One of the key factors in a young athlete's continuation with a strength training and conditioning program revolves around the effectiveness of the conditioning supervisor or strength coach. The strength coach should view him, or herself, as both an educator and a motivator.
- The educational role involves teaching the athletes about different weight training exercises. why the exercises are important to their sport, and about basic physiological principles to gaining and maintaining strength.
- The motivation function involves regular encouragement pushing the athlete toward meaningful challenge.
These are also keys to why the ASAP; Athletic Strength And Power program works so well. The strength trainers and personal trainers continue to push the athletes toward goals in accordance with the athlete's physical and mental maturity level. They know about education and they know about motivation.
