The document summarizes an 8-week training program focused on improving Scott's power and speed. For power training, Scott progressed from 4 sets of 6 reps at 55kg to 4 sets of 8 reps at a higher weight. He struggled at times but completed all sessions. For speed, the number of sprints increased from 10x30m to include extra longer distances. Scott handled the increased workload well over the weeks. Final testing showed Scott's vertical jump was above average for power and his sprint time was average for speed.

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.

3x80m well and didn’t struggle.

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:

towards the end but it looked like the programme was still
fairly easy for him to complete.

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.

doesn’t think he would have been able to do this weight at the
start of the programme.

his match the day before which would explain the noticeable
decrease in Scott’s speed.

complete the 4 sets but he got through it in the end. However,

both sessions without any problems .

The final week will definitely be difficult for Scott and I’m
