periodization planning

what is periodization?

Periodization is a structured approach to planning training and recovery over specific periods to optimize athletic performance. This method ensures that athletes are challenged appropriately at each stage, allowing them to improve while also giving their bodies the recovery time needed to avoid burnout or injury.

why is it important?

Effective periodization is key to maximizing team performance while keeping players healthy. By carefully balancing training load and recovery, coaches can ensure that athletes are at their best when it matters most, like during key games or tournaments. It also helps prevent overuse injuries, which have increased tenfold in young athletes since 2000, ensuring teams train smarter without risking long-term health.

the pros we've worked with

I am pleased to share my experience working alongside Alex Olivares at the Austin FC Academy. Alex's leadership was instrumental in the development of a highly successful program that not only elevated the performance of our athletes but also transformed the entire organizational culture. His commitment to player development was evident through the innovative educational programs he introduced, which effectively empowered parents to better support their young student-athletes. Moreover, Alex excelled in mentoring and developing staff, instilling a sense of collaboration and professionalism that improved our overall program delivery. I wholeheartedly endorse him for any future endeavors.
