TEEN
Teen Program

Drive your destiny.

Every session is an investment in who you're becoming.

A strength, power, and conditioning program for teen athletes ages 15–18. Built to develop stronger, faster, more resilient, more capable athletes — in sport and in life. Training adapts to your season.

2 or 4 daysper week
90–120min per session
12 weeksper block
Ages 15–18year-round

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”

Vince Lombardi

Built for young athletes in pursuit of excellence.

This is for the teen athlete who treats training as the edge — the work that separates this year's athlete from last year's. Offseason, that means building into a different athlete before the next one starts; in-season, sharpening what the sport already demands.

01
The athlete who trains year-round.
Maybe you just finished a season and want to come back stronger. Maybe you're in the middle of one and want an edge it isn't giving you. Either way, you treat training as the thing that separates this year's athlete from last year's.
02
The athlete with big goals.
You have ambitions — in sport, in performance, in what you want your body to be able to do. You understand that goals of this scale don't happen by accident, and you're looking for programming that matches the size of what you're chasing.
03
The athlete who knows the work matters.
Whatever you're chasing — a starting spot, a faster line, a number you've never hit — you know it's earned through deliberate, repeated work. This program is built to deliver it.

What the training is actually for.

The order, the dosing, the platform — all of it exists to build specific things in a young athlete. Here's what the work is for.

Maximize the development window.
The teen years are when the nervous system learns fastest. Power and skill trained now build a ceiling that's far harder to raise later.
Power, coordination, and strength — in the right order.
Quality movement first, load second. The sequence is what makes strength transfer to sport instead of staying in the weight room.
Support the sport without the burnout.
Training is dosed around the competitive season, not piled on top of it — so the work sharpens performance instead of draining it.
Durability that protects the season.
Finishing work and balanced loading reinforce the joints and positions that keep year-round athletes healthy and available.

Why these weightings — pillar by pillar

STR leads. Strength is the foundation of athletic development. It's trained with priority because it compounds the most over time and underpins everything else — every other pillar's ceiling is shaped by how strong the athlete is.

PWR and SKL determine the ceiling. Power develops explosive force. Skill ensures that force is applied with precision. Both are trained early in the session and on dedicated days — fresh, with intent, with full recovery — so athletes develop real explosiveness and real technical capacity, not fatigued imitations of either.

MVT is foundational (not optional). Movement quality underpins everything. We invest consistently in mobility, positions, and control so athletes can access full ranges, stabilize joints, and move efficiently under load. Without this, strength and power gains are limited or misapplied.

COND supports performance. Conditioning is essential — but it is not the priority. It is trained deliberately so athletes can repeat efforts, maintain mechanics under fatigue, and express strength and skill when it matters.

FIN is discretionary — but valuable when time allows. The final pillar develops the supporting structures behind performance: accessory strength work that addresses imbalances, builds muscle, and strengthens connective tissue. When a session runs short, this is the first pillar to pull back. When time allows, it's where long-term resilience gets built.

Same six pillars as every Train To Perform program. But the dose is teen-specific — calibrated for a body still building its athletic ceiling, and for an age when deliberate work compounds faster than at any other point in an athletic life.

Two tracks. One framework.
Matched to your season.

The same methodology runs underneath both tracks. What changes is how much of it the athlete takes on — sized to whether the sport is in season or not.

Comprehensive · Offseason
4×/week
The complete build.
Four days a week, every pillar at full dose, trained in the window when deliberate work compounds fastest. Comprehensive is for the offseason athlete who has the time to commit and wants to come back transformed — not maintained.
Complement · In-Season
2×/week
An edge through the season.
Two focused days that add to what your season already demands. In-season, your sport is doing the conditioning and the skill work. Complement protects what the season doesn't — strength, power, and movement quality — so you finish the season more capable than you started it, not depleted.

Four days. Two rhythms.
One progressive trajectory of improvement.

Every session follows the universal order: mobility first, power or skill when fresh, strength in the middle, conditioning, accessory finishing last.

Day 1

  • MVTMobility + movement prep
  • PWRLower: jumps, throws
  • STRLower + upper paired
  • CONDShort mixed-modal
  • FINUpper accessory strength
Day 2
Skill + Conditioning
  • MVTMobility + movement prep
  • SKLFresh, technical work
  • STRAccessory pair
  • CONDExtended engine piece
  • FINPosterior chain accessory
Day 3
Power + Strength
  • MVTMobility + movement prep
  • PWRUpper: med ball, throws
  • STRUpper + lower paired
  • CONDShort intervals
  • FINLower accessory strength
Day 4
Skill Under Fatigue
  • MVTMobility + movement prep
  • SKLFresh rehearsal
  • STRModerate pair
  • CONDSkill + engine combined
  • FINArm + shoulder accessory
The Intersection

Day 4 is a key differentiator.

Most teen strength programs train skill fresh and conditioning separate, then hope the two merge on game day. That hope is usually wrong — skill under fatigue is a distinct capacity that has to be trained directly.

Day 4 deliberately combines skill and conditioning after both capacities exist independently. Double-unders at minute eight. Pistol squats with a heart rate at 180. Clean footwork when the forearms are on fire. That's where sport actually lives — and that's the day that makes the difference in preseason.

This is purpose-built teen programming — not generic strength training.

01
Complete on its own.
The full program delivers the complete training stimulus — mobility, strength, power, skill, conditioning, and finishing work — without needing to be supplemented. Whether you're in an offseason build or layering training onto a competitive season, the track meets the athlete where the season is.
02
Custom, not templated.
Every program starts from the locked framework, then gets built for the specific athlete — sport, training age, goals, schedule, and injury history. No two programs are identical, because no two athletes are. Coaching delivered in person in Jackson or hybrid for athletes training elsewhere.
03
Upper + lower paired, not body-part split.
Strength blocks alternate upper and lower movements in supersets. Energy stays high. Weekly frequency per pattern goes up. Sessions don't turn into a 45-minute leg grind — quality stays high and boredom doesn't win.
04
Skill under fatigue is its own day.
Day 4 builds the exact capacity that shows up in the fourth quarter. Wall balls after a sprint. Pull-ups at the end of a workout. The intersection of skill and engine — trained on purpose, not by accident.
The Athlete Experience

Inside the program: a purpose-built training platform.

Every athlete trains inside a custom platform built specifically for this program — so the work is visible, the form is reviewed, and the gains are tracked over time. It's the engagement layer that turns a program into a habit.
