The concepts and principles of training are what we, as coaches and PE teachers, use to plan, sequence and teach training sessions and classes. These principles have been identified as important to the learning and progression of skills and fitness. They are:
Strength, strength endurance, aerobic endurance, speed, speed endurance, power, mobility, agility and flexibility.
All of these, when planned correctly and well contribute to a perfect training plan. However, as a teacher, there is one aspect that is vital but not on this list. And that is FUN!
If we do not make these sessions, lessons and learning experiences fun, then students will not be interested. They will not be motivated. They will not try their best and therefore the lesson is lost. So while these principles are key, especially in elite coaching and training environments, we as PE teachers need to remember that 'elite' is not what our students are. They are there for fun, to learn some new skills and hopefully to find something that they enjoy!!
