Fencing Camp
Just came back from working on a 2 day fencing camp in Grantham with various fencers. Two of the girls I train were on the camp, so it was good to see them in action. (Jenny McGeever is pictured).
The camp has been run in the past by Army personnel, and the two PTIs from Headley Court did an excellent job on the camp. Something you can rely on is professionalism and enthusiasm as well as being able to walk the walk.
We spent some time discussing fencing fitness and looking at what we would expect to see. Involved were the Coaches, the Physiotherapist, the PTIs, the physiologist – all of whom have been working for some time with this group- and some new faces who were looking at things from an outside perspective.
One thing I know is key is getting the athletes to buy in to what they are doing and to get them to do it at homework. Without the coaches or parents at a junior level it won’t happen.
James, thank you for your input at the camp. I will be putting together a consensus document for fencing soon.kind regards, Nick, National S&C Lead, TASS.
I agree James your input was extremely valuable and look forward to working with you. James Williams Performance Manager British Fencing
