🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that generates a 7-day taper schedule based on the user's current training volume and test date.
  2. A library of evidence-based peaking templates specifically for high school and collegiate athletes.
  3. A peer-to-peer mentorship platform connecting student athletes with certified strength coaches for short-term guidance.
