The Coach Francis info or Supergraphic was a eye opener to me in 2002. Unlike most periodization charts, this one had benchmarks and expected return on investment with various speed tests and weight room numbers. A lot of theory is out there regarding periodization, and to me it’s nothing more than project management. At the end of the day did you improve? After opening up my email to more black

How about hyper links to video examples of different themes of work or glossary so athletes forget what these items look like in the real world they have an click and boom there are the examples they need!

Ryan,
You can on Excel create hyperlinks to online video channels. Some teams do this already by making the exercises on the workout sheet linked to the URL. Also a good PDF creator can keep the links active when exported so the athlete can’t accidentally corrupt the file.
Also this is for the Coach, not the athlete….good suggestions and I will take note. Thanks Ryan.

Cool do you have a url thst use as an example for how you use this? I have also been playing with the idea on setting up a media library for my kids to do quick access to example of drills routines etc.

I can’t see all the categories, but I think a useful tool would be to include a few columns or rows that would allow the athlete/coach to record an emotional response (athlete) along with a coaching evaluation for each day. The athlete would record a number between say 1 and 10 about how he/she felt before the practice, and again after. It is a useful tool to compare actual performance measures to perceived recover state. Sometimes PR’s come when the athlete doesn’t feel fully recovered and vice-versa. I think over time these would help coach and athlete modify training to better understand what kind of workout the athlete might be prepared for, and possibly avoid, based on self and coach evaluations of perceived readiness/recovery.

Is there a way to evaluate or factor out the degree of progress from each microcycle (or shorter activity group)towards an ultimate performance goal? My thinking would be to show on an active chart a reflection (numerical or otherwise)from certain training elements towards a seasonal best. I guess this might also involve the real-time impact of various training systems as the phases continue their paths and integrate as well.
Certainly as star61 mentioned there would also be some factor associated with confidence, ease or lack of training session acomplishment, etc that figured in as well.

see above for daily recovery……you can copy and past the jpeg or send me an email for a modified template.
The annual planner and the monthly planner (workout template is weekly) looks similar to below.
Thanks for all the constructive help and ideas.

Seems like if this chart had a way to record testing also to show progress and give a history of basic tests dependent on the sport.
