LTAD

Coach and athlete by track

What is LTAD?

Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) as a long term approach to maximising individual potential and involvement in sport highlights the importance of having high quality coaches working with and understanding the development of children and young people as they embark upon their sporting journey.

Although a primary aim of LTAD is to produce greater numbers of performers who are capable of achieving at the highest level, it also provides a platform for coaches to encourage and support participants at every level to fulfil their potential and remain involved in sport.

To this end, sports coach UK has been working in conjunction with agencies across the UK to develop resources that are being planned to help the providers of sport with the implementation of LTAD.

Please visit the sports coach UK website for more detailed information on Long Term Athlete development.
