
• Core stabilization is the foundation upon which
  all other aspects of integrated training are
  based.

16
Kinetic chain

• Is an integrated functional unit. The kinetic
  chain is made up the soft tissue system (muscle,
  ligament, tendon and fascia), neural system, and
  articular system.
• Each of these systems works independently to
  allow structural and functional efficiency. If
  any of the systems do not work efficiently,
  compensations and adaptations occur in the other
  systems.
• These compensations and adaptations lead to
  tissue overload, decreased performance and
  predictable patterns of injury.

17
Implications

• Huge implication - immediate action needed !
• Rehabilitation - well done
• Prehabilitiation - prevention ?
• Preventative sport medicine?
• Musculo-skeletal screening
• Body alignment (foot, ankle, knee, hip,
  vertebrae, shoulder)
• Muscle imbalances
• Optimal flexibility ranges (ROM)
• Regular and frequent screening before maturation
• Regular yearly screening after maturation
• Sport medical passport / report card?

18
Paradigm Shifts in Coaching 2.Warm up and
Stretching

• Objectives of warm up ?
• Flexibility / Stretching (static, ballistic, PNF,
  dynamic mobility)

19

• Stretching practice
• Current research demonstrates that static
  stretching prior to dynamic activity decrease
  motor unit recruitment, motor unit
  synchronization and rate of force production.
• Thus, no static stretching during warm up
• Do it after cool down or as part of cooling down
• Or 2 hours prior or after training and/or
  competition activities.
• Why ?

20
Paradigm Shifts in Coaching 3.

• Transfer of strength and power
• Little research and knowledge on transfer
• Greg Wilson, 1995 Northern Star University
• Daniel Baker, ARL
• Ian King, Brisbane
• Complex training

21
Paradigm Shifts in Coaching 4.

• Speed training all year round!
• Assisted ( acceleration )
• Resisted ( fly )
• Regular
• Complex ( mixed a combination of assisted,
  resisted and regular training depending on short
  term training objectives )
• When?
