Athletes will take part in a training program at various points in their careers. When introducing movements and drills, be sure to recognize the stage of motor learning that they are currently in. By understanding motor learning, and the process by which athletes acquire skill, we can better integrate programming, and improve results, while creating realistic expectations.
After the last presentation, we’ll be hosting a Question & Answer session for the audience and presenters, allowing for collaboration and discussion about the topics that were discussed.
