EA High Performance
Conference Vienna, March 2017
Dr. Wolfgang Ritzdorf German Sport University Cologne
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Structure
• No Best national practice
– No function, no mandate, no position in DLV
– IAAF responsible editor for all the CECS jumps
material
– Senior lecturer in dozens of coaches’ courses
– Consultant to some European Federations
– Director IAAF World High Jump Centre
– Coach for 30 years
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Therefore
• Some few ideas on how we can save/improve our level
in the international context
– Athlete centered
– Science based
– Coach driven

Athlete centered General
Michelangelo was asked the
question how it was possible to
make such a beautiful sculpture
form a block of marble
His answer
“David has always been there. I
just had to remove the
redundant marble”.
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
The classical approach
+ =
Potential Training Performance
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
The alternative approach
- =
Potential Performance Interference
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Athlete centered Technique
• Technical models
– Age related
– Individualized (workshop)
• Alternative approach
• Key elements
• If – then - relationships
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Athlete centered Physical
• LTAD
– What about the progression of our juniors?
• Annual periodization
– 10% SB in major competition (WCC; OG)
– PDI much worse than other countries (e.g. USA, JAM)
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Performance Delivery
Index (PDI)
Delivery defined as:
Medal in the final
Advance to the next round
Season’s best
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
PDI – Trend for Europe
20% 25% 30% 35% 40%
ATHENS OG 2004

Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Athlete centered
• Revision of our periodization models
– Individualized
• Training regime
• Competition regime
• Final preparation
• Life balance
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Science based
• Fundamental research
– Impact for training?
– Who makes the translation?
• Applied research
– Who asks the questions?
– Common language
– Mutual respect
• Performance diagnostics
– Relevant parameters
Science based
• Reactive strength is by far the most important physical
quality for jumpers
• Reactive strength has a biological determination
– Length, diameter and stiffness of tendon
• It can be developed but not basically changed
• Does the individual technique match the biological
properties? (workshop)
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
AIM:
Identify a relation between individual biological capacities
and movement pattern within a group of elite high
jumpers.

Coach driven
• Coaches are the key element
– Kids and youth coaches
– Top level coaches
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Coach driven
• Coach education
- Massive efforts when it comes to Olympic Games
- IAAF CECS
- EA Coaching Summit Series
- National programs
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Coach driven
• Coach education
- Content of the educational programs
- Focus on physical and technical topics
- What about “Coaching” - Coaching styles, communication, interaction, managing
support team ……
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Coach driven
• Coach education
- External input to national programs
- Consultancy
- Building communities / networking
- Web-based learning tools (IDDC) (workshop)
- Common training camps
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Coach driven
• Coach education
- Who coaches the coach?
- Best practice (internship)
- Mentoring programs
Dr. W. Ritzdorf Vienna 2017
Outlook workshop
• Some more input about (20 min)
– Technical models
– Scientific study
– Coaches’ Eye Project
• 3 working groups (30 min + 15 min summary)
– Athlete centered
– Science based
– Coach driven
• What can EA and/or EACA do to enhance athletic
performance?
