HOW TO BUILD YOUR WEEK

Start with a core plan, then add skill work.

Protect high-quality sprint/strength sessions, then layer skill sessions around practices and games.

01 · Core Plan Athletic development comes first

Build around mobility, sprinting, and jump/strength. Do these sessions when you’re well-rested (often mornings).

SPRINT2× / week
JUMP + STRENGTH2× / week
SESSION LENGTH~30-45 min
  • In-season light: keep intensity high, volume modest.
  • Schedule at least 1 rest day per week.
02 · Skill Add-On Choose skills using the modules

Skill training is separate from team practice/games. Minimum 3 days/week. Pick one focus, then layer in complements.

FREQUENCY3+ days / week
TIME RANGE30–120 min
CAP~2 hours
  • Examples: shot mix, ball handling, triple threat, 1v1/3v3/5v5 reads.
  • Keep reps game-like: pace, decisions, and fatigue awareness.
03 · Film + Recovery Growth = sleep, fuel, and deloads

Recovery drives improvement. Prioritize nutrition, hydration, and 8+ hours sleep so hard days stay high quality.

SLEEP8+ hours
BLOCK LENGTH10–16 weeks
DELOAD3–7 days
  • After 5–10 weeks: take a longer break to fully reset.
  • Out-of-season: add up to +1 sprint day and split skill focuses across the week.
