Mission and Coaching Principles

We are committed to maximizing the time, and energy coaches have to spend on training, performance, and education. You will find training tips and refined techniques from elite coaches to gain a competitive edge and reach your full potential.

Many countries have an educational system and methods for teaching sports such as track and field. In China, for example, the basic coaching principles are taken from the world’s governing body of athletics, which include general principles of exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports psychology, methodology, and other beliefs that allow coaches to not only know what to teach but the how and why of sports skills (Zhoung, 2010).

Coaching blends the principles and methods of pedagogy, psychology, kinesiology, physiology, biomechanics, motor learning, together with other scientific and unscientific concepts, theories, and approaches to maximize athletic performance. Coaching involves developing motor abilities, cognitive abilities, and psychological abilities to build the total athlete. 

Our programs help develop the necessary coaching skills for success.
