Colorado Springs, CO - A. Eugene Coleman to Receive the NSCA's 2013 Boyd Epley Award for Lifetime Achievement. Coleman served as the strength and conditioning coach for the Houston Astros for over 30 years and is recognized for his work with NASA.

The implementation of long-term athletic development (LTAD) aims to improve health, physical activity, and performance of all youth. Contemporary LTAD models suggest that a broad range of physical and psychosocial competencies should be developed in youth, but few resources are available for coaches that describe “how” to achieve these outcomes. This article overviews a coaching session framework built around the following components: raise, activate, mobilize, prepare, activity, games, evaluate (RAMPAGE). The framework provides practitioners with information on what can be planned and delivered and when within a coaching session, across multiple ages and stages of development within multiple contexts (e.g., physical education and talent development).
