Editor's Notes
- Development Program vs. Development TeamNot an exclusive program or team—open to all club members with additional support (and requirements) for those who choose to commit to the “team” (not a race team, just a cohort with similar goals)
- Get out what you put inNot a structured training programDevelopment Program = incremental gains in many areas
- Get out what you put inNot a structured training programDevelopment Program = incremental gains in many areas
- A sampling, not comprehensiveSeeking to advance skills in MANY areas—more than we’ll get done in 2011
- So what’s the difference for Development Team members?We ask more of you….
- Participate in weekly/biweekly Development Program activitiesContribute to the AAVC—leadership, projects, events, … club serviceParticipate in performance testing—learning process and way to monitor progressFollow some sort of structured training—coach, book, self-designed, etc. But something that builds toward fitness goals
- Development Team is not designed for riders to stay forever; 2-5 years depending on where a rider starts (category)Assessment is intended to be self-directed and allow each rider to honestly assess their own effort and performance relative to their own and the program goals.
- The races completed will need to reflect the team members’ own goals15 is guide, not a hard and fast rule; intent is to support racing so 15 or something close will likely be easy for most team membersWe’ll do a few team races we select together — likely longer trips or big area races
- Riders participating in the Development Team should expect to progress at a rate similar to the above.
- Sample schedule is for Development Team members; Development Program activities will happen most weeks.
- Development Program is not set in stone; with your input it will change and evolveTeam races: ID a few races that we will commit to as a group, esp. those that require significant travel“Formal” commitment to join the team; Dev Prog is “drop-in”Individual & Team Goals
