Periodization | Peak Performance

While reading Peak Performance by Brad Stulberg & Steve Magness, I came across the concept of periodization. The gist of the concept is to alternate the times of stress and rest for peak performance. This idea can easily be implemented in different areas of life where we need to improve performance, including sports, learning a new skill, physical training, etc. More info on the subject can be found in the book Peak Performance, or various articles such as on healthline.
