Course description:
Injuries in sport are preventable. However, successfully preventing injuries requires a great deal of planning and constant monitoring. The NCCP Prevention and Recovery module provides strategies and techniques to prevent injury, while also improving performance. These 2 concepts are closely connected. Strategies that help with 1 of the concepts, directly influence the other.
This workshop supports coaches in preventing injury. It does not prepare coaches to intervene medically with an injured athlete. It’s highly recommended that coaches take a first-aid course or have someone who has first-aid training be on site with them at all times during practices.
In Prevention & Recovery, you will learn to:
- identify common injuries in your sport and develop appropriate prevention and recovery strategies to keep athletes injury-free during training and competition
- offer valuable information and guidance on hydration, nutrition, and sleep as they relate to injury prevention
- choose skills and drills that help athletes perform appropriate warm-ups and cool-downs
- develop functional evaluations for an athlete’s return to play
- implement recovery and regeneration techniques to help and athlete maintain or return to optical performance post-injury
