Winter sports differ from summer sports in terms of climate, training environments, and the skill sets required for performance. Winter sports, like skiing and ice hockey, often emphasize slippery surfaces and speed, while requiring athletes to adapt to cold conditions. In contrast, summer sports, such as track and swimming, often involve outdoor settings and emphasize endurance and agility. The training for winter sports may also include specific equipment like skis or skates. These differences necessitate tailored coaching techniques and conditioning programs for each type of sport.
