feb.06.2008 National and club coaches who lack a basic understanding of how to write a training and peaking programme are doing a disservice to their athletes or team says Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) president Larry Romany. Romany was explaining why the upcoming TTOC planning and periodization course for coaches is an important and ongoing coach development initiative for the national Olympic Committee. The planning and periodization course is a follow up to one held last year. According to Romany periodization is simply planning that gives direction and purpose to training.
