True Athlete - The Complete Training System for Athletes

TRUE ATHLETE

The Complete Training System for Athletes

True Athlete is more than just a training program.

It’s a structured system designed to maximize athletic performance across every physical quality: work capacity, strength, power, and speed.

Developed as a long-term framework, True Athlete guides you through the entire process of building the complete athlete, from developing foundational capacity to expressing elite-level explosiveness and velocity.

Every part of the manual is built around one central idea: training structure, progression, and performance.

The Philosophy Behind True Athlete

Athletes often face one of two key challenges: a lack of structure or a lack of progression.

Most training programs fall into one of two extremes: they’re either too rigid, leaving no room for individual adaptation, or too unstructured, making consistent progress nearly impossible to sustain.

On top of that, many athletes simply don’t have the flexibility for long 10–16 week programs due to competition schedules, multi-sport participation, or injuries. As a result, training often becomes inconsistent and lacks proper, goal driven structure.

True Athlete solves that problem.

It combines high level programming structure with flexibility, allowing each athlete to train according to their current needs, sport, and performance level.

Rather than locking you into a fixed 12-week plan, True Athlete provides a framework that can be scaled, repeated, and evolved — creating long-term, measurable progress.

Every phase, training rotation, progression model, and deload strategy was designed with one purpose:

to build an athlete who’s strong, explosive, and fast — all at once.

The Four Phases

True Athlete is divided into four training phases, each serving a distinct role in your development while seamlessly connecting to the next.

While every phase has its own primary focus, all are designed to simultaneously develop strength, power, and speed,  ensuring balanced, well-rounded athletic progress throughout the entire system.

Phase 01 // Base Building

The foundation of long-term performance.

This phase develops work capacity, muscle mass, and aerobic conditioning — preparing your body to handle heavier, more intense training later on.

By using moderate loads and higher volumes, you’ll build structural resilience, improve recovery, and strengthen the tissues that support high force output.

The focus is not on lifting the heaviest weights, but on preparing your body to do so safely and efficiently in the future.

Phase 02 // Raw Strength

The Strength Phase is where raw force is built.

Here, training intensity increases while volume decreases, shifting the focus to maximal load, bar speed, and technical precision.

Every lift is performed with control and intent at higher loads.

The nervous system, muscles, and connective tissues adapt to handle higher forces, laying the groundwork for explosive power and athletic efficiency.

Phase 03 // Peak Power

Once strength is built, it must be applied fast.

The Power Phase transforms raw strength into explosive, higher velocity performance.

Here, the focus shifts from maximal loads to submaximal weights moved at maximal speed.

Every rep, jump, and sprint is executed with intent — high force, high speed, and technical sharpness.

This is where strength is applied in fractions of a second, and performance becomes explosive.

Phase 04 // Pure Speed

The final phase — where power turns into precision.

The goal is simple: express force at the highest possible velocity.

Training prioritizes maximal sprinting, short ground contact plyometrics, and light, velocity-based lifts.

Fatigue management becomes crucial — every session is about quality and precision of movement.

This phase is often used to peak before competition, but can also be repeated throughout the year to maintain top-end athletic speed.

The Training Structure

Each phase follows a structured 14-day training rotation, with deliberate changes in load, volume, and intensity across sessions. This approach ensures balanced development — improving strength, power, and speed while promoting consistent adaptation and recovery. 

Each training week (within the 14 day rotation) includes:

• Two weekly sprint sessions (acceleration + max velocity focus)
• Three to four strength sessions (Upper/Lower or Full Body splits)

That means 5–6 high-quality sessions per week, each with a clear purpose.

Every training session builds on the last, creating a smooth transition from foundational capacity to maximal output.

Progression & Duration

Progression in True Athlete is designed to be simple, structured, and repeatable.

Each phase follows a 14-day training rotation that can be repeated and scaled based on individual progress. Depending on the phase, different progression variables are emphasized, such as training volume, load, bar speed, or technical precision.

At the end of each phase, you’ll find clear progression guidelines, a full example training cycle with defined intensity ranges, and duration recommendations to help you plan and track long-term progress.

Together, these systems can be scaled into over 20 weeks of structured, high-performance programming, all within one cohesive framework.

What’s Included

The True Athlete Training Manual comes as a digital download (PDF), including:

• Introduction Manual: Explains the full framework, core principles, and structure
• Four Phases: Each with 14-day rotations, duration/progression schemes, deload examples, and exercise alternatives
• Additional Information: Warm-up guide, recovery insights, and final notes for long-term success (+ glossary explaining all exercises)

In total, you’ll receive over 150 pages of detailed, high-performance training content — designed for clarity, precision, and results.

Who It’s For

True Athlete is built for intermediate to advanced athletes who want to improve their performance in strength-, speed-, and power-dominant sports.

Whether you’re a field athlete, sprinter, or simply someone looking to move faster, jump higher and lift heavier — this system provides the structure to take your training to the next level.
