A) LTDM: Long Term Developmental Model
LONG-TERM
ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT: TRAINABILITY IN CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE
Scientific research has concluded that it takes eight-to-twelve years
of training for a talented
player/athlete to reach elite levels.
This is called the ten-year or 10,000 hour rule, which translates to
slightly more than three hours of practice daily for ten years Unfortunately,
parents and coaches in many sports still approach training with an attitude
best characterized as "peaking by Friday," where a short-term
approach is taken to training and performance with an over-emphasis on
immediate results. We now know that a long-term
commitment to practice and training is required to produce elite players/athletes
in all sports.
"It takes 10 years of extensive training to excel
in anything"
A specific and well-planned practice, training, competition and recovery
regime will ensure optimum development throughout an athlete’s career. Ultimately, sustained success comes from training
and performing well over the long-term rather than winning in the short-term. There is no short cut to success in athletic
preparation. Overemphasizing competition
in the early phases of training will always cause shortcomings in athletic
abilities later in an athlete’s career.

Grip
Strength:
If you have ever gone to the Paris training camp in
February of every year you will witness some of the toughest and strongest
judoka in the world trying to rip each other a part. If you have ever taken
part in the camp as an athlete the one thing that you notice from your first
randori is the strength of your opponent’s grips. It is important that during
the year to have athletes focus on improving their grip strength and building
up lactic acid tolerance in their forearms. To become a master of kumit-kata it
is important to have strong hands, fast hands, the ability to with stand lactic
acid and your arms/shoulders need to have the ability to fight hard for eight
minutes. Grip strength is only one part of mastering kumi-kata but it is one of
the most important; the longer that you can dominate your opponent and hold on
to them the better chances you can win the match. There are many different ways
to train to strengthen your grip and to be honest none of them are easy but
this is what needs to be done to improve in competitive judo. Below are a few
samples of ideas to strength your grips.
