In his book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective" (English title: "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People") describes the management consultant Stephen Covey various principles that are essential for effective action in professional and private life. A central principle is the P / PC balance.
P stands for the production of the desired results for the PK Produtionskapazität. As an example, Aesop's fable of Covey's golden goose. The plot in short form (no literary claims, please!): A farmer discovers that his goose can lay golden eggs. Through these golden eggs The farmer is very rich. Greedy become, he decides to kill the goose to her to immediately remove all the golden eggs. He finds out, however, that the goose is empty. She is useful only if it is alive. The farmer sets revealed a similar mindset as the bankers who are responsible for the financial crisis. Who defines only the value of P, ignoring PK will fail in the long term. The goose in the fable is, of course the factor that makes the PC. Without them, there are no long-term P.
The principle of the P / PC balance can be globally applied to life, but also specifically to the world of sport. P stands for the desired results, such as a particular rank in a karate competition, a certain Weight in the deadlift or the completion of a marathon. Who here is focused only on P will fail or achieve his goals but only at the cost of health damage. If you train only for the karate competition, not enough respect to physical regeneration and ignored signals that suggest a break or a different training approach, which is punished by joint problems and symptoms of overtraining. If you train only powerlifting, without supplementary exercises, joint mobility, etc., of the medium to long term, develop serious imbalances. Who runs only to create the marathon distance and no supplementary strength training makes that will be just as troubled by ankle injuries und sehr wahrscheinlich einen schlechten Laufstil entwickeln.
Also, ich habe hier einen Vorsatz für Euch für´s neue Jahr: Achtet auf Euere PK! Euer Körper, die goldene Gans des Athleten, wird es Euch danken!
