Managing Load During a Congested Fixture List

Managing Load During a Congested Fixture List

Discipline 5: Physical Performance — Lesson 10 of 12
Lecturer: Douglas Kerr

Feeling fine is not the same as recovered. This session covers tracking real load numbers rather than just feel, prioritising sleep and nutrition over extra training during a congested week, and flagging fatigue before it becomes an injury.

The three rules

1. Track your load numbers.
2. Prioritise sleep and nutrition.
3. Flag fatigue before it's an injury.

*The full breakdown — citations, the lecturer's own story, and the discipline's quiz bank — is part of the Spy Academy programme.*
