I have been migrating my thinking away from the existence of GPP for myself over the last few months. Perhaps it is a matter of semantics but I want to tease out my thoughts a little more to refine and organize them. I have been pursuing what I consider general programs for the last few years and have never felt so ill prepared before. In theory, I've thought a GPP program should be a jumping off point for any sport specific endeavor. However, the tasks I've been pursuing recently have not aligned well and I feel further behind of a jumping off point than I would have thought.
This occurrence has made me really consider what a GPP program actually is if it even exists and what it looks like for me. I'm going to repeat that part - what it looks like for me. I believe the tasks I need to be prepared for are different than anyone else and my training should reflect that making all my training specific to me. In that case what is GPP for me? Is GPP the same for a farmer as a triathlete when they have to be prepared for pretty different tasks? What is similar between everyone that it can even be considered general? Does GPP exist?
I like the park and bus bench concept a lot and is where I begin to consider that GPP for me is simply the park bench in the park near where I need to go. In this case, the park I'm at is still specific to me. Is GPP the grand central that a person would need to get on one bus to get there before they can get on the bus that takes them where they need to go? Would it be better to be sitting in the park across the street from where you eventually want to be. Does sitting at Grand Central only make sense if you don't know where you need to go?
To be at a job interview at noon (spontaneous or planned), what does that journey look like?

- Sit at grand central and take the bus(es) directly to the interview. (Rushed/Risky?)
- Sit at a park across the street all morning and then walk over and sit in the lobby until it's interview time. (Calming/Time Consuming?)
- Sit at a park somewhere in town, take bus(es) to grand central, then take another bus(es) to the interview. (Exhausting/Really Risky?)
- Only interview at places near the park you're sitting. (Limiting?)
