PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REVIEW Nic Bideau 'Winning for Australian Distance Runners' On the eve of Zatopek:10, Nic Bideau hosted a seminar for Accredited Athletics Coaches sharing his knowledge and experiences as a High Performance Coach. Level 3 IAAF Coach Campbell Maffett was in attendance and reflects on what he gained out of the session with the world class distance coach. Nic's experience spans a number of Olympic cycles and the essence of his talk was about the steps involved in performing on the biggest of stages. It was refreshing to learn that his athletes, even with the quality of performances that they produce, still think in terms of basic steps - beginning with recording a qualifying time, and then being selected. There are few favours handed out no matter who you are, or who you coach. We also learned about which Australian venues and competitions are most conducive for good performances. After selection comes preparation and staying healthy during training. Nic's group rotates through a number of training camp locations in Australia, USA, Europe and UK, utilising each for critical phases of training carefully timed in relation to competitions. Another important aspect of training camps is the model of athlete leaders who guide and mentor younger athletes on a daily basis, leading by example. Of equal importance to the training camps is matching room mates and house mates so things stay on track both on and off the training track! Of course the focus of it all is performing on the big occasions, and the steps Nic goes through right throughout the preparation cycle to ensure athletes are ready, primed and able to perform when it counts...from competitions logistics, tactics, mental state and more. www.athletics.com.au www.athletics.com.au 27 27
