PaceSetter Book

Offering competitive opportunities is also important to the learning process of the youngster, but the emphasis in this book is placed on assertion rather than aggression. There are many examples of competitive activities provided that are based around team competition rather than individual performances. It is not and should not be the intention to produce young individual champions in this age group, but rather to protect and guide the youngsters to maintain their interest for future years. Other features of the book include details and ideas on warm-up activities appropriate for youngsters, basic guidance on the skills associated with officiating competitions that include young athletes and information based around organising an event. Pacesetter – Working with Young Athletes should prepare coaches with all the skills required to lead a training session for youngsters and is an ideal resource for those wishing to combine fun with the initial stages in athlete development.
