Becoming an athlete and growing as an athlete is not just about improving performance but also about personal growth.

 

When planning physical training, it is important to consider the starting point, realistic goals, goal monitoring, striving for and motivating optimal training, and learning to analyze one's own development. The starting point and goal are to teach athletes to understand training as part of their own life, which includes physical and mental training, nutrition, sleep and rest, social relationships, goals in studies and/or work, and other leisure activities. Understanding and considering all of this brings more motivation to training through the realization of goals and improvement in performance, as well as the ability to understand the importance of determined and systematic training for achieving results.
