Martin Camiré

In this presentation, we present five simple strategies coaches can use to facilitate athlete development through sport.

Concrete examples of activities these coaches implemented in their coaching practice are provided in addition to some of the challenges they confronted when implementing these activities. They can be applied by sport coaches working with adolescent‐aged youth in a variety of settings and provide coaches with useful tools to promote LTAD's objective of optimizing the holistic development of athletes.
