Athletes have their rights

Dear all,

I would like to touch on the topic on ATHLETE'S RIGHTS.

It have brought to my attention that athletes is obligated to do the exercises designed by coaches that is not improving the athletes performance but in actual fact contributing to an undesirable movement not specific to the sports.

Before any exercises is being introduced in or during any training, athletes have the right to ask questions on the objectives of the exercises.

Coaches must explain to the athletes the objectives of the exercises or drills before they are told to do. Any exercises or drill patterns must be sports specific in either strategically, tactically, technically, physically and mentally.

We must all know that our daily training activities must be specific so that during competition the athlete is able to bring their training performance into the game.

We must also be aware that during our daily training we are indoctrinating movement patterns into the athletes. Any wrong movement patterns not specific to the sports will bring the athlete to his failure in performance.

Trained to Train
