Peak Performance in Sports

 Players and coaches of all levels have always been top-rated for top performance in sports. Although sports athletes are school boys footballers or Olympians who strive for gold medals, high sports performances have always attracted athletes and coaches. In our modern sports age, in which sports science is stratospheric and rising, what factors can lead snow enthusiasts to high performance in sports if adequately applied? Are there secrets to the excellence of sports? Are these factors easily handled for athletes' benefit? This paper discusses the factors that can lead athletes and coaches to high sports performance.

Peak Performance in Sports

Many articles and books detailing principles, programs, factors for success, and so on can lead to top sports performance. Many authors have written extensively about them, and the principles and elements are universal in many ways. There are undisputed reasons for athletes to achieve top performance in sports, based on the principles of progressive resistance, variety, goal-specific training, recovery, etc. This article goes one step further by looking in a different light at these universal factors. In the process, I hope that athletes and coaches alike will practice these principles and the more weighted elements for success and top performance in sports.

There are two sets of factors that we must examine. Aspects technical and human. Let us first look at the previous set of elements;

Factors of technology

1. Preparation of quality

2. Individual mastering skills

1. Preparation of quality

The hard work for any season begins with very intensive pre-season training. Nobody likes this season, as it is often very dull and painful to create and train. But this must be done to prepare the athletes for the rigors of the competitive phase in an optimal way. The volume of endurance, strength, speed, and skill must be achieved. The importance of work and the quality of preparation is vital. When players cut corners and put their heart and soul into training, fatigue, injuries, or sharpness in their performance will be seen later in the contest. Under these circumstances, peak performance in sports cannot be possible. In young sports, the quality of pre-season preparation is even more critical.

Often in schools, many sports start the seasons almost immediately at the start of the school year. Our athletes usually return to school with our children away for a long holiday to compete with very little training time. Team play, gymnastics, and mental preparation should occur within 2-3 weeks, a world of almost impossible and unworkable sports. This kind of preparation is also harmful to our children's development. Coaches and teachers (and parents, if possible) have significant responsibility, under those circumstances, to ensure that our athletes are well prepared for competition. Training programs for sports should be developed and implemented at the end of the year. Our athletes must understand that when their exams are over, their season has effectively begun. Coaches and teachers can then teach athletes about a vocational training program. Every athlete should be able to do something in their break from school to improve their play skills. It could include maintaining a certain fitness standard through endurance activities such as cycling, running or swimming, playing catches and pitching with her siblings in the backyard, or even improving individual skills. The most important thing is to conserve and enhance what was achieved in the previous season to not go back to school and start from scratch. Simply planning and training will ensure that sports teams are prepared for the highest performance in sport later on.
