To explore the important features to work successfully with young athletes as a coach.

Abstract

Children have constantly shown interest in competing with each other and searching for comparisons with each other. Children involved in sports should be encouraged to participate in various competitions and develop a variety of skills. Young athletes specializing in only one sport are deprived of the advantages of various activities and face certain physical, physiological and psychological stresses associated with intensive training and competitions. Athletics with its variety of forms provides an excellent opportunity for such relationships with peers. Therefore, if athletics is an attractive sport for children, then coaches need to create programs that are more suitable for children. In athletics, there is a system of long-term sports training. It is a single organizational system that ensures continuity of tasks, means, methods, forms of training of athletes of all age groups. It is based on purposeful motor activity: the optimal ratio of the processes of training, education of physical qualities and the formation of motor skills, skills and various aspects of preparedness; the growth of the volume of general and special physical training, the ratio between which is constantly changing; strict adherence to gradualness in the process of increasing loads; simultaneous development of individual qualities in the age periods most favorable for this.
