The title, strength and conditioning coach, may prove to be a misnomer, as the
responsibilities of the job must go beyond the scope of what the title simply implies.
The coach must ensure that any sportsman under his/her guidance receive much
more than physical development, if that sportsman is to eventually realize his/her
potential. The integration of physical, psychological, tactical, and technical
preparation to suit sportsmen of varying disciplines, of varying levels of preparation
and qualification in their process of attaining sport mastery is of primary importance
for any coach, regardless of his or her “formal” title. With this said, all coaches must
collaborate when implementing and monitoring their athlete’s training.
It is imperative that any coach carry out continued examination of the sportsman
under his care with careful, critical attention being placed on the training process in
its organic whole. “Control over the course of training can only be effective if one
carries-out regular observations of the dynamics of the sportsman’s state” (1).
Conclusions may be formulated, or solutions to various training problems can be
postulated, based on the resultant outcomes of how the team and/or individual
athletes react to the training methodic(s). This objective scrutiny may steer the
coach away from the, “I do what was done in the past” mentality, which forgoes any
3
logic of training science, or the all too common dogmatic trends that create “instant
excellence”, which consumes the industry and hebetates basic, yet effective forms of
exercise.
Therefore, the principal aim of this guidance is to document, organize and monitor
the athlete’s training in a quick and efficient manner. It is meant to manage and
highlight the various aspects of training, by questioning the training process, and
thereby keeping the coach aware of the athlete’s past, present and future training
state.
