THE UNRIVALLED COMPLETE COACHES SYSTEM.
ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT GUIDE.
The Athletic Development Guide is a resource that acts as a system to maximise athletic performance and minimise the risk of injury for all field and court based athletes.
With an abundance of coaching experience in the US D1 College system, Semi-Professional Sport and in the private sector, the ADG is jam packed with a world class methodology that solves the endless problems we face as performance coaches to maximise twice the results in half the time frame.
What does the Athletic Development Guide include?
WHAT’S INCLUDED.
-
Movement Guide
The most comprehensive movement guide that covers each category of movement and what the most effective regression-progression model looks like with an abundance of exercises.
The movement categories covered include, The Big 6 main movements, Hip, Foot-ankle, Shoulder , Neck and Trunk Resiliency. Additionally, the model covers the lower and upper body plyometric continuum and olympic lifting derivatives.
With this resource, you will never sit there again questioning how to progress a certain exercise or feel like your exercise library is too broad.
-
Periodisation Map
This folder is a highly detailed road map that outlines what the focus is for each component of an athletes training across the whole year. This dives into the macro, the meso and the micro cycles and what the most optimal periodisation structure looks like to best maximise each physical quality.
This component of the ADG will prevent you from feeling confused because you don’t know what to do at certain points of the year and how they link up altogether. In conjunction, it will ensure you not only maximise results short term, but have the capacity to follow a high-performance structure that naturally progresses and monitors the athletes training for maximal results year round.
-
Warm-Up Guide
One of the most underrated components of training includes an athletes warm-up. Either coaches follow the same warm up for 10 years and the athlete becomes less adherent or their structure is poor and their athletes are not warming up effectively.
The warm-up guide covers what an effective Linear Speed, Lateral Speed and Weight-room Warm-up looks like and how each component is progressed to continually maximise results. Additionally, the guide provides an abundance of warm up drills that are categorised so that you can select and choose based on what you want your athlete to achieve and what works best for them.
-
High-Performance Programming Bundle
This bundle provides practical programming knowledge on what a program structure would look like at each point of an athletes training year. This dives deeper into what Off, Pre and In-season programs would require with the exact amount of volume for each movement category and what is prioritised on each day of the week. This containing 3 blocks per phase to illustrate the progressions and methods behind the development of certain qualities at each time frame of the year. In-conclusive of this, a 3-Block CNS-learning (Beginner) program is provided to distinguish what movement categories and what movement progression is required at different time stamps of an athletes journey.
This bundle is a system that allows you to program at different points of the year without having to think. The movement categories are in there for you organised on the right day with the efficient amount of volume. The movement progression and its implementation is all outlined so you know exactly how to program as effectively as possible to maximise each component of training in half the time frame.

Field Work (Linear Speed/ Lateral Speed/ Conditioning)
Most athletes are generally restricted to the weight-room. They do not complete any form of acceleration, change of direction, agility, speed and aerobic conditioning which leaves them missing 70% of the results. If the athletes to complete some form of this, they end to have no structure, no progression model that leaves them with half ass results.
This section of the ADG covers a periodisation of blocks and sessions that show how I progress my linear speed, lateral speed and aerobic endurance from off-season to in-season. These sessions target Acceleration, Max-Velocity, Change of Direction, Aerobic power, Speed Endurance and Aerobic capacity. Illustrating how the session is structured and what movement category each drill falls under. In conclusive to all of this, there is a guide with an abundance of drills for each movement category and physical quality so that you will never have to think of another drill again to maximise speed, power, agility and aerobic endurance.
-
High-Performance Assessment, Testing & Monitoring
Within this section, we cover what the most simple and effective high-performance assessments, testing and monitoring looks like. There is a ridiculous abundance of tests and metrics an athlete can utilise to measure and monitor performance. This sheet shows you what the most bang for your buck tests are and what metrics you can analyse to best depict changes to performance. In conjunction, under this, you will see there is a range of assessment tests you can do for an initial session based on a certain injury and or issue (i.e. lower back pain). This will assist with understanding how the athletes body compensates and how to program accordingly to mitigate these issues.
You are either testing or guessing. Why not find out how to best evaluate and monitor performance to maximise results and prevent the risk of injury?

The Athletic Development guide is the most comprehensive guide I have ever seen for programming for athlete development in all facets of training. The level of detail not only allows for a base program structure, but then clear and simple progressions in every movement and skill development. It has taken the guesswork out of progressions and programming and saved me a lot of hours. This guide is absolutely essential to anyone who coaches athletes

I seriously couldn’t recommend this guide enough! As a new coach coming out of university this guide has been extremely helpful in being able to systematically organise exercises and follow an easy progression and regression format. The ability to not only use it for gym based exercises but also field session has been extremely helpful. This guide has made programming a million times easier. Before I was having thinking about exercises and what exercise is the next progression and now I look at the guide and follow and it has been a life saver. Instead of spending my whole weekend programming, I now do it in a quarter of the time. Honestly dirk thank you for this!

The Athletic development guide is a very extensive guide for athletic development any S&C coach can get there hands on. The simplicity, high detail and well structured format of the guide has made my job of writing, progressing and regressing programs as a coach simple and effective. Can’t recommend this highly enough. Crucial for every up and coming and experienced coach who wants to take there coaching to next level.
