Check out my new member area with 10 hours of BASC conference videos featuring world class presenters such as Glenn Stewart and Prof Sophia Nimphius.

Whilst I am certain there are modern platforms, for many coaches, sometimes Excel workbooks and Word files provide the speed and flexibility needed for thinking, planning and quick production. I’ve always had the privilege of standing on the shoulders of giants. On this page, you will find some of the templates I have used over many years, templates created and shared by my mentors to which I have added my own details. Coaches and athletes may find some of these useful in their day-to-day environment.

For example, a blank, printed weight training form can be very helpful when working through a last moment rehab athlete when trying to type on the computer just isn’t ideal. The cycle schedule may be suitable for coaches in the day-to-day training environment, plan the various training, meeting and work/school commitments of the program. Coaches of representative teams travelling to tournaments may also find this a particularly useful template to place fixtures, venues, training and travel to be quickly reviewed.
