What is True Athlete

True Athlete is a complete digital training manual built on four phases:

Phase 01 // Base Building

Phase 02 // Strength

Phase 03 // Power

Phase 04 // Speed

Each phase features a structured 14-day training rotation with clear guidelines for duration, progression, and deloads.

Within each phase, you’ll find two weekly sprint sessions combined with an Upper/Lower (or occasional Full Body) strength split, allowing for 5–6 high-quality training sessions per week.

This structure ensures balanced development across strength, power, and speed while maintaining optimal recovery and performance.

The included progression and duration schemes allow each phase to be repeated and scaled as needed, ensuring continuous adaptation and long-term progress.

Altogether, True Athlete delivers a flexible system that can be extended into 20+ weeks of high-performance programming.

Whether your goal is to build greater strength, explosive power, or peak speedTrue Athlete provides the blueprint to unlock your full athletic potential.

Who is it for

True Athlete is designed for athletes who want to maximize strength, power, and speed through structured, high-performance training.
It’s ideal for intermediate to advanced athletes who already have a foundation in resistance training and want to take their athletic development to the next level.

Whether you’re a field, court, or track athlete — if your goal is to move faster, jump higher, and perform stronger — True Athlete provides the framework to get there.

PHASE 01

Base Building

The Base Building Phase is where the foundation is built. This stage develops muscle mass conditioning, and resilience so you can handle heavier and more explosive work later on.

PHASE 02

Raw Strength

The Raw Strength Phase is where raw force is built. This stage raises your ceiling of maximal strength, teaching you to move heavy loads with stability, precision, and control.

VIEW MORE

Phase 03

Peak Power

The Peak Power is where strength is converted into peak power output. This stage shifts the focus from lifting the heaviest loads possible to moving sub-maximal weights, jumps, and throws with maximum speed.

Phase 04

Pure Speed

The Speed Phase is where explosive power is refined into maximum velocity. This stage emphasizes sprinting, reactivity, and rapid force application, pushing the nervous system to its highest output.
