Long Term Athlete Development

1-Active Beginning: 0-6 age group. This group needs 60' of exercise per day. 25% of this time is spent playing under the leadership of the Coach, and 75% of this time is spent by the child playing under his own leadership. The focus is on locomotor skills and object control. Games are supported in air, land, water, ice and snow.

2-Basic Education: 6-8 age group for women and 6-9 age group for men. The child spends 75% of the 60-year period playing under his own leadership. The remaining 25% is managed by the coach. In this part, the general ABCs of training (agility, balance, coordination, speed) are taught, with exercises based on fair play, sports etiquette and respect for others. It is necessary to study swimming by focusing on:

Agility

Balance

Coordination

Speed

Running

Jumping

Throwing

Kinestetiscs - Kinesthesia

Gliding

Buoyancy - Unsinkability

Striking with the body

Catching

Kicking - Foot kick

3-Learning to Exercise: The age group is 8-11 for women and 9-12 for men. In sports branches that require late specialization, early specialization harms the later stages of skill development. Therefore, children at this stage are developmentally ready to acquire general sports skills, which are the cornerstones of all athletic development. In this phase, the athlete completes the behavioral patterns and athlete ethics that he will display towards the rules and regulations required by a sports environment. Work in various sports branches (air, land, water, ice, snow) is supported. (The importance of the triathlon branch can be clearly seen in this section.) Body weight and resistance band exercises can be started. In this section, all exercises for the simplified version of an elite level training program are rehearsed and the principles of training are taught to the athlete. All other training components such as athlete health, nutrition and psychology should also be given in this section. The child is encouraged to pursue three different branches. All branches are given equal importance. He must train twice a week for each branch. A single or double periodization training plan can be made. Training for the race is 30%, training for the race is 70%. Studies are carried out from time to time, but official records are not kept.


4-Training for training: 11-15 age group for women and 12-16 age group for men. This is the part where the child can be an athlete or not. The podium journeys of children with elite performance potential begin here. Children who do not have this potential either continue on their path with a lifelong understanding of sports or quit sports. Specialization begins in the branch and the content of the training programs is customized in one or two branches. Since the peak height growth rate occurs during this period, physical development of children should be monitored along with hormonal changes. Training for the race is 40%, training for the training is 60%. 60% of the general training should be done in the main branch and 40% in the other branch. 6-9 training sessions can be performed per week. In addition to periodic studies, tests are performed and official records are kept.

5-Training for the Competition: Covers the age group of 15-17+ for women and 16-18+ for men. The content of the training program is expanded according to the performance levels of the athlete groups. 9-12 workouts can be done per week. In this part, the athlete participates in regional and national level competitions. Competition experience is at the beginning level. Training for the race is 60%, training for the race is 40%. This part is where the athlete now has all the motivation to reach the elite level in a certain branch.



6-Training to Win: Covers the age group 23+ for women and 23+ for men. It is the part where the athlete works with all performance parameters, receiving support from all sports personnel as much as possible. In this part, the athlete masters issues such as warming up, cooling down, hydration, nutrition, rest, recovery and regeneration. 9-12 workouts can be done per week. Training for the race is 70%, training for the race is 30%. The studies here continue until the athlete retires and is replaced by a lifelong understanding of sports.



7-Training for Active Life: This is the last part of the model. It covers all age groups. The athlete has a lifelong understanding of sports for an active life.
