Describe whether the tests show that progress is being made as planned?

• I am very pleased with Bens progress over the four weeks. He has clearly improved as the test results show and I look forward to the next 4 weeks working with Ben and helping him improve further. Over 35m Ben has improved by 0.10 and from 16in to 20in on his vertical jump. This is very good progress over just four weeks when you consider the weather that he has trained in and alongside his rugby and gym commitments.

Does the mid point review show that weeks 5-8 need to be adapted?

Describe How you will adapt your sessions?• No. As in my session plans I am looking to

adapt my training so that it is more strenuous in order for him to progress more.
