You're watching the first six minutes of my latest Coach Athlete Members' video (#45). This focusses on training planning and the first blocks of the new training year in particular.
In the upload you will hear about the value of doing a SWOT analysis and why it is important to bridge the transfer gap. And - as the title suggests - why general preparation periods (GPP) are dead (or at least not of real value to most sprint and jump athletes providing you do other - "better" things).
