If you are a skating parent, coach, judge or skating official Coach Tom Z’s new ebook ‘Basic Training 101: Periodization Principles For Figure Skating – An Easy-To-Use Workbook’ you might want to give it a good read. Why?
Well, the Professional Skaters Association (PSA) and U.S. Figure Skating (USFS) have purchased it and from this Coach Zakrajsek has been invited to present a condensed version of it at this year's PSA conference which begins this Wednesday, May 24 in Nashville.
Speaking of his book, Zakrajsek remarks “I am proud the book gives specific examples that coaches can apply right away as well as backing up those examples with an appropriate amount of research without being too geeky.”
The book came together over a 2 and ½ year period following an extensive overview of his thoughts, based on his own observations and study. His Master’s Degree in Exercise Science has provided him the grounding with which to develop this unique coaching model.
In my article on WordPress.com “A Layman’s Reflections” * just one conclusion stood out for me - The realization that the Periodization Principles for Figure Skating serves as the proper applied foundation for all future advances in training within the sport. If you read the book, I believe you will reach a similar understanding.
