Supertraining

I am starting tomorrow with an assessment of the players. I will be
measuring height, weight, bf% 5 RM Bench Press, 5 Rm Squat, Standing
Broad Jump, CM Vertical Jump. From that initial assessment I'm going
to develop a generalized program, and either regress for those showing
 de training, or low performance in certain areas, and progress it for
those showing increased aptitude. I plan on doing initially a linear
periodization program, as per the coaches assessment most of the
athletes have at best rudimentary skills within a weight room. I plan
on   initially working on ensuring the athletes have sound functional
movement and no inherent muscle discrepancies or poor motor function.
Once those are addressed I plan on implementing a program designed to
build baseline strength and hypertrophy, and then progress more into
explosive movements and plyometrics, and enhance "special strength" or
"speed strength" as the season approaches in December. This is a 6
month macrocycle with several mesocycles of 4-12 weeks in duration,
depending upon the readiness of the athletes. Each weeks microcycle
will dependent upon the response of the athletes to the previous weeks
microcycle.
