Actions session was to challenge our thinking around how high performance programmes and frameworks are evolving in relation to the modern-day athlete.<\/p>\n<p>To help kickstart the conversations, Ty Sevin, one of the most influential track and field coaches in the US, who also serves as Director of Human Performance, Education and Research at Keiser, shared some of his thinking around the topic based on his experience of leading and being immersed in high performance environments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Selected discussion points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lot of modern-day athlete performance is based and driven around KPIs. When we think about periodisation and transfer of athlete performance, it is easier when there is a time to go or benchmark against. As practitioners and leaders of programmes, start to identify these metrics. Performance can become more complicated if they are absent.<\/p>\n<p>When we are talking about these metrics and KPIs, it\u2019s sometimes more powerful to just focus on the simple ones. The reason for this is that KPIs will inevitably change throughout the development of an athlete, and it will allow you more flexibility to balance out the individual characteristics of the athlete to a more micro-level.<\/p>\n<p>This process is also a fantastic way of driving feedback in the coach-athlete relationship. We can clearly identify top line metrics, but then skilfully combine our understanding of the athlete\u2019s characteristics, strengths and weaknesses to take them on a journey and show them a pathway to meet those measures. Individualised approaches to training and the environment as so important, because athletes will sniff it out so easily if your approach is the same for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>As we know, our environments consist of different generations of athlete. With more information available, it\u2019s important to know where to use that information and where to tone it down. This is why the point above around not being too rigid and comprehensive in terms of KPIs is important, because our athletes are different. Work with them on balancing how they are, what\u2019s important and what they need.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/view.publitas.com\/leaders\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow-roundtable-summary-19-8-21\"><button>View the full summary<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":8470,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[21],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-8469","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-human-performance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Creating Environments for the Athlete of Tomorrow - Performance Institute<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Creating Environments for the Athlete of Tomorrow - Performance Institute\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Performance Institute\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-12-15T05:11:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/GettyImages-1233907305-11.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2039\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1093\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/\",\"name\":\"Creating Environments for the Athlete of Tomorrow - Performance Institute\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/GettyImages-1233907305-11.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-09-01T10:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-12-15T05:11:45+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/performance-institute\/articles\/creating-environments-for-the-athlete-of-tomorrow\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/GettyImages-1233907305-11.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/GettyImages-1233907305-11.jpg\",\"width\":2039,\"height\":1093,\"caption\":\"BURTON UPON TRENT, ENGLAND - JULY 10: Jude Bellingham of England during the England training session ahead of the UEFA Euro 2020 final at St George's Park on July 10, 2021 in Burton upon Trent, England.
