Coaches Review: It was clear that Scott was struggling towards the end of the
session especially with the last set. He wanted longer rests in
between sets which indicated he was finding it difficult.
Coaches Review: Scott handled the increase from just 10x30m to an extra
3x80m well and didn’t struggle.
Athlete Feedback
/ Questions:
Scott said this was the most challenging yet and that he was
aching after, however was happy to get through the session.
Athlete Feedback
/ Questions:
Scott said he felt the extra 3x80m in his legs but that this week
he did without any problems.
Is Progress As
Expected?
If No Describe:
Yes, at the start of the programme I definitely think Scott
wouldn’t have been able to get through 4 sets of this weight
and as he got through this it certainly shows progression.
Is Progress As
Expected?
If No Describe:
No, I was hoping Scott would show signs of a bit of a struggle
towards the end but it looked like the programme was still
fairly easy for him to complete.

Plans

If No Describe:
I’m not sure how Scott will do next week with the same
number of sets and reps but an increase of weight from 55kg
to 60kg, it could prove a struggle.

Coaches Review: This week was a real challenge for Scott and he only just
managed to push through to complete the session. There was
a couple times he put the weights down mid-set however he
did manage to finally complete the session.
Coaches Review: I could tell Scott's speed was decreasing as the session went
on indicating that he did find this week harder than the
others.
Athlete Feedback

Athlete said this was the hardest session by far but said he
doesn’t think he would have been able to do this weight at the
start of the programme.
Athlete Feedback

Scott said he felt that he struggled as he picked up a knock in
his match the day before which would explain the noticeable
decrease in Scott’s speed.

I was hoping Scott would complete this without too much of a
struggle but he did complete the session showing that
progression has been made.
Is Progress As

helped with any progression that would have been made.

Coaches Review: As he did last week he struggled a lot and it took time to
complete the 4 sets but he got through it in the end. However,
I do feel this could be down to him losing his technique
because of the weight.

both sessions without any problems .

The final week will definitely be difficult for Scott and I’m
worried he may not complete it as there is an increase of
weight. I will make sure Scott is using the correct technique
again which should help him.

Session Overload
and Progression
Plans
Appropriate?
If No Describe:
Yes, I want the final week to be a push for Scott and I’m hoping
it will be so he has to work harder as he is more likely to
increase the trait if he pushes harder for it.
