Ultimate Goal to Optimize Performance and Reduce Risk of Injury

Four General Principles to Follow When Using This Pyramid

1. Specificity:  training specifically for the sport

2. Progressive Overload:  training should begin at a tolerable level and increase in intensity and volume toward target

3. Prioritization:  priorities should be developed according to capabilities and sports-specific demands

4. Periodization:  Certain type of training, certain portion of a training cycle, or a certain length of time within a training cycle
