For this assignment you will use your Assignment 2 Women’s Basketball team (Ohio State women’s) and will establish a Transition Period–Post Season, Rest and Recovery action plan. You will pull from the week 8 discussion articles presented by your classmates for references and information to use within this assignment. As this particular season of periodization planning is new to the world of athletics you are on the forefront of discovery.
Part 1:
As in previous assignments/discussions, you remain the Head Basketball or Olympic Sports Strength and Conditioning Coach at the College/University where your team/athlete attends.
List and Identify the demands of the sport on the athlete(s) during a typical Competition Period – In Season.
Using the previous season’s record or results, link the results in your reference page, list and describe any additional demands the Competition Period – In Season may have placed on your team/athlete. Use references to back up your information.
Provide a time line for when the Transition Period–Post Season with a focus on Rest and Recovery plan of action can begin and how long will it last? Hint: when was the last competition and when does the Preparatory Period – Off Season need to begin next year?
In your opinion, what are the 5 primary goals and/or considerations for your Team/Athlete during the Transition Period–Post Season with a focus on Rest and Recovery?
Why did you choose these goals and/or considerations as primary?
What are the major influences in your choices of primary goals and/or considerations? Explain.
Design and establish a series of assessments, to go within the Athlete Assessment Plan to address the possible needs of the team/athlete during a Transition Period–Post Season with a focus on Rest and Recovery.
