Professional Development Program For Athletic Coaches - Session 4
The South Australian Branch of the Australian Track and Field Coaches Association is pleased to have, as theme speaker for the fourth seminar, Sharon Hannan. Sharon’s topic is the successful combination of sprints and hurdles. As you no doubt would have read in the press, she and SALLY McLELLAN’s campaign to reach the Hurdles Final at the Beijing Olympic Games is progressing well with the fastest 100m hurdles ever recorded on Australian soil combined with 100m win in Canberra.
TITLE: Programming and training for Sprints and Hurdles
PRESENTED BY: Sharon Hannan
CONTENT: Should sprinters hurdle? Should hurdlers sprint? Can they do both? At what age should they specialise? Should all athletes hurdle? Are girls easier to coach than boys at this level? How has gender bias affected Sharon’s career? This is just part of a whole gambit of questions Sharon can answer using her depth of knowledge of training methods and current trends.
VENUE: The Function Room at Santos Stadium, Mile End starting at 7.00pm on Wednesday 20th February, 2008 – Car parking is available – tea, coffee and light refreshments to follow.
