Child to Champion Seminar Series

From 1980 to 2000 Ian King’s focus was on elite athletes of the average age range of 18-36 years.  During this period of time intensely studied the theory of periodization, including learning from, spending time with, working with, and collaborated with two of the world’s leading periodization experts – Tudor Bompa and the late Istvan Balyi.  Tudor was credited with sharing the Eastern European approach to periodization with the western world, and Istvan for providing a detailed approach to long-term athlete development.  You can see this collaboration in the way Istvan used one of Ian’s multi-year planning tables in his book ‘Long Term Athlete Development’.

Post 2000, and for personal as much as professional reasons, he widened his focus to include the 0-18 year age group.

By 2020, the athlete Ian had looked after from 1980 to 2000 were aged on average between 40 and 60 years.

Where a generation is defined as a 20 year period, Ian’s involvement in a large sample size of athletes spans three generations (60 years).

It is on this basis that the ‘Child to Champion’ product range is built. This educational range is for parents, sports coaches and physical coaches – anyone whose work is with athletes of any age and who want to understand how to make better decisions with these athletes, to optimize their sporting outcomes and life after sport.
