Physical

Obtaining a good physical base is the foundation to any successful athlete. An athlete must consistently work to build on their physical skills in order to improve their technical, tactical and mental skills. Examples of physical skills include sports specific cardio conditioning, explosive speed through plyometric training, core strength and stability, linear and lateral speed mechanics, and injury resistance body training.

Technical

Developing a variety of technical skills provides an athlete with the various skills or ‘tools’, that they may apply to their sparring. These include skills such as efficient movement patters, eye hand and eye food coordination, and effective attacking and countering.

Tactical

Tactical skills are the “strategies” and athlete can develop to effectively apply their technical skills in training and competitions. Examples of tactical skills include agility reaction and coordination, the ‘how’ and ‘when’ to apply technical abilities, how to approach your fight before, during and after your event, understanding your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and being able to put pressure on your opponents.

Mental

Mental skills are the hallmark of developing high-level athletes. Mental skills include choice based reaction drill work, the ability to perform under pressure, anticipating opponents’ movements, superior decision-making skills, improved capacity to dual task and maintaining an elite athlete mindset and attitude when approaching both training and competitions. It has been proven that most high level elite athletes and athletes who challenge themselves are better skilled at: • Understanding the crucial factors in planning • Facing challenges with courage and determination • Recognising and reducing the effects of stress • Responding appropriately and constructively to difficult situations • Resolving pressure situations • Building resilient behaviours in management and leadership

Olympic Style Sparring – Sport
