Welsh Athletics National Development Programme (WA NDP) was held in Cardiff over the weekend. Four of our Menai athletes qualified after a very tough selection policy, of which Joseff, Teleri, Beca and Cara were selected and attended. The two full days of training and learning started at 09.15hrs on the Saturday through to 20.30hrs, before another full day on the Sunday starting at 07.30hrs for breakfast and ending at 16.30hrs. The weekend was a fantastic opportunity to learn about ourselves, the sport science, techniques and nutrition involved in our chosen athletics discipline. We even had to prepare our own snacks such as smoothies and protein bars – for before and after training ! Also, learning about which foods were most beneficial to our activity. We all had a great experience and are already looking forward to our next Development session in January. Cara Scott.
