PROGRAMMING ALERT
Practical programming for young strength coaches

oung coaches must
grasp simple training
concepts, such as
progression and overloading.
While all experiences should
help them build out their
coaching toolbox, not all tools
need to be used, and your tools
evolve with time. Some simple
words a mentor of mine once
told me, " The more I learn, the
more I realize I don't know. " This
has stuck with me. The strength
and conditioning profession
continues to evolve and grow,
but the basics remain-and I

believe this is the star ting point for young strength and
conditioning coaches.
First and foremost, young coaches must understand
how to apply the basics. Though there are many
different and more complex philosophies around
the topic of periodization, linear periodization is
a simple, yet incredibly effective star ting point.
In understanding and then applying concepts of
linear periodization, young coaches will learn how
to manipulate training principles within a program
like volume, intensity, time under tension, work-torest
ratios, and basic exercise progression and/or
regression. This includes an understanding of where
the athlete falls within their season (off-season, preseason,
in-season), hours allotted weekly, and how
this impacts the training you can prescribe to them.
