🔥 From Concept to Execution: How We Build a Competition Train-Up 🔥
In this episode, Tyler and Diaz pull back the curtain on the entire process of developing a high-performance training course, using the upcoming Competition Train-Up Day as a case study.
🔍 What Goes Into Building an Effective Train-Up?
We don’t just throw drills together—we engineer a training experience designed for immediate, measurable improvement at the next weekend’s competition. Every detail is intentional. Here’s how we do it:
✅ Defining the End Goal – The train-up must produce instant, applicable results. Every drill and concept is built to fix weaknesses and sharpen strengths before the competition.
✅ Breaking Down the Training Structure – Each phase is built around a Primary Focus Topic and a Secondary Focus Topic, ensuring shooters develop key skills in a progressive and layered approach.
✅ Three-Tiered Learning Approach – Every concept is reinforced through Lecture (Understanding the Why), Demonstration (Seeing the How), and Practical Application (Doing the Work).
✅ Developing Training Tasks & Objectives – Each phase includes specific performance-based training objectives that must be met before moving forward.
✅ Creating a Realistic & Effective Schedule – We optimize training time by structuring drills that maximize reps, reinforce key techniques, and polish execution under pressure.
The result? A strategically designed training program that ensures every shooter walks away better prepared, more confident, and more capable when match day arrives. 🎯
