Welcome to the Blueprint!

This program will be broken up into 3 phases, each one being an important part of your performance pyramid that will finish with peak performance.

Phase 1 is all about laying the foundation, learning how to move well, increasing mobility, stability, strength and conditioning and giving your body some solid armor.

There are three intensive sessions each week with recovery days in between. Each workout will have a bit of a different focus, but the core principles will remain the same. Get faster, stronger, more explosive, more versatile, and more durable.

Build Your Armour
Blue Print Phase 1 is essential for building the armour that will protect you and empower during competition. This program includes a balanced blend of stability, mobility, strength, speed and power in each session to protect your against injuries and promote peak performance
benefit-image-1
Get Stronger
The athletes that you are competing against are getting bigger and stronger during the off-season, so this is essential for your own success. We focus on strength that drives performance. You are an athlete not a body builder.
benefit-image-2
Generate Speed and Explosiveness
The ability to produce power and explode across the field/court/rink will separate you from your competition. We incorporate speed work into every training day to drive explosiveness.
benefit-image-3
Competition Versatility
To be versatile means to have the ability to rise to the occasion in any situation. By exposing our athletes to different training stimulus each day we get you ready to dominate.
benefit-image-4
Take Advantage of Your Off-Season
The competition is working hard. They are training and getting ready for the season, so you need to be doing that as well if you want to compete next year. We give athletes the system to get them there while making it affordable and accesible.
