Which of the following is NOT a step in the training program design process?

The choice indicating that developing marketing strategies is not a step in the training program design process is correct because the primary focus of this process is on improving athletic performance and training effectiveness rather than promoting the program to potential participants.

The training program design process typically involves assessing athlete needs to determine their strengths and areas for improvement, setting specific and measurable goals to provide direction and motivation, and implementing training to execute the designed program. Marketing strategies, while important for attracting participants to a program, do not directly contribute to the actual design or execution of the training itself, making it distinct from the core elements that directly influence athletic performance and development.
