S – Strategy
M – Mental Skills
A – Athleticism
R – Real World Skills
T – Technical Literacy

Annual Periodization refers to paying appropriate attention to the time of year and the competitive or training priorities. We prioritize aspects of the Five Trainables at different times of year to maximize performance. Summer – we don’t train the same in summer as the week before Nationals.
