The whole year on one ribbon.
Player-centric annual planning with six macro phases, real sub-types, and a drill-down from twelve months to a single week — all of it bidirectionally synced with the calendar.
Six macro phases, all named, all coloured.
Summit's annual plan is built around six macro phase types, because that's how serious coaching seasons actually work:
- Training — base / build / specific / peak — the working blocks of the year.
- Taper — deliberate volume drop into a peak event.
- Competition — graded events, county circuit, club tournaments.
- Major Championship — the targets the year is built around.
- Recovery — planned, scheduled, accountable — not the absence of training.
- Holiday — protected. The player goes away with permission from the plan.
Each macro phase can carry a sub-type (Bronze grade, Silver grade, national event, club open, etc.) so the colour-coded ribbon doubles as a real legend. The coach decides what each block contains; the player sees the whole year in one glance.
Drill down: year → month → week.
The same plan can be viewed at three altitudes. The annual view gives you the year on a single horizontal ribbon. The monthly view zooms into a single month with the same colour language and the same blocks — plus a combined overview bar and a Show-detail toggle. The weekly view zooms further still: ISO-week navigation with weekday/weekend day-headers visually differentiated, every session, every exercise, and every annual-plan block visible in the same surface.
Bidirectional calendar sync.
When a coach adds a competition to the player's annual plan, it appears on the player's calendar. When a player adds a tournament to their calendar, it appears on the annual plan. The two surfaces are not separate data — they're two views of the same player schedule. No duplication, no double-entry, no drift.
This is the bit other tools miss. An annual plan that doesn't sync to the calendar is decorative. Summit's annual plan is the calendar, viewed at a different scale.
Built for the conversation, not the form.
Annual planning conversations between a coach and a player are some of the most valuable touches of the year. Summit's annual plan is built to host those conversations on screen — the player can see what's coming, ask why a training block is the length it is, point at a competition they want to add, and propose a holiday week they need to protect. The picture in front of both of you is the same picture, in real time.
