Implementation
What stalls progress vs what moves it
Specific-population manuals work best when the plan fits the athlete's actual event demands.
What stalls progress
- Copying a generic plan from a different event
- Chasing one supplement before the food pattern is stable
- Waiting until the athlete feels broken before acting
What moves it
- Match the plan to the event load and appetite pattern
- Keep food, hydration, and screening simple enough to repeat
- Use one coach or parent follow-up step this week
