Episode 74: Elements of a curling specific offseason training program 150 150 Stephanie Thompson
In this episode I provide a framework with which to put together your own offseason training program. I help you plan and organize what, when and why you will workout.   5 steps:
  1. Assess your performance, movement & fitness
  2. Identify your main priorities
  3. Determine how long your offseason will be & how the sessions will look
  4. Create a program that reflects the above
  5. Plan your reassessments and adjustments to ensure program is working
