Aspects of Sport Development
Agility
The athlete's ability to change direction based on their visual perception of the environment surrounding them i.e. defenders on court/field. This a vital and often overlooked element of sports performance
Strength/Power/ Speed
Strength training qualities that are synonymous with sports performance, but can be expressed in different actions. Jumping is the physical expression of power, blocking or grappling can be considered an expression of strength, and max velocity sprint can be an expression of all 3. All are dependent on the athlete's central nervous system.
Resiliency
Physical resiliency is being able to recover quickly from game to game or from practice to game. Mental resiliency is the athlete's ability to keep composure in a stressful or unfavorable scenario in a game, and execute the appropriate skills at the correct time.
