EP36: Bonus episode- The ultimate athletic development framework
Episode description
Welcome to the final bonus episode of The Get Down podcast, where I guide you through building the ultimate athletic development framework for schools. Over the years, I’ve received countless questions from coaches, parents, and school staff about solving challenges in athletic development settings. This episode is your cheat sheet, breaking down every detail into three stages: the preseason, competition phase, and finals. Together, we’ll create a comprehensive, student-centred program that develops athletic potential and integrates seamlessly into the school’s framework, delivering long-term success.

Key points include:
Athletic development is divided into the preseason (12–18 months), competition phase (1.5–3 years), and finals (3–5 years), each focusing on specific areas like staffing, student engagement, and program expansion.
Prioritising students’ holistic needs (academic, athletic, and general) is crucial to creating equitable, impactful programs.
Success depends on aligning athletic programs with school resources, fostering collaboration with staff, and utilising external partnerships for long-term sustainability.
