The concept of periodization of training as developed by Bompa, meaning “structuring training phases to lead to the highest level of speed, strength, and endurance”, and “the division of the annual plan to ensure an optimal performance for the main competition” has been fully embraced by sport training in the past 10 years. This presentation will propose a model of periodization of psychological skills training. In order to optimize performance, a plan must be devised that will combine the specific needs of the athlete, the requirements of the sport and the concrete demands of the different training phases. A classification of psychological skills in terms of foundation skills, performance skills and facilitative skills will be discussed and the timing and order of teaching these skills will be suggested within the framework of the three main elements indicated above. An example, using long and triple jump as the sport activity will be used to illustrate in detail the proposed model.
