We made the book and the course as compliments to each other, not duplicates. The book provides more graphics and analytical content meant to be consumed at a slower pace, while the course is a way to dive into all of the theory audibly with detailed explanations of how our system works by Dane Miller. Both the book and the course provide unique content.

Learn the 5 Blocks
What are the phases? How are they used and how are they developed over time depending upon individual athletes? When designing a program, the ATHLETE must be the number one thought, over and over again. Coaches need to understand and solve the athlete’s problems every single block, every single week, every single day, to get their athletes on the road to championship success. By diving deep into every block and athlete type, we will be able to understand the theory and slowly grasp the integration of principles.
Understand Athlete Types
Type 1
Type 2
Type 3
What the heck are these Athlete curves and analysis? How can you learn how to use them and build them into your programming? How do different people and different personalities respond to the same exact stimuli. Coaching is not a one size fits all but understanding the athlete type will make decisions quicker and more efficient.

United StatesThe Parabolic Periodization course will provide value to you and your athletes
In my search to fully understand periodization techniques that would benefit my athletes I was sometimes left feeling like there was a piece of the puzzle that was missing. We all have different strengths and weaknesses and we can address those specific weaknesses in our training however where Parabolic Periodization will add value to you and your athletes is it can help streamline your understanding of each athlete holistically and how to properly challenge/manage their needs based on personality type. Your athletes entrust their training to you and through this course you will develop a better understanding of them as an individual, how to communicate with them more effectively and how to set up programming to help them reach their ultimate potential. Through this course Dane showcased the missing 'puzzle piece' and I've already began implementing this system with my teams/athletes. No matter what style of training you are coaching there is no downside to having a greater understanding of your athletes and how to help them succeed.

United StatesParabolic Periodization: A practical guide to developing champions
Parabolic periodization is a comprehensive guide for coaches and athletes who are seeking more clarity to the development of an athlete from beginner/intermediate to an advanced level. The course demystifies a lot of information and literature that might not always be applicable to developing a clean athlete to progress at different stages in the sport. The largest takeaway that I've implemented in my coaching practice is the categorizing of different athlete types divided by certain psychological characteristics and physical responses to training stimuli.
