EP28: Coaches- The Overtraining Fallacy

Welcome to Season 4 of The Get Down Podcast series! In this episode, we will debunk the overtraining fallacy among youth athletes. I will explain how my viewpoint has evolved over two decades of coaching, emphasising the importance of year-round athletic engagement and unstructured play to build resilient, well-rounded athletes. 

Key points include: 

• ​Dangers of seasonal specialisation 
• ​Benefits of multi-sport participation
• ​Practical strategies for coaches to support ongoing athletic development
