ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Having performed as a professional athlete, I understand what goes through your mind and how difficult it can be to improve your performance and take it to the next level.
The three biggest changes in my life have come from improving my strength and conditioning, enhanced flexibility, and increased ability to focus through meditation and visualization.
Meditation and visualization have helped me control my emotions and simulate live competitions before they even happened.
Adding yoga and extended periods of stretching have reduced my injuries to almost zero and have improved my reaction and speed.
Improving my nutrition has more than allowed me to continue performing at my peak under difficult climatic conditions which might have affected me in the past causing cramps and muscle pulls.
By far, meditation and visualization will change everything no matter what athletic discipline you’re in. You will see how powerful it is once you spend more and more time on it and dedicate a minimum of 10 minutes a day to breathing, focused thinking, and concentrating.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXERCISES
Each split (upper, lower, core and speed/explosiveness) will have 10 different exercises that you can choose from.
PREMADE TEMPLATE
You can also choose to follow our pre-made calendar to ensure that you improve all aspects of your athleticism.
HOW DO I READ THE CALENDAR?
The first calendar is your normal level athlete and is described as NORMAL
. This is what you should follow under normal circumstances.
The second calendar is the plus version and is described as ADVANCED
. This is what you should follow should you choose to increase the intensity. For this version, double the sets that are assigned but not the rep range.
WHAT WILL I BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH AFTER THIS PROGRAM?
The purpose of the workout is to improve all aspects of physical performance: strength, agility, power and endurance. As such, it is the perfect complement to a healthy diet for any athlete.
DYNAMIC WARM-UP EXERCISES
These are a set of 4 exercises (outside of the 40 main exercises) that the athlete will have to complete before each workout (referred to as split in this book). On active recovery days, the athlete will be expected to complete these exercises in combination with a 30 minute session of moderate cardio instead of 15.
Roll-over’s into V-sits: Start by sitting down on the floor. Next propel yourself backwards by rolling your knees inward so that they touch your chest (your weight should be on the back now) with your arms extended on the ground. Finally, roll back to forward position and spread your legs so that they form a V shape. Perform 15 times.
Fire Hydrants: Start by getting down on your knees, palms flat on the ground (shoulder width). Ensure that your back is straight. Without moving your back, draw a circle with your knee so that it moves outward, forward and back. Repeat for each leg 15 times.
Squat and hold: Perform a squat and hold when at the bottom position for 30 seconds.
Forward lunges: Perform lunges by moving forward each time. 12 reps each leg (24 reps total).
