Hi Roy

We are wondering if you would like to add the ADM information to your blog courtesy of the Coach and Athlete Development team at CCC!It is currently being translated and hopefully the French version will be available shortly.

The Athlete Development Matrix is CCC’s new athlete development model. It has been developed with the help and contribution of experts from Own The Podium (OTP), Sport-Canada LTAD expert group, the NST and NDC Integrated Support Team (IST) specialists and some of Canada’s HP cross country ski coaches.

 In addition to providingspecific guidance on how to develop each performance factor at every stage of development, it also now includes specificbenchmarks and standardsto aim for, for each performance factors at each stage of development as well asadditional resourcesto facilitate the interpretation of the matrix guidelines.
