LTPD Flashcards
LTPD:
a framework to maximize a player’s potential and long-term involvement in sport over the course of their life
4 principles of LTPD:
- doing the right thing for the player at the right stage in their development
- adopting a athlete-centred approach and not treating the development of all players the same way
- the broader the foundation of players the more successful the game of hockey will be in Canada
- viewing player development as a long term process
For parents, LTPD facilitates understanding of:
- physical, mental, cognitive, & emotional development
- hydration, nutrition, recovery
- assisting the child to choose a path of PA
For coaches, LTPD facilitates understanding of:
- stages of athlete development
- appropriate interventions at each stage
Impact of LTPD on players:
- Helps with confidence (focus on development rather than competitive success) = learning experience
- Support, education to live healthy lifestyle at a young age, more likely to adhere for life
- Target a greater population (not minority that plays 4+ sports)
- Negative: might want more focus on one (trade-off)
5 key LTPD standards:
- communication
- implementation strategy
- coach & player education
- structure for optimal development
- review & assess the execution of LTPD
Communication consists of:
communicate the HC LTPD plan and documentation to all league executives, MHA executives, parents, coaches
Implementation strategy consists of:
plan how you will communicate and implement LTPD to your members and associations
Coach & player education consists of:
- coach/players education from leagues/MHA
- opportunity to improve themselves (clinics, skill camps, continuing education)
Structure for optimal development consists of:
- MHA/leagues must review seasonal structure of games/playoffs
- make adjustments to provide optimal development opportunities
Review & assess the execution of LTPD consists of:
establishment of review group to make sure MH programming is on course
Drawback in current development:
- adult programs imposed on children (nets too big, ice too big etc.)
- children not having fun
- no systematic development of next generation of successful athletes
- failure to reach optimal performance levels
- over-competing, under training
- male training programs imposed on females
- chronological rather than developmental age used in training and competition planning
- coaches neglect critical periods of accelerated adaptation to training (ages 9-12)
