Calendar skills periodization

Custom runway into Challenge de Catalunya 2026

The graph shrinks or stretches to the flagship length and adds two blank buffer weeks up front. Those tabs are clickable—pick a color strip to jump straight to that week’s drill stack below. The flagship window is still highlighted, but we no longer show the default 52-week grid.

Drills intentionally oscillate from slightly easier to harder sets every one to three weeks. That nudges players into more/less challenge to simulate pressure, which is why the readiness curve wiggles rather than climbing in a perfect line.

How to read it

  • • Two muted tabs (Runway & Travel) stay empty to account for logistics, testing, or light play.
  • • Colored tabs match the flagship weeks; clicking them scrolls to the detailed week cards.
  • • The wavy curve shows readiness responding to drill difficulty spikes meant to recreate tournament pressure.
