Project Vertical:

Beginner to Low-Intermediate Track

This track is designed for athletes who need to build the foundation first

The focus is on learning how to move, land, brace, create tension, and produce force safely. Athletes will develop better coordination, stronger landing mechanics, improved posterior chain activation, core stiffness, and basic explosive strength

This version is ideal for athletes who are newer to structured strength and power training or who still need to improve their ability to control body position during jumping, landing, sprinting, and change of direction

Project Vertical is a 6-week explosive performance program designed for power sport athletes who want to jump higher, accelerate faster, move more explosively, and become more physically dominant in competition

Whether you're competing on the football field, basketball court, or volleyball court, explosive power is often the difference between making a play and missing an opportunity

Project Vertical was built to develop exactly that two qualities: Learn how to create and express force

What Athletes Will Develop

Project Vertical is designed to improve:

  • Explosive Power
  • Learn to generate force faster and more aggressively through the hips, legs, and trunk
  • Vertical Jump Performance
  • Develop the mechanics and physical qualities necessary to improve jump height and explosive takeoff ability
  • Acceleration and first step quickness
  • Learn how to project force into the ground to become more explosive during starts, sprints, and transitions
  • Improve deceleration, force absorption, and re-acceleration mechanics to become more efficient and explosive when changing direction
  • Build stronger, more powerful backside muscles, hamstrings, calves, and spinal stabilizers that serve as the engine for athletic performance
  • Develop the ability to transfer force efficiently from the ground through the entire body without losing power through unnecessary movement
  • Improve the ability to access and utilize full hip range of motion, allowing for more complete force production and athletic movement

The Result

By the end of six weeks, athletes should not only jump higher, but move more efficiently, accelerate more aggressively, change direction more explosively, and demonstrate greater control over their body during high-speed athletic movements.

Benefits
By the end of six weeks, athletes should not only jump higher, but move more efficiently, accelerate more aggressively, change direction more explosively, and demonstrate greater control over their body during high-speed athletic movements. Most importantly, they will learn how to create, absorb, transfer, and project force through the ground—the foundation of explosive athletic performance.

Final Message

Project Vertical isn't about teaching athletes how to jump. It's about teaching athletes how to produce force, become more athletic, and become more durable
