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.

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
