The Long Term Athlete Development model

Could someone give me the lowdown on the Long Term Athlete Development model or the LTAD? I keep hearing it mentioned around the place and have doen a bit of googling but was wondering if anyone is able to relate it better to cricket?

cheers

I guess a good starting point would be here - LTAD (Harrowdrive). Also, have a look at the ECB website, on the coaching section.

It's a good model to work from if you are coaching young players. Unless you are specifically being tested on it (say for your UKCC award) then I wouldn't worry too much about it beyond the basics.

I have been involved with multiskills LTAD since 2004. As a Performance Coach I specialised in development for the long term and implemention of the programme.

Did you read the model for cricket: http://static.ecb.co.uk/files/planning-for-long-term-success-910.pdf Samuel?

If not, have a look and come back with your comments or if you would like to discuss the framework or any of its principles.
