The Role of Sports Training in the Holistic Development of Multi-Disciplinary Athletes

Abstract

Sports training allows the body to gradually build up strength and endurance, improve skill levels and build motivation, ambition and confidence. Having a sports trainer teach an athlete the basics of a sport before they start playing is extremely necessary if the athlete wants to be successful in that sport. Sports training is the physical, technical, intellectual, psychological and moral preparation of an athlete or a player by means of physical education. Sports training is an overall scientific and systematic channel of preparation of sports persons for high level of sports performance. Runners, cyclists, Ironmen and recreational team players can train their bodies to endure physical stress for longer periods of time and recover faster, allowing them to set and reach successive goals instead of plateauing. An athlete will benefit tremendously from this type of training, most likely seeing dramatic improvements in their level of fitness and strength.
