“The predictions that a periodized structure tries to make, based on assumptions of fitness equaling tactical ability, they just don’t work for team sports.”

“If we can get outside of our space, recognize a theory for it’s base assumptions, and then dig into the minds of people who have more perspective, I think that’s something that can allow us to start making progress on chipping away at what transfer looks like and what periodization looks like in teams.”

Jake Jensen rejoins us to discuss some of the history and contemporary practices in the periodization of programming in this weeks My Thoughts Monday. This includes some of the assumptions made by traditional periodization theories, and how those theories that originated in track and field may have limitations in team sport. This leads him to his main thought on periodization, and that is that there are plenty of theories that exist, and with all the new tools we have access to for us to better evaluate and test those theories to better connect between theory and practitioners and drive better conversation to uncover the unknown unknowns.,
