Coaches Review:This was the first session after the mid point review, as a result of Russell being behind schedule I decided to change the stretches and drills I had originally planned as he was struggling with them to much. Athlete Feedback / Questions: Russell felt like this was a harder but far more effective session than the last one his quick progress meant that the last session I did with him was slightly ineffective. Athlete Feedback / Questions: Russell felt more comfortable and able to complete this stretches than the previous ones. Is Progress As Expected? If No Describe: Yes this session was far more effective for Russell and after his progress had stagnated slightly, he is still well on track to reach or surpass the target set for him. Is Progress As Expected?

Coaches Review:As Russell is still behind on his progress I tried to overload this session enough to really push him to try and make up the progress but not to much that he risks an injury. Russell coped with the harder session well and completed all the stretches and exercises. Athlete Feedback / Questions: N/aAthlete Feedback / Questions: N/A Is Progress As Expected?

Week 8/8 Improvement Priority 1:Improvement Priority 2: Date:18/03/15Date:18/03/15 Time:15:15Time:13:00 Venue:The GallopsVenue:My house Equipment:Correct clothing and footwear, cones and stopwatchEquipment:Stretching mat Weather:clearWeather:Indoors Coaches Review:This session was more about consolidating the progress he has made, because I had pushed him so hard last session I didn’t want to overload again as I thought it would be to much and he might risk injury. We finished the session by doing a short 4 minute version of the cooper run just do see how he felt doing it and so getting an idea of how he will do in the actual 12 minute test. Coaches Review:I didn’t want to overload this session to much and push to hard because I didn’t want to risk Russell getting an injury in the last session, I also thought the improvements he makes would have happened by now and that this session was more about consolidating that and not letting his progress to reverse and result in him losing the progress he had made. Athlete Feedback / Questions: Russell gave positive feedback at the end of the session in regards to the training as a whole, he said how he felt the second 4 weeks was more rewarding than the first 4 weeks and this is likely because the first 4 weeks might not have been hard enough to really push him. Athlete Feedback / Questions: Russell's feedback was that he didn’t enjoy the flexibility training sessions, in part because he struggled with them and also doesn’t like flexibility training as a whole. He did say that he revised training plan for the last 4 weeks was far more beneficial than than the training in the first 4 weeks. Is Progress As Expected? If No Describe: Yes, I fully expect Russell to hit the target in the 12 minute cooper run. Is Progress As Expected? If No Describe: Russell has made good progress in the last 4 weeks however I think the lack of progress made in the first 4 weeks may mean that he will struggle to hit his target. Are the Next Session Overload and Progression Plans Appropriate? If No Describe: N/AAre the Next Session Overload and Progression Plans Appropriate? If No Describe: N/A Was Contingency Needed? If Yes Describe: NoWas Contingency Needed? If Yes Describe: No
