Training 101

I believe in being strong in all 10 physical skill.

1. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance- The ability of the body systems to gather, process, and transport oxygen.

2. Stamina- The ability of the body to process, store, deliver, and utilize energy.

3. Strength- The ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscular units to apply force.

4. Flexibility- The ability of maximizing range of motion at a given joint.

5. Power- The ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscular units to apply maximum force in minimum time.

6. Speed- The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.

7. Coordination- The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.

8. Agility- The ability to minimize transition time between one movement pattern to another.

9. Accuracy- The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.

10. Balance- The ability to control the placement of the bodies’ center of gravity in relation to its’ support base.

The reason for this is, that you as an athlete will be more equipped for your sport or day to day activities when you are strong in all 10 skills. You will see that in many sports the athlete will have their strengths in 3 or 4 of these skills. When working on theses skills you will be a more all-round athlete more suitable for your task at hand.
