More knowledge I will apply the content of this continuing education course to improve sessions.
Improve of knowledge. I will apply on a daily basis adapted to training program.
I learned a ton about soccer. I didn?t have much knowledge about the sport, but now I have a good understanding of what specifically goes on during a match (length of running versus walking for example) and then I can use this information to create a program for someone training for soccer.
I can use many of the principles of this course with clients strength training programming both on and off-season. It also has great ideas on how to improve weak links in performance and technique and how to build progressions in training for these. These principles work as well with other athletes in different sports, who need similar performance quality improvement.
I am very impressed by the entire presentation of this course. As a trainer, it was refreshing to find that the program was so well rounded with discussions on dynamic exercises, static stretching, energy planning, injury prevention, sport specific drills, etc. The visual component enhanced my learning experience. I would recommend this course to any trainer, coach and therapist etc. wishing to enhance their level of training and skills for teaching.
