Overview:
The goal of this article is to make athletes and coaches aware of each of the six essential components of a successful training program and highlight the areas within each that should be addressed and mastered over time. Many of these components will overlap and supplement each other and are not exclusive or solely independent. You will notice that nutrition is not listed as one of the components, as this is in a category all its own.
This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
A training program is more than just an accumulation of volume or training miles. To create a successful program one must incorporate many complicated components, all of which must be combined in the right way in order for an athlete to be successful. In addition to training, an athlete’s work and personal life need to be factored in for long-term success.
