Kritik und Lob » e of the mechanics of training

Rio silver medallist PV Sindhu capped her return to form by winning the China Open on Sunday. She beat Sun Yu of China 21-11, 17-21, 21-11 in the final for her first Super Series title win.Sindhu was quick off the blocks, unsettling Sun with her attacking game and racing to an 11-5 lead at the first break. Sun was caught unaware as Sindhus swift movement and solid defence helped her retrieve everything and win the game with ease in 17 minutes.Sindhu continued to impress in the second game as Sun was forced to target the sidelines of the court due to the Indians mobility. The Chinese player made a lot of errors as Sindhu led 11-7 at the changeover.But then Sun made a strong comeback. She changed her strategy by targeting Sindhu with a series of fierce body smashes that the Indian could not return. Though the players were 16-16 at one stage, it was the Chinese who pulled away and won the game.In the deciding game, Sindhu led 11-8 at the changeover. The momentum stayed with her from there on and she won the game comfortably in 23 minutes.It has been a dream for a long time to win a Superseries, Sindhu said later. After the Olympics, everyone was asking me, Whats next? It was important for me to get a Superseries title. Life changed a lot after the Olympics. People thought Ill take a long time to get back. But I worked hard. This is my first Superseries title and Im very happy.About the match, she said: The first game was very easy. I [was] playing her after two-and-a half years, shes also tall like me and were both attacking players. I lost the second game and in the third I started well and from 11-7, I maintained the lead.Sindhu, the seventh seed, had beaten sixth seed Sung Ji Hyun of South Korea 11-21, 23-21, 21-19 in the semi-final.It was such a tough match, one of my best wins, Sindhu said about that match. There were such long rallies. I was so far down in the second, but I could come back. I thought, Let me just play and see. I had made so many errors. There were so many rallies, each point was a rally. She didnt leave anything. I wasnt tired. Even though we played long rallies, we had breaks in between. Neither of us was leaving the shuttle. My jump smashes worked in the end.This is Sindhus third tournament since her silver medal finish at the Rio Olympics. She had lost in the second round at the Denmark Open and French Open.Sindhu is the third Indian to win the tournament. Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth had won the womens and mens singles title respectively in 2014. Sindhu is also only the third non-Chinese player to win the womens singles event in 30 years.This was Sindhus second appearance in a Superseries final. She had lost to Chinas Li Xuerui in the finals of the Denmark Open last year. For Sun Yu, it was her fourth consecutive loss in the final of a Superseries event this year.

Dr. John Kremer, a Sports Psychologist from Queens University in Belfast, delivered the morning session on sports psychology in football. He covered an incredible amount of content, beginning with the premise that every time a coach opens his or her mouth, the coach impacts a players perception of his or her own performance. Depending on what the coach says to the player, this can have either a positive or a negative effect. Kremer believes that coaches are, by the very nature of their jobs, sports psychologists. The very best coaches have a high capacity to understand players; they can adapt their style of coaching, depending on the needs of each player. Kremer used this quote from Sir Alex Ferguson to explain the point, "Footballers are all different human beings. Some are self-motivators, they need to be left alone...for some, you need causes, your country, them and us...and those causes can be created by the manager." A key message that Kremer delivered was that as a coach, you need to look at who you are, what you can do, and what you cannot do. He believes that you should not surround yourself with people who are like you – you need people who challenge you, who offset your weaknesses. It was the same message that was delivered the previous day by Billy Dixon. Kremer said that players are not limited by their physical capabilities, as many players do not fully explore the limits of those abilities. The thing that limits players is their minds. An over-emphasis on results in football – especially at the youth level – limits our ability to produce players with, what Kremer called, NAch – Need to Achieve. This over-emphasis on results in turn produces an abundance of players with, what Kremer called, FF – Fear of Failure. Given the state of youth soccer in Canada, this discussion struck a chord with me. Kremers information confirmed everything that is wrong with results-driven youth football in Canada, and more important, everything that is right about the CSAs Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) plan. Kremer went on to discuss, in depth, a number of other important topics. Mental toughness, balancing the three Cs (control, confidence and commitment), IZOF (Individual Zone of Optimum Functioning) - which is the stress level at which an athlete optimally performs - and mental imagery were all explained, discussed and debated. When speaking about mental toughness, Kremer said something that resonated in the room. He said that an athlete must play their sport for themselves. If theey do it for someone else, they will be mentally fragile as a result.dddddddddddd Faye Downey delivered the afternoon session, and it was an extension of the lecture that she delivered on day one. The topic of her presentation was "Trunk Stabilization", and touched on issues surrounding stability, what the stability requirements were for elite football players, how Olympic lifting can aid the development of stabilization, as well as some practical applications of stabilization and strength training. One of the remarkable aspects of Downeys session was the topic of running. Many professional football clubs employ athletics coaches to train and develop speed in players. Yet scientific evidence proves that footballers do not run like track athletes. Downey went on to explain and demonstrate the correct running technique for football, and then had the coaches practice the technique themselves. Downey also said that SAQ (Speed and Quickness) training has little or no impact on developing speed in players. The reason is that it does not improve the players ability to generate force, which is a key component of power (speed). It was another fascinating presentation, and demonstrated yet again how advanced the game of football is becoming at the highest level. Given the years of study required to reach Downeys level of knowledge in her field, it was asked why this information was being presented to the coaches, if only at a superficial level. Her response was interesting – she said that having a broad knowledge of the mechanics of training footballers in a sport-specific way allows coaches to have an informed conversation with specialists like her when planning and periodizing their training calendar. Phil Melville, a staff coach for the Irish FA, and Nigel Best, Performance Manager for the Irish FA, delivered the evening session. There were four topics discussed over the course of the lecture: the use of statistics in football, trends in the modern game, blocking at set pieces and zonal marking vs. man-for-man marking at set pieces. I wont go into great detail about the discussions that took place. With 28 passionate, knowledgeable coaches taking the course – as well as the excellent instructors – there were plenty of ideas put forward for debate. No consensus was found on any topic, which only proves that there is more than one way to play the beautiful game. Day two is best summed up by a quote from Alfie Wylie, staff coach for the Irish FA. At the conclusion of our morning lecture, he dismissed the class by saying, "Remember, your mind is like a parachute; it only works when it is open!" ' ' '
