What is training camp?

| It is said that "wanting is power" ... More and more amateurs "emulate" professionals and invest their free time in what is known as "training camp".

For a few hours or days, activities are carried out by and for the sport that is practiced. At the end of the day, it is about sharing theoretical and practical experiences, without forgetting that we are human and that emotions are also part of our being.

• Spending a few hours or days to accumulate and share theoretical and practical experiences about the sport we practice is the basis of a training camp.
• Acquiring more knowledge to improve, meeting people who practice the same sport, being able to ask professionals ... are some of its incentives.
• More and more health companies take into account the athlete and their needs that is why they offer products and services designed specifically for them.

The reasons for attending a training camp are diverse; meet people who practice the same sport, travel to another place ... although in general they all have a common denominator: acquiring the necessary knowledge to improve.

It is evident that the person who dedicates his life to it, whoever it is, must devote himself to it and invest all the necessary hours to achieve his objectives. The amateur athlete, on the other hand, balances to reach everything, the family, work and sports. Looking for a while at lunch, at the end of a meeting or at the weekend ends up being an obsession for some. Going out on a bicycle, running or swimming, for example, are disciplines in which to obtain good results, perseverance is required but also technical knowledge, that is, a theoretical part, which for many is just a “mere detail”.

An attractive cocktail

In a training camp the "cocktail" is the attractive factor for the athlete. It offers the opportunity to hear, from the professionals who participate, the best first-hand information. This is not only specific and technical of the sport in question, but on many occasions they talk about everything that one takes for granted and that does not enter or assess how it is doing. We refer to nutrition or health, for example. Wanting to scratch a second off the clock in the next competition or know what the proper racing technique is is essential for those who go to these forums, but what about "invisible training"?

The information related to what is not directly sports technique is essential to be able to improve and the objective of the professionals is to try to cover everything that seems to be "unimportant" and in this way make the athlete a "more important" athlete. full". Having a clear basis for nutrition or knowing the body's reactions to exercise are data that can help the athlete on their way.

The social part

There is a point in favor of those attending the training camps: not only will they enjoy the sport and the place, but they will also meet many people with whom they can share personal experiences and who contribute and enrich a lot. The social part of the event is a very important added value. We are beings who in general like to share and when we live in a group, doubts end up, comments that can be applied by oneself.

There is also another advantage: having professionals close at hand, which would otherwise be impossible or difficult. Outings or training sessions are done in groups, but also more relaxed moments are shared, such as meals or after talks that allow people to approach and ask those who have more knowledge. So why not try it sometime?
