Monitoring & Next Steps

Why Ongoing Monitoring Matters
Athlete development is a journey, not a once-off event. Regular assessments, feedback loops, and smart adjustments ensure sustainable progress and reduce the risk of burnout or injury.

Recommended Monitoring Steps:

• Quarterly performance testing to track improvement and adjust training.

• Integration into an Athlete Management System (AMS) for ongoing data analysis.

• Use of subjective measures (e.g., wellness ratings, recovery perception) to complement physical outputs. 

• Flagging workload spikes that may increase injury risk or over-training

• Parental and coach involvement in regular reviews and planning.

By integrating both qualitative and quantitative insights, this approach strengthens athlete decision-making, reduces burnout risk, and drives sustainable improvement. Athletes who track and reflect consistently understand when to push and when to recover, a key distinction in elite development.This system will help Joshua and his team understand when to push harder and when to recover, connecting trends in performance to perceived exertion and readiness, maximizing both performance and long-term enjoyment.
