#29. Using Periodization For Basic Skills Training

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
