Train to Train is the last phase before entering the Podium Pathway or Active for Life. This is where the future of many athletes is determined. It is part of the stage at which athletes are made or broken.
A good indicator of whether you are in the right phase or not, is comparing your current development to the standards provided by the Long Term Development framework as specified on this page for late Train to Train.
