- 02 Lay out the year Competitions, training blocks, work peaks, travel. Get the shape of the season on one page before you plan a single week.
- 03 Plan the week A weekly planner, day by day, with a weekly review at the end of it. What went well, what needs to improve, what to carry forward. Sample entry
- 04 Break down the day Time-blocked, with intent. The daily breakdown is where the vision turns into consistent daily action. Sample entry

Sample entries for the
Performance Journal.
