Your knees are the foundation of every move you make, so don't let them be the weak link. The ACL Armor Program is designed to give you lower body protection, strength, and confidence you need to play your hardest—and avoid the injuries that could sideline your career. This program was developed in collaboration with PTs, Coaches, and Surgeons. Don't let injury define you. Armor Up.

What You'll Gain

Stronger, More Resilient Knees: Build a solid foundation of strength and stability around your knee joints, so they can withstand the high-impact demands of your sport.

Injury-Proof Confidence: With every rep, jump, and sprint, you’ll build confidence that your body is prepared to handle any challenge that comes your way.

Maximized Performance: Injuries hold you back. Prevent them, and you’ll reach your peak potential faster than ever before.

Key Benefits of the Program Reduced Injury Risk: By strengthening key muscle groups and improving movement patterns, this program lowers the risk of ACL and other lower-body injuries. Improved Athletic Performance: Athletes will experience gains in speed, strength, agility, and overall coordination, making them more explosive and efficient in their sport. Increased Knee Stability: Strengthening the muscles around the knee joint (quads, hamstrings, glutes) improves knee stability and ensures safer, more controlled movements. Enhanced Joint Health: Mobility, flexibility, and prehab exercises ensures long-term joint health and longevity in sports.

Program Components Strength Training: Objective: Build foundational strength and stability in key muscle groups—primarily the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves—to protect the knee joint.

Plyometrics (Jump Training) Objective: Improve explosive power and reinforce proper landing mechanics to reduce stress on the knees during high-impact movements like jumping.

Agility and Cutting Drills Objective: Enhance directional change ability, reaction time, and knee stability during high-intensity, sport-specific movements like cutting and pivoting.

Sprinting Mechanics Objective: Improve sprinting technique to maximize efficiency, reduce excessive strain on the knees, and enhance overall speed.

Proprioception and Balance Training Objective: Improve body awareness and stability, which are essential for controlling movement and preventing knee injuries.
