The Ho Chi Minh City Track And Field Coach Training Concepts Present Situation And Countermeasure Research

The Ho Chi Minh City track and field team used to be the flagship of Vietnam track and field, it was the pride of sports in Ho Chi Minh City. But during these years, the performance of Ho Chi Minh city track and field team has declined, and it is also affecting the overall development of sports in Ho Chi Minh City and more so the Vietnam track and field. When a sport’s development is stalled for a long time, reflection on training concept is the first logical idea. This is not only to judge whether a training idea is right or wrong, but also to consider its degree of advancement. Some sports training cases are a great guide, but the passing of time may limit their effectiveness for current training practices, they are correct but may not have advanced properly.I have researched the training concepts of Ho Chi Minh trainers in a number of different ways. I have completed studies in a vast array of disciplines including literary studies, statistical analysis, logical analysis, practical observation by conducting surveys, and so on.As a result of this study, the foundations on which training concepts are built are strictly based on the theory behind athletic knowledge and the knowledge of practical application. It is the ideology behind the essential characteristics of sport, the laws of winning, the trends of individual sport development and the implementation of training and competition. Training concepts that contain geographical characteristics, characteristics of stability, variability and cross-referencing are a bridge between theory and real practice. Training concept is reflected on the awareness of the training subject’s insight in the training objects and the practical objective law. The subject can become cognizant of training methods by expounding on the practical objective law, to modify the objects body, mind and shape. It can answer the basic questions such as "why practice", "what practice", "how practice" and "how much do practice".Ho Chi Minh City track and field coaches should have a reasonable age structure. Most coaches used to be excellent athletes; they have enjoyed a high level career in sports. The coaches have all achieved a high level both in education and professional title; they have lots of experience to train athletes as well. Most master Coaches are retired athletes, so they are training apprentices with their training modes, leading to the training knowledge being "grafted" or "plagiarised". The training purpose is blind and lacks the support of modern scientific theories. Coaches train athletes mostly based on training experience, not on training technology. The knowledge and theories of the coaches in education have retrogressed from the needs of modern sports training.The training concepts of Ho Chi Minh City track and field trainers are still under the frame of the traditional employed theory "periodization". Because of the limitation of the Sports competition system in Vietnam, Coaches seldom have the opportunity to guide athletes in a competitive manner, especially internationally. They don’t focus on the development trends in modern sports. Due to the training concepts falling behind and show a serious signs of aging, training content in practice is not specifically targeted. Training arrangements and training methods, as they are understood and mastered are inaccurate. Blindness and a lack of innovation are confirmed in practice. The coaches’ lack of continuous training, continuous professional development and other opportunities to develop contemporary knowledge has been stunted for too long, it sets the improvement of the sport performance of Ho Chi Minh City track and field back.In order to change the situation with regard to the training concepts of Ho Chi Minh City track and field trainers falling behind, raising the level of professional sports training, and achieving a higher level, we have to initially change the concept of training. In practice, the arrangement of sports load should be comparable to a amount of high quality. Training content and methods should be useful and valid. Training plans should be reasonable structuring and of course a scientific rhythm. It should be far more people-oriented. Specific training should extend to the core values. High intensity training should be dominant.To improve the cognitive ability, knowledge of theory and coaching ability, it is very important to organize skills training systemically for the coaches in a planed way. Coaches at all levels should be required to attend regular structured training sessions. Select young athletes scientifically and strengthen to train backup talents from teenagers. We should endeavor to ameliorate management systems, medical services, food and accommodation, education and so on.I am hoping to further research advanced track and field training concepts and also advanced training methods. Both nationally, and internationally. I am hoping to highlight the lack of conceptual training being provided to the Ho Chi Minh track and field team, raise the countermeasures to change the limitation, endeavour to increase competitiveness of the Ho Chi Minh track and field team, and promote the sound development of track and field sports in Vietnam.
