#29. Using Periodization For Basic Skills Training


Listen Later

Planning firefighter training can be really tough. Keeping the crew and yourself engaged is sometimes a struggle and it’s easier at times just to wing it. However, winging it usually leads to unfocused actions and just doing the same thing over an over.

Is there a concept out there that we can use to develop and plan relevant, useful and fun training?!

In this episode we cover:

  • What is Periodization and how can we apply it to basic skills training?
  • The three main components of periodization and how to apply them
  • Free downloadable template- 12 months of basic skills training calendar
