Book Descriptions:

The West Point Judo Athlete Development Handbook was the roadmap for our program's success from 2009-2014. This document allowed our athletes to understand the plan and track their performance. It is imperative that your athletes are part of the process and that information about what needs to be accomplished is transparent and available to them. As a young athlete, I never cared much for as the coaches would have everything ready when you came into practice. Allowing the athlete to take some ownership of the training program can be impactful in accomplishing the team's goals. Coaches and program leaders develop a strategy but too often leave athletes in the dark robbing them of their initiative to take ownership of the goal attainment process. In this handbook, you will find the process that was used to lay the foundation for each season of the West Point Judo program. This foundation worked for us and is shared with you to spark your imagination and, hopefully, to impact the development of your own program. Each section of the handbook will begin with an introduction that will guide you to better understand the content and the rationale behind that style of organization. It is my hope that you become inspired by our strategies and plans and that leads you to create a solid foundation in your athletes to help them achieve their performance goals.
