The Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) explains how best to use the 10,000 hours depending on the athlete`s age and stage. It provides guidance on what and when to train. It recommends the ratio of time spent competing vs. training vs. recovering. The aim of this LTAD plan is to outline to coaches, parents, clubs, and administrators in Canada what a long-term approach to training and preparation means. The plan gives detailed training and competition guidance that will be of assistance to snowboard stakeholders (clubs, resorts, schools) in planning their programs. With recommendations regarding training volumes in different age groups and sample annual training plans.
