Coaches who get into individual program design often start because they enjoy the process of, well, writing programming. However, any experienced coach knows the grind of falling behind on writing training and staying up late on a Sunday evening churning out the final few programmes for the following week.
A good process is important if you want to continue to enjoy programming. If you can stay organised and avoid crunch time situations, you can avoid burnout as a coach and better serve your athletes.
In this episode, we take a zoomed out look at how we write and organise programming. We also discuss some of the (many…) mistakes we have made along the way. We explain how we balance writing programming in advance while also staying adaptable to weekly changes that athletes need. Check out the next part of our series on remote coaching to learn a bit more about how we write training for our athletes.
