  1. Physical Literacy:“The Building Blocks to Lifelong Health” Athlete Development Presentation

  2. Presentation Outline • Long Term Athlete Development Model • Physical Literacy • Basic Knowledge • Fundamental Movements • Pedagogy of a Quality Program • Sample Program • Q & A

  3. Starting Point

  4. Long Term Athlete Development Children play to have fun Physically Literate emphasis Pathway to excellence Pathway for all to be physically active

  5. Long Term Athlete Development Active Start FUNdamental Learning to Train Training to Train Training to Compete Training to Win Active for Life

  6. Active Start StageChronological/ Development AgeMales and Females: 0-6 Fundamental Movements • Fitness and movement skills • running, jumping, wheeling, twisting, kicking, throwing, and catching • Exploration of risk and limits in safe environments • Some organized physical activity • Gymnastics, Running, Wheeling

  7. FUNdamental StageChronological/ Development AgeMales 6-9 and Females: 6-8 Fundamental Movements Skills +

  8. Learning to Train StageChronological/ Development AgeMales: 9-12 Females: 8-11 Fundamental Sport Skills

  9. Training to TrainDevelopment Age – onset of PHV Males: 12-16 Females: 11-15 Building Engine and Sport Specific Skills

  10. Training to CompeteChronological / Sport Specific AgeMales: 16-23 +/- Females: 15-21 +/- Optimizing Engine and Sport / Event / Position Skills

  11. Training to WinChronological / Sport Specific AgeMales: 19 +/- Females: 18 +/- Maximizing engine and Event / Position Skills PODIUMS

  12. Active for LifeEnter at any age Healthy Life-long Physical Activity

  13. Systemic LTAD Issues in Canada • Adult programs superimposed on children • Male programs superimposed on females • Physical literacy not taught • Windows of Trainability – periods of accelerated adaptation • Chronological age versus developmental age • “Peaking by Friday”

  14. Physical Literacy Structured & Unstructured Play

  15. Life LongPhysical Activity PERFORMANCE Limited Opportunities DEVELOPMENT PODIUM PLAYGROUND

  16. Physical LiteracyFirst 3 stages of LTAD Development Age – before onset of PHV Fundamental Movement Skills

  17. Physical LiteracyFirst 3 stages of LTAD Development Age – before onset of PHV Fundamental Movement skill + Fundamental Sport Skills = Physical Literacy = Excellence & Participation

  18. Developmental Age vs. Chronological Age Developmental Age = Chronological Age +/- 2 years 14 Year old boys 13 Year old girls

  19. Physical LiteracyWindows of Opportunity • Windows of Trainability:Refers to the sensitive periods of accelerated adaptation to training. • Readiness:Refers to the critical period in the development of a specific behaviour or skill when experience or training will have the optimal effect.

  20. Physical Literacy Trainability by Age

  21. Phases of Movement Fundamental Movements

  22. Fundamental Movements • Growth means an increase in body size, such as in height or weight. • Maturation is the process in which the child’s body changes to become progressively more like that of an adult.

  23. Fundamental Movements

  24. Fundamental Movements Running • Becoming Physically Literate: • must master fundamental movement skills • Remember children are not just “adults in miniature”. • To learn a skill a child must go through a series of developmental stages • Goal of the coach is to help the child progress from one stage to the next.

  25. Fundamental Movements Throwing • Learning Fundamental Movement Skills: • Children learn at different stages • Everyone learns the movements in the same sequence • Everyone goes through the same phases • The child’s environment needs to be both safe and challenging.

  26. Fundamental Movements Jumping • Time for remedial work • If a child goes too long without learning a skill, then learning it may become more difficult. • The sooner the child starts to overcome the learning deficit the easier it will be for them to catch up.

  27. Fundamental Movements Hopping • Impact of Being Physically Literate: • Confident in an active setting • Higher self-esteem which impacts other parts of life • More likely to be active later in life. • More likely to be a healthier adult.

  28. Fundamental Movements

  29. Physical Literacy & LTAD Active Start StageChronological/ Development AgeMales and Females: 0-6 • Encourage children to run; tag & chasing games • Play catching and throwing games • Play games making body shapes and movements • Play balancing games • Play jumping games • Play games in a variety of environments

  30. Physical Literacy & LTAD FUNdamental StageChronological/ Development AgeMales 6-9 and Females: 6-8 • Encourage unstructured physical play with friends • Continue to play catching, throwing, hitting, running, etc…. Games • Provide a variety of sporting activities (multi-sport programs) • Focus on participation and fun • Develop the all-round athlete

  31. Physical Literacy & LTAD Learning to Train StageChronological/ Development AgeMales: 9-12 Females: 8-11 • Encourage unstructured physical play with friends • Provide opportunities to play multi sports and play a variety of positions • Encourage participation in sports at school • Provide opportunities to participate in activities on land, water, snow and ice • Provide opportunities to work on flexibility, speed, endurance and own-body weight strength • FUN!

  32. Physical Literacy & LTAD Effective Pedagogy Developmentally Appropriate • Activates are appropriate for the cognitive, social and physical stage of development The following areas should be considered.. • The equipment • Language used • Conceptual learning is fostered to allow athletes the ability to possess the key knowledge of why we are doing this • Complexity of the task and the environment in which the task is performed in • Practice of the movement should be encouraged to be performed correctly whenever possible.

  33. Physical Literacy & LTAD Effective PedagogyTask Oriented Key areas to consider • Time is maximized • There is enough equipment for all • Safety: clothing, environment and size/speed of equipment • Leader promotes and rewards good behaviour • Teach by objectives and goals • Review and preview • Make teaching, learning, and competition relevant • Practice should have variety to prevent bordome • Purpose of the activity should be clear • Concrete feedback and evidence of success in activity if they are to persist.

  34. Physical Literacy & LTAD Effective PedagogyPromotes Success for All • Providing activities that encourages all children to develop promotes the development of the “whole child” (social, cognitive, motor, and emotional) Strategies: • Activities are inclusive • Gender equity • Feelings of the participants are respected • Activities pose a challenge the individual feels they can accomplish • Individual instruction and feedback to suit the needs and abilities of the individual

  35. Physical Literacy & LTAD Effective PedagogyEffective Communication Strategies • Good communication is based on the principal of “Active Listening” • Verbal communication should be clear and concise • Verbal communication should be age appropriate and specific to the sport • Use humour but avoid confusing metaphors and ‘sport slang’ • Use consistent cue words in skill instruction and feedback • Check for understanding • Use problem solving to deal with issues • Learning requires knowledge of results and performance • Feedback should be focused on ‘What to do’ not ‘What not to do’ • Demonstrations and modeling should be accurate and that if the skill is broken down in pieces it should be done in proper sequence. • Self-talk aids in skill acquisition

  36. Physical Literacy & LTAD Effective PedagogyThoughtful Reflection & Analysis • Self evaluation • What went well? • What did not go well? • What should I remember for next time? • Mentorship • Identifying a mentor coach to provide feedback is the best way to become a better leader • Program provides mentor coaches

  37. Pilot Program • Use NSO’s youth programs for sport instruction (ex Mini Volleyball) • Use Athletics Canada’s Run, Jump, Throw Program for ABC’s • National & Local Sponsors to lower costs for participants • Trained and Certified Instructors • Quality Insurance from Project leads • Access to ALL!

  38. Multi Sport Program
