On Individualization

Individualization is one of the most talked-about principles in training. Everyone agrees it’s important. But once you move from theory to practice, things get complicated very quickly.

In this video, Mladen breaks down why individualization isn’t solved by using percentages, relative loads, or fancy tools—and why trying to create a perfectly “equal playing field” often leads to more problems than solutions.

This is not a step-by-step guide. It’s a deeper look at the real challenges coaches face when working with individuals inside team environments, fixed competition demands, and constant uncertainty.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • Are percentages really enough?
  • Why athletes respond differently to the same program?
  • Where individualization actually starts—and where it breaks down?

This discussion will give you a much clearer framework to think about it.

The full video is available exclusively to Complementary Training members.
