The BASE of all sports?
Alohaaaaaaaaa everyone,
Well, have you ever though what is really the base of all athletics? Why elite athletes different from not elite ones? Why the sports here in cyprus are not that great in terms of quality of play?
The answer is only one, we usually skip the BASE of all the sports. The Base consists of power, strength, speed, endurance, flexibility nutrition, mental toughness, balance, coordination, injury prevention as stated by Rooney in his book 'Training for Warriors. All these important aspects need to be addressed and more emphasis should be given to the ones that are related with each sport.
In most sports, especially in Cyprus, this initial step is ignored. To be the best in any sport or to train for health related reasons this step is the most important of all. Furthermore, technique is the leading element. How can a fighter for example be good if he or she lacks of explosive power, strength and speed. If you do not train these elements, literally you can not be the best.
In addition, other important elements of any sports are: Technique , Strategy, and Mental Training as mentioned by Rooney.
The take home message is that the BASE is the missing link of all the sports here in Cyprus. If you want your performance to increase in big numbers, the BASE is most fundamental element and YES DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.......I'm out.
