The Role Of Guiding Young Athletes (ages 9-12) In Achieving High Performance In Athletics

Authors : Bentahar Smail .

Abstract

Abstract : When we talk about guidance in the field of sports training, sports guidance has become a necessary and mandatory matter, especially at this age stage, as it is the appropriate stage to introduce young athletes—particularly the talented ones, who are the subject of our study—and to give them an early opportunity to express their desires and capabilities, and then reach the highest levels. The guidance process represents an important part of the coach's sports journey, where the young athlete is discovered, guided, and even their future is predicted based on physical and skill considerations, as well as the trainee's general abilities. This process is also economical in terms of time and effort. Coaches agree that the appropriate age for guiding a young athlete is between 9 and 12 years old.
