Your Complete Guide To Become A Better Athlete in 2025 If you are an athlete or coach working with athletes looking to: - Get speed - Jump higher - Get stronger - Build better endurance Follow this outline & you will reach better athleticism in all areas Let's go ⬇️
1. TRAINING OUTLINE We will aim to train 3-5x/week depending on time & availability. Our ideal schedule will go as follows: - 2-3 days a week training speed & jumps - 3 days a week total body lifting - 1-2 days a week of aerobic development We will perform 4-week training blocks with a specific focus of: ▫️Strength ▫️Power ▫️Speed
If we can only workout a few days a week, we can combine these aspects into 3 days of training following the structure of: 1) Sprints 2) Jumps 3) Lifts 4) Aerobic Training Sprints & jumps are the priority since those are the most important for athletic development.
2. SPEED WORK We will break up our speed work in 3 days: ▪️2x/week Acceleraration ▪️1x/week Max Velocity We will aim for a total volume of at least 150m or yards per workout. Sprinting at max effort is the most important aspect of improving speed.
ACCELERATION We will use the following tools to improve our acceleration: ▪️Heavy sleds to improve early acceleration ▪️Moderate sleds to improve power ▪️Light sleds to build late acceleration We will use unresisted sprints to work the skill of accel while building velocity. On acceleration days we will also train brakes & non-linear movements. Learning how to accelerate & change direction in short spaces is key to optimizing athleticism.
MAX VELOCITY We will use the following tools to improve our top speed: ▫️Bounds ▫️Wickets ▫️Build Ups We will make sure to perform these reps over distances greater than 30m Remember, speed at top speed is a huge part of overall athletic development.
3. JUMP WORK We will focus on 5 different types of jumps: 1) Vertical 2) Horizontal 3) Lateral 4) Rotational 5) Bounding We will start with single-response plyos & build to higher-level plyos as the year progresses.
Here is an example of a jump types we will perform: SINGLE RESPONSE ▫️Broad Jump ▫️Box Jump MULTIPLE JUMPS ▪️Triple Broad Jumps ▪️Hurdle Jumps ADVANCED JUMPS ▫️Weighted Jumps ▫️Box Drops We will conclude our jump progression with depth jumps & bounding.
4. LIFTING We will focus on multi-joint movements & focus on these fundamental movements: ▪️Squat ▪️Clean ▪️Press ▪️Snatch ▪️Jerks ▪️Pulls ▪️Posterior Chain We will aim for 800-1200 total reps a month We will train between 70-90% intensity, touching on weights above 90% Our main goal with our lifting program is to improve relative strength.
5. AEROBIC DEVELOPMENT We're going to keep this simple. Tempo runs to build aerobic outputs (run at about 70% of intensity). Anywhere from 1000-2000m of volume. I have also had athletes run longer distances of 1-3 miles for leisure, which had ZERO impact on their speed. Don't listen to coaches who are so hyperbolic with aerobic training. You need aerobic development to improve repeated outputs as an athlete & support recovery.
6. MEASURE & RECORD We want to pick a few types of tests that we will use to measure progress. Pick a test for each of the following: 1) Sprint (30m Sprint or 10m Fly) 2) Jump (Vertical or Broad Jump) 3) Strength (1 RM or Belt Squat) Build these into your workouts to track progress over time & build workouts to target specific needs.
7. NUTRITION We will focus our nutrition on whole foods & keep processed foods to a minimum. Aim to reduce BF% to maximize speed & power development. Build a diet around the following foods: ▫️Fruit ▫️Dates ▫️Honey ▫️Raw or A2 Grass Fed Milk ▫️Eggs ▫️Lean Beef ▫️Cooked Greens ▫️White wild-caught fish ▫️Mushrooms ▫️Butter ▫️Coconut Oil
8. SLEEP A key aspect if you are looking to stay healthy & support growth & recovery. A few notes on sleep: ▪️Limit blue light 1-2 hours before bed ▪️Try to go to bed & wake up at the same time ▪️Sleep in a dark & cool room ▪️Turn off wifi during sleep Optimize your sleep to optimize your athleticism
9. HYDRATION Focus on drinking clean water sources Either spring water or reverse-osmosis water .5 oz of water for every pound of body fat
