In this lesson, coaches are guided through the intricacies of refining athletes' techniques and preparing them for peak performance during the critical period of April to mid-May. With a focus on fine-tuning skills for various meets, including dual meets and invitationals, coaches are advised to strategically manage training volume and intensity. As the season progresses and regional competitions approach, the emphasis shifts towards reducing volume while increasing intensity to optimize performance. The lesson emphasizes the importance of balancing volume and intensity to prevent injury and enhance athletic readiness. Furthermore, it provides practical insights into integrating competition-specific elements into training routines, such as incorporating curve runs for high jumpers to simulate event conditions. By tailoring workouts to meet the specific needs of each athlete and event, coaches can maximize their team's competitive potential during this crucial phase of the season.
