For instance, it has always been surprising to me when I talk to fulltime athletes and their coaches how many of them have never taken the time to identify those aspects of performance that they would like to improve and then design training methods aimed specifically at those things. In reality, much of the training that athletes do — especially athletes in team sports — is carried out in groups with no attempt to figure out what each individual should be focusing on.
What aspects of their performace must theh specifically improve on?
