The 10 keys to keeping your athlete healthy...

1. Stress Management
People get hurt because their system is unable to cope
with the level of stress that they are getting exposed to.
People never get hurt by accident. Even when
something seems accidental, my belief is that the body
is smart and finds ways to protect itself from overload.

2. Multi-dimensionaility of Stress
Dont get trapped into thinking that training stress is the
only type of stress. I always talk to my athletes about the
bath tub with several taps coming into it. Each tap
represents a different stressor in your life: training;
relationships; money; car issues; travelling etc,. The bath
tub will over flow if all the taps are on. It is the same with
the body. It doesnt distinguish between stressors. So be
very aware of the whole picture around your athlete.

.....
If they have a lot of stress going in their life, adjust the
training load.
If their mechanics are poor
(until their mechanics improve of course).
If they have banged up tissue
If their joint system isnt functioning right on that dayIf they have had a long-haul flight two days before
.....
It doesnt mean less training.
It means using the training options you have in front of you
to make sure they survive that particular training day.
You have to accept that certain changes are long-term in
nature (mechanical, tissue, joint changes) so in the
shortterm
you have to be very smart in the training loads you
expose your athletes to whilst you work on resolving the
longer term issues.
..
There are a thousand different signals that the body is not
coping. Colds, cramps, ground contact quality changes
etc,. You just have to be observant enough to read the
signs. You also have to be emotionally removed to allow
yourself to accept the signs. Conformational bias and
denial can lead to you building a picture you want to see.
Dont be that guy.
6. Quality of Soft-tissue
Work constantly on the quality and capacity of your joint
system and soft tissue. This is your insurance policy. We
are in the business of producing the largest possible forces
in the shortest possible times. This is hard and stressful
task. Overload will and needs to happen. But conditioned
tissue and joints will be able to deal with things much more
efficiently than banged up tissue and poor functioning
joints.
7. Good Mechanics
As above we are in the business of producing the largest
possible forces in the shortest possible times. Good
mechanics can help you optimise this. And will allow you to
be more efficient at doing this. So constantly work on the
technical aspects of your event. In the long run, the
improved efficiency will also allow you to achieve
significantly more training load by reducing the stress on
the body. And more training at the appropriate speeds will
make you run faster.
..
Some people operate on the basis of the people who
survive and dont break are the ones that are going to be
successful. Or the season you get through and survive is
worth the ones that you dont. So as a coach you need to
decide your philosophy.
If you have a huge talent pool, then choosing the short term
strategy might be appropriate. In situations of smaller
talent reserves then you might need to get your tight rope
out and walk the line.
