Junior Development (JD)
Focus: Skill Refinement & Introduction to Event Groups
As athletes demonstrate more advanced motor skills, the program begins to integrate more specific technical training. At this stage, athletes are introduced to event-group specialization (sprints, jumps, endurance, etc.). The focus shifts toward optimizing speed, strength, and aerobic capacity while maintaining a holistic approach to their physical and mental development.
