The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with periodization.
Let me work through the most likely causes from most to least common.
**Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 53% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. sports has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a timing or sequence issue that only shows up under specific conditions.
To narrow it down: try periodization in the simplest possible isolated environment first. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Before jumping to solutions, it helps to understand where things typically go wrong.
**Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 40% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. sports has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
