    This isn’t workouts. It’s performance infrastructure.

    1. Return-to-Play Systems
      Structured progressions that respect healing timelines, tissue tolerance, and basketball-specific demands — not arbitrary clearance dates.
    2. Durability Before Intensity
      Isometrics, positional strength, and controlled exposure to build bodies that tolerate long seasons.
    3. Game Speed Translation
      Speed is earned through progression. Chaos is introduced only when the body can tolerate it repeatedly.

    “I’m not here to make athletes impressive in July.
    I’m here to keep them available in March and May.”

    This is for:

    Professional & elite basketball athletes

    • Players returning from injury
    • Coaches and organizations seeking long-term solutions

    This is not for:

    • Mass-market programs
    • Trend-driven training
    • Social-media workouts

  • Serious athletes and organizations only

    I work with a limited number of athletes and institutions each year.

    All training and consulting begins with an application.
