What We Do Year Round, Effects How Long Athletes Can Maintain High End Performances • Find your niche/Develop a System • Address Bio-Motor Abilities • What tools are you going to build your tool box around • What role does recovery play in your program • Race with a purpose • Respect the unmeasurable • Don’t plan to Peak!!!
![Page 5: Sprint Training Design - USTFCCCA...Sprint Training Design Early Planning for Championship Racing Calvin Robinson Texas Tech University coach.robinson@ttu.edu Inspiration Growth in](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051810/6019b4f434496423c429006a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
As a Coach, You Have to find you niche
• Art vs Science
• What is the ideal training setup for you and your environment
• Where does your style fall on the spectrum • Short to long vs long to short
• Speed/Power vs Tempo

Address Bio Motor Abilities
• Must give consideration when writing training • Create athletes first!
• Don’t forget the sub-sets
• Importance may vary through out the year but must constantly be addressed
• Volume & Intensity are not bio motor abilities but play key roles in how we manipulate training and glue the pieces together
![Page 7: Sprint Training Design - USTFCCCA...Sprint Training Design Early Planning for Championship Racing Calvin Robinson Texas Tech University coach.robinson@ttu.edu Inspiration Growth in](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051810/6019b4f434496423c429006a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What are the Bio Motor abilities
• Speed
• Strength
• Work Capacity/Endurance
• Flexibility
• Coordination
![Page 8: Sprint Training Design - USTFCCCA...Sprint Training Design Early Planning for Championship Racing Calvin Robinson Texas Tech University coach.robinson@ttu.edu Inspiration Growth in](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051810/6019b4f434496423c429006a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What’s in your Tool Box?
• What tools are you going to use? • Resisted/Assisted sprinting – Speed Builder
• How often do you write training? • Don’t get bored to quickly?
• Are you using these tools in most effective and efficient manner • Important to keep session flow
• Pet Peeve - improper use of tools i.e. Wickets for acceleration

Recovery as a Tool
• What role does recovery play in your program • Is it intentional or accidental?
• How does recovery look and what forms are you using?
• Understand that this is where gains are made
• Also not a bio motor ability but can be just as important
![Page 11: Sprint Training Design - USTFCCCA...Sprint Training Design Early Planning for Championship Racing Calvin Robinson Texas Tech University coach.robinson@ttu.edu Inspiration Growth in](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051810/6019b4f434496423c429006a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Race with Purpose
• Always have a goal for each race you run • Goals can range: Improve technique, qualify, make a final
• Remember that racing is training! • Have to account for workload and provide adequate recovery
• Try to make decisions that benefit both the athlete and the team • What do you do when these don’t align?
![Page 12: Sprint Training Design - USTFCCCA...Sprint Training Design Early Planning for Championship Racing Calvin Robinson Texas Tech University coach.robinson@ttu.edu Inspiration Growth in](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051810/6019b4f434496423c429006a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Unmeasurable
• The Buy-in • When talent meets belief
• Importance of developing a “culture” and group/team dynamic • Athletes feed off of one another
• Mental Toughness • What is it and can it truly be improved?
• Psychological effects of identifying and prepping athletes for the championship season
![Page 13: Sprint Training Design - USTFCCCA...Sprint Training Design Early Planning for Championship Racing Calvin Robinson Texas Tech University coach.robinson@ttu.edu Inspiration Growth in](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051810/6019b4f434496423c429006a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To Peak or not to Peak
• Holds negative connotation of singular point
• What happens if you miss this mystical peak? • Creates cracks in the “buy-in”
• Want to put athletes in a state of heightened readiness that should last for multiple weeks if managed properly
