Abstract
The dream of each trainer is to raise the Olympic champion. First of all, you need to find a very talented and motivated person who will be able to train a lot and achieve the goals. To find a good athlete you need a great selection from a lot of athletes.
In Latvia, the two main problems seen in developing young judoka are a lack of the foundational skill development and an over-emphasis on competition versus training. This project goal was to increase the number of athletes in Latvian judo by introducing a new training system (katas) and new style competition (skilled-based versus fighting-based). Using theory adapted from the Long Term Athlete Development model (LTAD) model, a new short LTAD theoretical description was created and research into Kata competition was conducted.
