Preparation Plan
Preparation Principles
Avoid major training or nutrition experiments immediately before competition.
Use a taper appropriate to the sport, event length, and training history.
Confirm event-day fueling and hydration through training whenever possible.
Protect sleep and reduce avoidable travel/logistical stress.
Plan recovery before the event rather than after fatigue sets in.
For medical conditions, injuries, medications, supplements, or unusual symptoms, use qualified healthcare guidance rather than relying solely on performance planning.
