MONITORING AN ATHLETE’S WELL-BEING DURING TRAINING
William O. Roberts M.D., M.S, FACSM, ACSM President-elect
Coaching, much like parenting, involves guiding an athlete through the trials and tribulations of training. Instructions given to bring an athlete to peak performance can be misunderstood or ignored, similar to the parenting experience. Athletes who follow the instructions and work the individualized training program usually do well and live up to their genetic potential. Those who “fail” either do too little to advance, push beyond the prescribed training regimen, or misinterpret coaching instructions. Like parenting, part of coaching is the day-to-day field monitoring before, during, and after practice that helps optimize an athlete’s program and keeps the athlete on the path to top competitive form.
