Do any coaches out there require training logs be kept?
I know a few that suggest it, but so many U23 coaches see to the do the thinking and recording.
I know for a fact that in Germany Throwers asked to do it. At least the ones who are in the national team. The Head Coach Jürgen Schult provides everyone with an Excel file which enables the throwers to put in their log entries. Not everyone is doing it but the ones who do will receive an overview. It is a really good training log which enables the coaches to check what their athletes have done and why there are improvements and downfalls in distances.
Make sense. My World History 101 professor said Germans write down everything, in a good way.
Who you know anyone who could give us an idea what caoch [articledefinition=2]Schult[/articledefinition] asks them to write down?

I coach a young 18 year old hammer thrower in Australia. We log everything much the same way Derek Evely @eveltrak does. We track whet hammers shift performance and keep all sessions short but at high intensity. Keeping record on performance levels enables better coaching decisions to made in the ring and in the weight room
@Slinking that's true. It could help you a lot to understand what's happening with your athlete. And you can even compare it with future athletes you are going to coach. See who develops how on which level. There are some athletes who develop differently by certain exercises and hence its interesting to compare all of it.

I might get a hold on it, but I have to talk to Jürgen first
My biggest decision for this athlete is to choose what hammer to improve the 6kg hammer. He is throwing 60 metres with the 6kg, 52 with the 7.26kg and 47 with the 8 kg, 42.70 with 9kg. I think the 9kg could be the one.
So I officially have been given permission by coach Schult to share how his German throwing training group are trained to log their sessions.
The new "Wurfteam Potsdam" (Training squads of Potsdam, at which [articledefinition=1]Jürgen Schult[/articledefinition] is one of the coaches) website was launched and therefore some training tools are available.

It is all in German though... but I bet one can get the idea. If you have questions, feel free to ask. I might be able to answer them
