Training requirements are directly tied to mission objectives. The level of training needed varies significantly based on your goal:

Casual participation → Basic training
Olympic competition → Elite-level preparation

This concept is perfectly illustrated in "The Karate Kid," where training was specifically designed for the All Valley Tournament.

Key Principle: This mission-training framework, borrowed from the military, is one of the best ways to understand human development.

The Connection Works Both Ways:

  • Higher trained teams can tackle more difficult missions
  • When performance is weak, you may need to downgrade the mission
  • When aiming higher, training must be accelerated
