Tuesday June 29, 2010

 

This newsletter purpose is to provide updated information to the coaches on Judo Canada and the World of judo. If you would like to have club coaches from your province on a mailing list, please mail to me their email address: beaton_judocan@yahoo.ca

 

The bi-weekly update is a service that I will provide to the Western Provinces and Territories on behalf of Judo CanadaWhether the update is distributed to clubs under your jurisdiction, is at the discretion of your Provincial/Territorial Associations. I appreciated the chance to impact development of judo in Western Canada and thank you for your support.  Do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions.   

 

IMPORTANT:

The Western Canada Bi-Weekly update will return on August 04, 2010

 

A)   LTDM: Long Term Developmental Model

 

Yearly Training Plan:

The yearly training plan will become more important for judo coaches and clubs as you are implementing the Long Term Developmental Model ideas into your program. It will be important to develop your yearly plan in July and August to help guide you through the 2010 / 2011 season. It will be important to develop a plan each judo classes and if you have an outstanding athlete you should develop a plan for the athlete that works within your training plan of your club.

 

      Importance of a Yearly Plan:

      It is important to have a yearly plan because it can help keep you on track  

      during the busy year and at the end of the yearly you can measure and 

      review what went well and what needs to be changed. The plan can be

      complex or simple > having a plan is better than not having anything at all.

      Most judo coaches in Canada do not coach as a profession so if you spend

      some time in the  summer working on the yearly plan, monthly plan, weekly

      plans and individual practice plans then during the year it only takes a little

      adaptations and less work when it is busy.

 

Important Aspects to developing a Yearly Plan:

1)    Goals

Make sure to outline the goals for yourself as a coach, your club and have a meeting with you athletes about their individual goals. Knowing this will help you develop a plan to help everyone improve.

 

2)    Qualification/training competitions & training camps

Important know what competition and training camps that the athletes will need to be at to qualify for nationals or World Championships. The goals should be to qualify and then be good at the important competitions.

 

3)    Major/Peaking Competitions

These competitions are the important events in which the athletes and the clubs training should be tailored around. You want the athletes to be at their best at these competitions.

 

4)    Budget

You need to make the best plan within the financial resources that each athlete and the club has. It is important that it is realistic and that it supports the athletes and coaches development.

 

Note: Athletes that are showing potential should be attending 3-5 national training camps a year with a club coach or a provincial coach to help guide them.

 

5)    Plan for your clubs / program reality

You need to work within the reality of your own judo club. If you only have the capacity to run your judo program 2 x a week then you need to develop a program to the needs of the volume and intensity needed in the LTDM.

 

Example of an U17 athlete that club only runs judo 2 x a week :

2 x a week judo / 2 x a week fitness / 3 x a week strength / 1-2 x week wrestling or jujitsu

 

6)    Find Help

Be humble as a coach; if you struggle developing weight training or fitness programs then find a personal trainer that can help develop programs for your athletes. This is the same with nutrition, sport psychology, etc…

 

Important: Coaches should do work/research ahead of time – meet the trainers, nutritionist, sport psychologist, etc…before the athletes and educate them about judo is and the needs of your program and athletes.

 

7)    Be ready to adapt the plan

It is okay to make changes in the plan as the year develops!

 

8)    Plan Rest

Important to talk to athlete and parents about rest time and how it works within a yearly plan. It is important to talk to parents so they can then plan their vacation during a rest time for the club and athletes and not in the middle of a peak training time.

F)   Sport Science

 

What if there really was a way for everybody to easily make weight in judo? No more hassle, no more running around with trash bags? No more frustration the day of the competition: "am I going to make it or not"? "When is the official weigh-in opening, so I can finally eat?!" All this would disappear, wouldn't it be great? There must be a way to step on the scale without worries.

Just think about yourself for one moment, that you are a number one racing car. How do the mechanics handle it? What is the attention they are putting in the tires, the steering wheel, in every single detail? What kind of fuel are they using? And here is the main point: the fuel. If it would be just the regular one, do you think it would be possible to reach the top performances we get to see? Certainly not.

A way to make weight in judo at all times is to optimize your nutrition, to follow a balanced way between food intake and exercise, to get the right fuel and to pay attention to all little details as if you were that number one racing car. 

 

As a judoka you know, that all the techniques are based on balance's laws, on preventing the action of the opponent, the same principles should be applied to the fuel intake.

TREAT YOUR BODY LIKE AN OUTSTANDING RACING CAR, GET THE RIGHT FUEL IT DESERVES, IN ORDER TO ALWAYS BE AT YOUR PEAK PERFORMANCE!
