Key Factor #8: System Alignment and Integration
- Under LTAD, programs are athlete-centred, coach-driven, and administration-, sport science, and sponsor-supported.
- Each
group plays a key role in aligning and integrating the sport system and
institutionalizing LTAD to ensure appropriate sport opportunities are
available. LTAD is about developing a well-aligned sport system that
meets the needs of participants, acknowledging the contributions of each
sector.
- Recommendation: Coaches and
administrators need to communicate with sport-specific organizations to
see how athletes, coaches, and officials can benefit from various
development and competition opportunities to ensure good alignment with
the athletes' developmental needs. It is important for coaches to
participate in the right training to meet the needs of their athletes.
