The Development of Young Players • Correct training at the correct age. • Right trainer at the right age. Educating our trainers (first trainer is the most important) on the physiological and mental process of how children develop • Looking 3-5 years ahead in organising the different areas like strokes, footwork etc. • Our experiences from practice & tournaments (Euros U19 + Kelly/Richard etc) • WBU relationship with the clubs • Parents’ education
10 000 hour rule • To compete internationally at a high level it requires a minimum of 10 000 hours of intense training- 3 hours training everyday for 10 years. • European players 26 years • China 18.5 years
Age related training + - 2 years • 5-8 years old * main focus is on motor skill training. * ABC very receptive = Agility, balance & coordination exercises * difficulty in focusing during long periods (important with the right trainer= first trainer) • 8-13 years (U11-U13) * main focus is on fundamentals in footwork & strokes * very receptive to tune motor skills & sport specific technical work * doesn’t take failure well • 13-15 years (U15-U17) * main focus is on technical & more tactical training * receptive for aerobic training & preparation for weight training (growing heart & muscle mass) • 15-18 years (U17-U19) * main focus is building up the physical fundamentals * preparation for the transfer into senior badminton – technical, physically and mentally on an individual basis * injury report studies show that kids who have played other sports at an early age have a lower risk of being injured-* 66.2% been injured versus 33.8%
Tactical advice • Before puberty(8-13years)- tactical advice should be logical & simple. The brain does not understand abstract notions, does not think long term & learn sytematically from experience. • 13-15 years (U15-U17)- puberty closes in the brain begins to think logically,operatively & can understand sequences of a game. Caoch can give advice on simple patterns in the game and discuss simple weaknesses & strengths of opponents with the player. Begins to understand rules & regulations • 15-18 years (U17-U19)- can think systematically and learn from experiences on court. Start to do more in depth analysis of their own game , can make tactical changes and relate to the setting up of training goals & methods.
Technical stages 5-8 years (U9) Basic technique • Body ABC (Agility/Balance/Coordination) • Basic technique – grip/hit/throw/catch/kick 8-13 (U11-U13) Train All the basic shots • Intro to all basic technique. Important that all basic strokes are practised at some point. • Important that a central grip/technique is developed in order to have the ability to create new strokes/ increase the level 13-15 (U15-U17) Tempo/Accuracy/Deception • Tempo brought into the excercises + the accuracy • Start training more shots in the players’ own category – doubles & mxd 15-18 (U17-U19) Speed/Power, Deception, Consistency & Individualistaion
How do we do it on court? • The technical ladder/start at level 1 and work up- (Technique plan) • Perfect practice- every practice as good as it can be (how to practice). Denmark’s model with parents feeding on Saturdays??? • Primary focus areas (individualised trainer) • Making the player his own help trainer/trainer (how to think badminton)
