Incorporating Periodization into the High School Track Season

"Failing to plan is planning to fail." In this Track clinic presentation, Vern Gambetta walks you through the steps to planning a successful season for your track team. He discusses contemporary challenges like getting athletes fit at the beginning of the season, intensity of practices and growth and development. Gambetta also talks about the 5 S's: Speed, strength, stamina, suppleness and skill and how to break you season down into week by week planning to improve the 5 S's. Finally, Gambetta outlines considerations to look at when developing a plan, a contingency plan and several keys to develop your teams' training sessions. Have a reason, and a purpose, for everything you do each day!
