The following video represents a summary of the recent chapters I wrote for my upcoming book, plus a few additional concepts that I will be writing in more detail soon.
Here are the original Physical Preparation for Team Sports(Weekly Plans) blog posts: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6

In this video I am covering the following concepts:

Top-Down versus Bottom-Up planning
Functional Groups within the team
Mini-Block and their variations
Planning for microcycles of different length
Distribution of Strength versus Weaknesses work
Distribution of Individual versus Collective work
Probabilistic planning of the training components
Optimal time to develop certain qualities
Optimal combinations when developing certain qualities
Saturated/Sequential versus Distributed/Parallel approach in planning of the development of qualities, and concept of microloading
Heuristics of what needs to be done, from uncertainty perspective
Heuristics of when certain qualities should be developed taking mini-blocks into account
Much more that includes managing the Kanban boards of the functional groups, agile periodization and dealing with planning and working in teams sports

Physical Preparation for Team Sports: Weekly Plans – Part 5

What to do when?

Physical Preparation for Team Sports: Weekly Plans – Part 3

The dissection of the training week (microcycle) and distinction into recovery, loading and taper mini-blocks is of course artificial and represents a simple “jig” to be used to make decision making easier. In most cases we will use this simple model, but in some we need to realize it is only a model or a “jig” and we need…

Agile Periodization: Decision Making Under Uncertainty [Part 2]

In the first part I have covered issues and limitations of the contemporary planning/periodization strategies, and the idea that as practitioners we need to figure out how to make good decisions when facing uncertainties. In this final part, I am providing potential solutions to the issues identified.
