As an instructor, we have many roles to play. Sometimes a competitor! How do we find time to prepare for a competition and juggle all the important things that Coaches/Instructors have to deal with on a weekly basis. Time is limited and so will your preparation but here are some tips that I have found work for me.
- Be specific- write down a gameplan and train for that game plan.
- Be safe, as a coach you may be a little older, Injury is the enemy here is a link to some recovery time R.I.C.E Foam Rolling for Recovery and Injury Prevention.
- Nutrition. Download a nutrition app that can help you get your macronutriants in order I like My Fitness Pal.
- Training Partners- Schedule one day a week for you at a minimum. If your unable to do that. Work your game plan and strategies into the normal class structure. Be careful to balance what your goals and students needs.
- Solo training-conditioning,
