Dr. Brooks makes a great professional instruction by constantly citing the research which supports the statements she does in the learning materials, as mentioning when there is no research, or this has resulted confusing upon the statements she is doing. The course provides a detailed summary of key aspects of the science of training young athletes in a fair depth, tests often include feed-back which can clarify concepts whether you get the answers right or wrong, and all materials are organized in a logical way. In my opinion, the course may improve by adding readings, instead of pushing every insight in a lecture, which results challenging to remember or completely understand sometimes. As well including case studies instead of an essay as the only written assignment may result more pragmatic and interesting. Finally, elaborating on the feed-back received after tests, pointing to the learning materials containing the information, and doing more specific questions for the forums may encourage more effectively learners to participate! Thank you so much!

I gained confidence after completing this course. Its important to know and understand the science behind teaching young athletes by a coach. Invaluable insights.

Follows on exactly where part 1 left off. Superbly relevant for any coach and some great information and knowledge to keep with you throughout your career.

Excellent course! I love it.

This course gives a basic understanding of how to train the athletes in a right approach without overlaoding and injury

Very informative! After completing this course I am confident in writing annual training programs for my clients!

This course has helped me to progress my understanding of training young athletes and how to maximize sports performance whilst safeguarding the health and well-being of the athlete. I would have liked to explore a little more about nutrition and how different foods contribute to performance and homeostasis in young athletes. The changing environment will surely play a big part in shaping how young athletes are prepared in the future for athletic performance. The course covered all the topics in great detail. Some areas were of particular interest to me as I have two young boys who are starting out on their sports journey. I hope to be able to share my knowledge with them and help them on their own personal journey in Sport. Developing a good understanding of how the body functions and how to train safely will in turn lead to better enjoyment and longevity in sport and physical activity.

I do think I will need a little more time to revisit some of the course notes to build my yearly training plans, but it is a great start for me and there are many valuable teaching points from the course that I have already started to put into practice.

Thank you to the course organiser tutor, who explained everything so well and covered it in such detail.

It only took 6 months of studying 2 days per week, but I finally got through the UF Course on the Science of Training Young Athletes. It was very interesting and included a lot of pretty current work on exercise physiology, anatomy, and training theory (and backed up by scientific studies where possible). Although the course mainly focused on younger athletes there was quite a bit that you could glean for older athletes, too.

Again as it was the first edition, this second part of The Sciene of Training Young Athletes has been amazing. A must-know knowledge for every coach in every sport. This second edition is even more specific and focus on practical training issues. Doubtless I will repeat any new edition. It would be very interesting a lesson-module focus on nutritional aspects and advices! Thanks a lot for such a wonderful organization.

It was a great pleasure to do the first course and even greater pleasure to do the second one. The first course helped me a lot when I went for my B license in Football. I hope there is a third course as well. More insights from other experts and athletes would probably make the course more interesting, I guess. This is one of the best courses I have taken in my career. Thanks a lot.

The course is very informative - what I wanted was to gain a basic understanding of coaching/training so as to better understand the details of exercising. Instead of looking on various sources on internet with questionable reliability I chose to complete this course. I have also completed Part 1 which I highly recommend.

As a coach of young athletes i spend a lot of time communicating with parents. Most of the times i have to prove where do i get the information from. Now, i have a big source and it is called '' The science of training young athletes''. The certificate will be printed, framed and straight to my office's wall.

Being a coach is an exciting task. The continuous study is vital. There are many subjects that affect training and this course brings clarity to the job of coach. I would like a course in team sports. I really enjoyed both parts of the course. See you soon.

Dr. Chris Brooks takes us on a journey as to how to scientifically train young athletes and motivate them to be athletes. An informative and exciting course packed with all the information as to train the young athletes.

An awesome course with a great teacher, she explained every topic with examples, graphics in a way that is understandable to everyone. I really enjoyed and loved this course and encouraged me to keep learning!

This course was fantastic! It was extremely comprehensive and covered so many areas of sports performance and coaching that I was not expecting it to. Thank you Dr Brooks!

Excellent course, some time it was difficult for me due to very technical topics however it has completely usefull subjects for practical uses. thanks for this course !

very good course for any coach who wants to build his scientific background on how to train young athletes.

the presenter has a wide experience in the training field.

It was a wonderful training course and very up-to-date and useful information. Thank you, Dr. Brussels Thank you, Cours I hope to attend more courses with Dr

Fantastic course. A must for anybody training athletes or young athletes. Looking forward to more such educational content. Thank you!
