Tips for Conducting Successful Training Sessions

  • Assign assistant coaches their roles and responsibilities in accordance to your training plan.
  • When possible, have training stations prepared before the athletes arrive.
  • Introduce and acknowledge coaches and athletes.
  • Review intended program with everyone. Keep athletes informed of changes in schedule or activities.
  • Have a weather contingency plan.
  • Keep drills and activities brief so athletes do not get bored.  Keep everyone busy with an exercise, even if it is rest.
  • Make sure you keep fun as an element of your training session.
  • Summarize the session and announce arrangements for next session.
