From nutritional requirements to strength and stamina  limitations, the needs of junior athletes are significantly  different from those of their adult counterparts. Bike Racing for  Juniors focuses on the physical, emotional, and developmental  demands faced by young athletes who compete in competitive cycling.  Designed to complement current training methodologies, the book  discusses the developmental considerations of every aspect of  training, including skill-building, weight training, flexibility,  psychological development, and injury treatment and prevention. The  importance of a young athlete's environment is addressed in chapters  on parental involvement, positive coaching strategies, and effective  communication. The book also explains how to start a junior team and  examines the unique rules of Junior (under 18) and Espoir (under 23)  racing as well as navigating the transition between the two  categories. With this book, today's young bike racers can find the  information and preparation they need to become tomorrow's pros.
