MODELING OF GOLFER SPORTS PREPARATION PROCESS

Ovaj završni rad posvećen je temi razvoja golfera u dobi od 10 godina i starijih. Treba naglasiti da dugogodišnja sportska karijera ne počinje tim godinama, već je bavljenje sportom i građenje dugogodišnje sportske karijere nužno započeti u najranijoj dobi bavljenjem osnovnim sportskim disciplinama kao što su plivanje, gimnastika, atletika kako bi se poštovale senzitivne faze za razvoj sposobnosti i osobina budućeg sportaša. Kako golf pripada grupi sportova kasne sportske specijalizacije, idealna dob za uključenje mladog sportaša u golf jest 10 godina, kad i počinje lagano upoznavanje i usmjeravanje u odabranu sportsku granu. U završnom radu prezentirane su smjernice i metode planiranja i programiranja rada s mladim sportašima, budućim igračima golfa, u dobi od 10, 11, 16 i 20 godina. Iako je razmak između godina velik i, kad govorimo o dugogodišnjoj sportskoj karijeri, niz nije potpun, svojom strukturom će završni rad dati potpuniju sliku o razlikama u metodama te u planovima i programima rada u pojedinoj fazi dugogodišnje sportske karijere. Podloga za kvalitetnu izradu plana i programa prema periodizaciji sportske karijere golfera jest dobro poznavanje strukture golfa u vidu tehnike i taktike sporta te poželjnih antropoloških karakteristika i kondicijskih sposobnosti uz neprekidno egzaktno praćenje njihovog trenutnog stanja i učinaka treninga. Praćenje najnovijih tehnologija i saznanja u analiziranju i pripremanju golfera za vrhunska sportska dostignuća danas ne da nisu potrebna, već su jednostavno nužna i bez njih se ne mogu pratiti koraci kojima svijet ide naprijed. Izgraditi igrača golfa pravog sportaša i pridodati mu najnoviju opremu u ostvarivanju vrhunskih sportskih dostignuća velika je želja i misija autora ovog završnog rada.This Master’s thesis is covering the thematic of golfer development, aged ten or older. It is important to emphasize that the beginning of athlete development, and when talking about a long-term sports career it is important to begin at the earliest age by practicing basic sports disciplines, such as swimming, gymnastics, athletics, to help in respecting the sensitive phases for the development of ability and traits of a future athlete. As golf falls into sports with later sports specialization, the ideal age for involving a young athlete in golf seems to be the children with the age of ten, when begins the introduction and orientation into the selected sports branch. In this paper, I am going to be presenting the guidelines and methods of planning and programming in work with golf athletes in the ages of ten, sixteen, and twenty. Even though the age difference between those ages is big, and in its basis is not complete when talking about a long-term sporting career, its structure is going to bring a fuller picture about the differences in methods, plans, and programs in the individual phases of a long-term sports career. The grounds for a quality plan and program building according to the periodization of a sports career of a golfer is a good knowledge of golf structure through the technique and tactics of the sport, as well as desirable anthropological characteristics and conditional capabilities with continuous exact following of their current knowledge and effects of training. Following the latest technologies and cognition in analysing and preparing the golfer for the top-tier sporting achievements today are not necessary, but are simply unavoidable, as without them the advancements in the world cannot be followed. To create a golfer athlete and to enable him the newest gear in the process of achieving the top-tier sports achievements is my great wish and a mission
