Most athletes don’t lose because they’re undertrained; they lose because their systems fail when it counts. We unpack a full, practical framework for competition prep and execution that turns hard-earned fitness into points on the leaderboard. From building a “maturity meter” through daily habits to knowing exactly when to chase threshold and when to game a Metcon, you’ll get a clear plan you can run tomorrow.

We start with becoming a student of the game: logging strategies, testing at real intensity, and identifying traps in event design before you face them under lights. Then we zoom into the taper: the lowest volume week with smart, safe intensity, plus a competition-week layout with a 3-movement primer Metcon and lift to wake your CNS without draining your tank. Traveling? We cover steps, mobility, time zones, and how to schedule warm-ups to the minute so you hit the floor hot, not flat.

Fueling is where many athletes donate positions. Learn how to hold your ideal performance bodyweight in prep, carb load without bloat, and hydrate beyond the bare minimum. On event day, we explain why lowering core temperature via hands, feet, and forehead is the unlock to exit a catabolic state, how to send the “recover now” signal with whey and carbs, and why 40 to 60 grams of carbs per hour for three hours beats lump-sum strategies for later events. We wrap with execution: find your competition-only gear in transitions, micro-pace upgrades, and relentless movement—without redlining in minute two.

If you want warm-up templates, taper structure, and between-event fueling you can copy-paste, this is your playbook. Subscribe, share with your training crew, and leave a review telling us the one tactic you’ll implement this week.
