The training process of a team invariably consists of certain procedures, routines and drills. The goal of training is to ensure each and every individual reaches minimum level of physical and mental fitness. From this point onwards, onus is upon the coach to identify the best individualized and specialized form of training. A person who is a natural athlete should be trained differently as compared to one who is not. A person with self doubts will require not just physical training but mental conditioning as well.

If the member is very good, then the coach can easily step it up and try to make him or her the star player of the team. On the other hand, if any member is just not up to the mark, the coach can go out of the way and set up a training regimen that will give the member a last shot at staying in the team.

This means that the training process should not only focus on winning the next game but also on converting the existing unit into a winning unit at all times. Needless to say, there are too many variable factors involved for any team to successfully win all the time. It is only an idealistic goal to ensure the training process caters to the specific requirements of individual.

Training is not just about lots of exercise and drills. It is also about smart changes in the diet. A person who does not enjoy a good health should resort to sports drinks to boost health. On the other hand, it is advisable to ensure team members do not become too muscular for their own good. Excessive muscle by spending lots of time pumping irons and consuming sports drinks may backfire where flexibility and agility is important. The team training process should consider all this and more.
