Keep it basic. The complexity will come by combining foundational
elements. Be targeted and focused. Never lose sight of the goal: to prepare the
athlete to be taken to their physical, technical and psychological limits in
the competitive arena. Training is a means to an end – nothing more, nothing
less. Constantly apply this litmus test to your training: Is what I am doing
in training nice to do or need to do? If it is not need to do don’t do it. From my
experience nice to do activities make you tired and hurt, need to do makes you
better and advances you progressively toward your training and competition goals.
