Key features:
– Energy curve: making a difference between a ‘peak point’ and a ‘break point’.
– Learning curve: making the difference between a point-of-learning) that succeeds for people (‘base-levels’ and a point-of-performance that succeeds (‘best levels’).
– Highlighting the importance of anticipation: prevent injuries before you have to ‘fix’ things.
