Scene 05//Working Philosophy05
No.Tenet
I.

The plan is the argument

A programme should make a claim about the athlete in front of you. What they need, where they are, what eight weeks of work is supposed to produce. If you can't state the claim out loud, the programme isn't ready to write.

II.

Data is a lantern, not a map

GPS, force plates and VBT illuminate what you already half-suspected. The coach's eye still draws the route.

III.

Robust beats clever

An athlete who can train every week, every block, every season is worth more than the one who peaks twice and breaks. Fit, durable, available, in that order.

Scene 06//Field Note06
I make robust, fit athletes. The data is there to sharpen the work, not replace it.

If you're building something serious, I'd like to hear about it.

I take enquiries from programme directors, head coaches, federations and (occasionally) private athletes. Replies within five working days.
