Load Management

Due to the size of our program, the multi-sport nature of it, and the significant amount of activity that occurs outside of our program, we believe that it is impossible for MSA to measure and therefore manage physical workload in student-athletes.  

Responsibility for managing physical workload (outside of load set by MSA) rests primarily with parents/carers. As the student-athlete approaches adulthood, they take on more responsibility for planning and managing their own physical workload.  

 We encourage our families to proactively communicate with their coaches as part of this management. Additional information can be found in MSA Position Statement of Physical Workload and other resources below.
