Evolution of an Athlete

Eventually all athletes evolve to the same place. The growth process is not always direct.


Stage 1. Youth Athlete- Limit competition, practice free play more than controlled organized play. Learn to move, move to learn.

Stage 2. JR Athlete- Narrow the sport focus. Special Movement

Stage. 3 Amateur Athlete- Has the best chance to excel to the next stage. Specific Movement

Stage. 4 Professional Athlete- Winning is not everything it's the only thing. High levels of Competitive Movements.

Stage. 5 Active Athlete- This relates to former high levels competitive athletes adjusting to sports without high- levels of competition.
