17.01.2022 The preparatory or pre-season phase of a sport's year/season is important. It marks the start or progression towards competition and games. The pre-season/s of kids and youth will be most effective when: 1 preparing them for the upcoming season, and 2 establishing *habits* that make them better young people and better athletes in the future. Here are key athletic development principles to maximise pre-season for your kids/youth:... keep the "youth" (development) in youth sports educate (teach/coach) at all levels "skill" refers to physical, mental, game (tactical) and SOCIAL skills - the latter based upon values, principles and appropriate behaviour U6, U8 & U10s, in most cases (dependent upon sport), don't require a pre-season. Have them experience multiple activities and play multiple sports across a year U12 & U14 will benefit from brief developmentally appropriate pre-seasons (given Australian summers for Winter sports), especially when built on above. Ensure a skill, speed and body-awareness focus U14 and U16 will benefit more from developmentally and part "sport-specific" pre-seasons (when based upon above), NOT adult nor watered-down (u18) adult pre-season loads, content & methods

16.01.2022 There are a number of key elements to being able to get around at home, at work and on the sport's field, court or paths successfully. The main one is AGILITY - the ability to adapt your movement to environment or context. Key points to AGILITY for youth:... Agility - the ability to adjust of adapt to context. Reactive agility has defensive and offensive components. Defensive agility aims to slow things down (and create certainty in context). Offensive agility, to change speed (and create uncertainty in context). Agility: is an inherent part of play, is integral in small-sided games etc differs significantly to running around cones/hats/poles (altho this has a role in aspects of development, training & rehabilitation) requires different strength elements (especially eccentric and reactive strength) has decision-making (and, hence, anticipation) elements, and can be improved

12.01.2022 "what about training regimes for juniors right now? "...many sports people are never going to recover after CV-19. I wonder how many juniors are keeping up a training regime in these times?" [source known] Juniors are juniors. Kids (<10) and junior athletes will bounce back. And fast.... They're unlikely to "need" to keep up a "training regime" though. For many juniors, and all are in the same boat, a break - physical, mental and emotional - for only a few months may do them more good than harm right now, as they , and the adults around them, adapt to what is a challenging situation and times. Skills around resilience, problem solving, agility, adaptation, critical thinking, and responsibility and consequence around "choice" are more important skills now than those related to (specifics of) junior sport. That said, it would be great if kids, youth and adults were to keep up an "activity" level (>10-12K steps/day) that maintains physical and mental well-being. Health before fitness before performance However, challenging times bring times of opportunity too. For those that choose, basic movement elements - ABCs (agility, balance, coordination) and activities involving challenge, fun and basic strength, basic speed and basic endurance will hold them in good stead when their sport returns. Regimes, routines and rituals aren't necessary right now for many juniors, yet regularity will help
