Every sport in Canada has been tasked with developing a long term development plan (LTD) for their sport and for good reason. It is critical as exercise professionals, strength and conditioning coaches, or personal trainers that we not only train young athletes with sport-specificity in mind, but also age and gender-specificity. Putting it all together can be a challenge but can develop our athletes of tomorrow and get them on the podium!
