Rosanna coaching philosophy
The primary focus of our junior training is skill development. Excellence comes from adding power to highly developed skills. In junior athletics the focus is on mastering the required skills. As adolescence arrives, power can be added to that skill base. Power plus skill will equal that person’s maximum level of performance. It is all about helping that person achieve their best. That is our aim and it is the job of the coach to get this done whilst at the same time making it fun.
