Long-Term Athlete Development
Mikko Makela Developmental Hockey Inc. is very supportive of the LTAD model. It's our mission to follow the LTAD model as we work with our players. As coaches and instructors it is critical that we understand where the athletes are in relation to the model. The LTAD provides guidelines for planning for optimal performance for all stages of athlete development. The LTAD model is an important piece of the puzzle that parent and athletes should be educated in. The following link will connect you with all the documents. Please call if there are questions about the LTAD model.
