Episode 16 of True North Strong: A Sports Performance Podcast.
Join me this episode as I catch up with Richard Sylvester who is the Owner of Essential Performance & Fitness, LTD Advisor with Sport For Life as well as a Newcomer Youth Leadership Coach in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
We dig into Richard's journey in the performance coaching field, his PhD research titled "Sprint Characteristics in Youth Female Athletes Across Maturation", setting up an optimal overall training environment - Mental aspect, Emotional aspect, Social aspect, Learning aspect, as well as his work with the Newcomers Youth Leadership Program. We also touch on his thoughts around Long Term Development and Over-Specialization vs Early-Specialization. This was great discussion and I am excited to see what Richard's research will discovery when it comes to training youth female athletes.
