Para Coaches

Coaching in para sport requires more than adapting technique. Pain, fatigue, spasticity, altered sensitivity and limited recovery can change movement, concentration and technical trust before the athlete can clearly explain what is happening.

Body Feedback Pain and Fatigue Adaptation Technical Trust
01

Do not confuse protection with avoidance

Reduced intensity may be the athlete’s attempt to preserve enough physical resource for the whole session or competition.

02

Look beyond the visible technique

A technical change may begin with pain, spasticity, altered balance or reduced sensory feedback rather than a loss of skill.

03

Adapt without lowering expectations

Effective adaptation changes the route to performance. It does not remove responsibility, standards or competitive ambition.
