Enhancing Athletic Performance Through Tailored Coaching
Tailored coaching focuses on individual athlete needs to enhance performance. Each athlete responds differently to training volume and intensity, and understanding these responses is crucial for effective coaching. By analyzing data and customizing training plans, coaches can identify what works best for each athlete, whether they are volume responders or intensity responders. This personalized approach not only improves performance but also helps prevent injuries by ensuring athletes do not overextend themselves beyond their limits.
