I now have a lot more knowledge on speed and agility training, starting from the basics until a pretty advanced level. I have more ideas for drills and exercises that my athletes can execute. I also know better why these exercises are important and how to explain this to my clients. Before starting this course I used to do many speed and agility exercises myself, but I never really took time to understand why these exercises were important. As a coach, you need to be able to answer all questions your clients might have about the exercises and other things related to performance/health/diet. I am more confident as a coach thanks to this course. I will show my clients that I know what I’m doing and that they can trust me as a coach. I now know exactly how to train my clients, how to make my business interesting and attractive, and how to keep my clients by building a good relationship with them. I learned that (SMART) goal setting is extremely important, just as personalization of my services. Staying professional with the goal to help clients reach their (athletic/health) goals, making them feel satisfied and happy.
Excellent drills, skills and challenge ideas including the ?how to?s? of setup, timing/scoring, coaching tips, and the worksheets to run the activities.
Highly recommend. The material presented in this course is a great resource which can be used for any fitness level, various sports and populations.
Clearly outlines how to use agility, speed, coordination, balance and reaction time drills to work with athletes, nonathletes, and other populations.
