Don't try to do all of it on day one. Read first, agree the plan with your coach and your family, get set up, and then start properly on a Monday.
Read the guide
All of it, in the order of the contents. It's about two hours of reading, so spread it over a few nights. Parents, read For Parents too.
Sit down with your coach and your family
Agree the plan before you start, so nobody is guessing.
Buy the kit
The short list. The full shopping list has everything else, like gear and skin care.
Book the dietitian
Show Me needs one professional: a dietitian consult for a rough guide to your daily macros. Details are in Bookings. Book it early, because it can take a couple of weeks to get in.
Set up and print
Do the one-off jobs in Set up this week, then print your sheets. Everything is on Printouts and downloads.
| Where it goes | How often | |
|---|---|---|
| 8-Week Tracker, set up with your plan | The fridge | Once |
| Your week | The fridge, next to the tracker | Again whenever it changes |
| Training log | Your mat bag | One a week |
| Weekly reflection | With your book | One a week |
Start on a Monday
From here it's on you. Nobody chases you, not your parents and not me.
Week 8
We sit down together and look at the eight weeks: the tracker, what I've seen in training, and what your family has seen. Eight good weeks and we start setting up Pro. If it's not there yet, we stay at this level until you're ready.
