Planning and workload management with Jamie Douse
Jamie lives in Bunbury and has been coaching for over 20 years. His strength and conditioning coaching experience is across multiple sporting codes including mixed martial arts, rowing, netball, basketball and AFL. Jamie works as the South West Talent and Coaching Manager for the West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) and has been coaching athletes on the Australian Football League (AFL) talent pathway for over 10 years. He is also the AFL Program Manager and Coach for the South West Academy of Sport (SWAS). The SWAS program managed by Jamie is recognised as one of the premier regional football talent programs in WA.
This podcast is applicable to all sporting codes and guides coaches through practical ways to not only plan your next coaching session but the whole season and beyond. Planning is more than preparing for your next session, especially so with athletes in talent pathways. Workload management requires coaches to have a level of understanding of the physical side of youth maturation and what considerations need to be given for fitness preparation and other factors.
