Periodization

Wedge,

Get onto triphasic.one!
I dont know how well conditioned you are but if you read below, i might advise keeping ur pickup/ultimate time to once a week unless its skills (throwing). Triphasic will take up considerable time per session and better to focus all your available time on it at the start is very beneficial.

Just to answer general periodization stuff…
Think of it in the perspective of consecutive blocks of time (3-4weeks per block). Each block focuses on a specific training that becomes more sport specific as you get closer to your next event. Usually the base stuff which doesnt seem specific to sport comes in first like an off season strength program. Triphasic one has four blocks totalling 12-13 weeks. Best to just focus on this especially since u have chronic injuries. Usually chronic injuries stem from doing too much of a “bad” thing i.e. Ultimate (asymmetries, go figure).

Once that finishes you can do in.season program while focusing on agility. You can overlap the last phase of triphasic one and first phase of agility zero/one cause they should transition well together.

Energy systems wise, the conditioning programs are fairly general and best used when leading up to an event. Otherwise its best to do a conditioning test such as a modified coopers test to see where you might be able to spend time developing before going into the shuttle/goose cone stuff.

There is a lot to talk about. Keep asking and reading 🙂 waiting for more nice discussion.

What’s your lifting history like? Are you familiar with the kind of movements the programs here prescribe?
The corrective stuff is similar. In terms of stress on the body, triphasic is much much more stress. So, really, its the stress and understanding of the movements that factor most into whether you could just go for triphasic. If a newbie attempts triphasic, it will be too steep a learning curve.
Unless other coaches have any input to add, cause this is my best judgement of the situation.

With question 2,
It is dependent again on how much overall training stress you’re exposing yourself to.
You can do conditioning and agility even during the season, but the only scenario likely for that to occur is if you’re practicing Ultimate once (twice is pushing it) a week. You also need to think about how focused your training is. Trying to make adaptation to more than one focus is going to cost something. Adaptation only happens under high specific stress.

A conservative answer would be to do everything up to just before season starts. Assuming during season you are playing 2-3 times a week with your team and having tournaments on average every month, which all you need outside of that is in-season.one

If you’re like me having a full time job and only have the evenings and weekends to train, i have to specifically target a single goal per block. As an example, that means i dont play almost any ultimate during an off-season strength block ~9 weeks and just do throwing whenever i can.
