LTAD SHOULD PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL ATHLETICISM TO ENHANCE PHYSICAL LITERACY, MINIMIZE INJURY RISK, AND FOSTER LIFETIME HEALTH AND WELLNESS. MISSING FROM PREVIOUS MODELS OF LTAD IS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR DEVELOPMENTAL GUIDANCE ON THE PHYSICAL COMPONENT OF TRAINING YOUTH. THE NATIONAL STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ASSOCIATION (NSCA) POSITION STATEMENT ON LTAD ADDRESSES THE PHYSICAL COMPONENT OF TRAINING YOUTH TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL LITERACY.
