The athlete must seek a constant upward curve, knowing that dozens, maybe hundreds of other share the identical some goal. Most significantly, the athlete must use a four-year envelope perfectly, gauging his physical and mental preparation in such a way as to guarantee an apogee on one day within a certain two week period.
