A scientific approach to strength, speed, and movement skills for youth athletes
Why do some players improve year over year while others get stuck and never reach the next level?
You’ve probably noticed that the best athletes have fantastic body control, making even the most complex movements look effortless.
But what looks “easy” on the surface reflects years of practice combined with deep physical literacy and exceptional movement skills.
Unfortunately, today’s focus on early specialization and year-round play has led to an unsettling trend in injury rates and a lack of overall athleticism.
Coaches and parents prioritize skill, while the engine that drives skill development is neglected.
But without a solid foundation—one of proper movement, strength, speed, power, and mobility—most athletes will hit their “ceiling” by high school.
After all…
You can only build as high as your foundation is deep.
And now is the time to not only bring up the floor but to raise the ceiling, too.
Youth athletes are in a developmental window where small changes can trigger dramatic and lasting changes in speed, strength, and neuromuscular coordination. Adaptations that last a lifetime.
The vast majority of parents, coaches, and, by extension, our athletes are completely missing the boat on long-term development, relying on outdated concepts and “back in my day” logic.
It’s not their (err…your) fault.
There’s a massive amout of confusing and contradictory information, making it exceedingly difficult to connect the right dots.
The good news…
For more than fifteen years, my team and I have been playing an entirely different game, combining science-backed training methods with the latest technologies to develop robust, versatile, injury-resistance athletes.
And we’ve distilled everything we know into a simple, effective, battle-tested program we’re excited to share with you.
