Simplicity - The Answer

A recurring theme of this blog and a consistent philosophical tenant of my career has been an emphasis on simplicity. I have said time and again that simplicity yields complexity. Simplicity also yields clarity. Simplicity can be translated into action in training and in competition. Making training simpler, by focus on the unifying elements, the whole, and the big picture, can quickly solve major training problems. Breaking them down into microscopic parts does the opposite, it complicates. Connections and relationship are clearer with a big picture perspective. Simplicity allows the obvious to be obvious. Simple is not simplistic, far from it. Simple is not stupid, if fact it is brilliant.
