Description

Sport is one of life’s greatest forms of expression—the opportunity to showcase your creativity, your artistry, the individual within. As coaches, why do we so often place athletes all in the same box? Or in a fitness setting, why is every person given the same ‘beginner’ programme over and over? Much like placing a bird in a cage, if we never truly understand the individual, they will never know their wings are supposed to be used to fly. In this book, we look at how we can create an individual approach when working with athletes. Understanding their physical characteristics, emotional reactions and cognitive responses to training are key aspects of coaching. This book will help you unlock the door to a person’s individual potential. This book looks at how we create a structure to suit the individual, not forcing an individual into our structure. It is a vital concept to look at and understand no matter what your sporting background is. Whether you are a coach or an athlete, there are concepts here that will help you improve your understanding towards taking an individual approach and how you can improve the people you work with, build better relationships and create systems to suit them. Jamie Geraghty has written this book, Ireland’s first representative in the WSWCF Calisthenics World Cup Super-Final, and he has developed the largest Calisthenics Club in the country. He has created the first Athlete Development Pathway for the sport, and his courses and programmes have been implemented in clubs and schools across the country.
