Veteran Athletes

You’ve already been through the program

A veteran KPM athlete in a max-velocity session

For athletes already through a cycle with us. You don't start over — you start from your last set of numbers. We re-measure, find what moved and what didn't, and build the next block around the gap.

Second and third cycles look nothing like a first one. The easy wins are already banked, so we go after whichever pillar the re-test says has become the limiter — and it is usually not the one you'd guess. An athlete whose vertical jumped but whose 10-yard stalled has a completely different problem from one where both crept up a little, and they get completely different blocks.

What’s included

  • Re-tested against your own previous numbers, not a chart
  • The next 12-week block built on what the re-test shows
  • Same room, same four pillars, heavier demands
  • A running record of every cycle, cycle over cycle
How Your Next Cycle Works

Re-measure. Train. Test out.

You don’t start over. You start from your last set of numbers: re-measured on day one, twelve weeks built around the gap, a taper week, then the test-out.

Step 01 · Day one

Effective Range.

We re-measure and set every new number beside the one from your last cycle. The easy wins are already banked, so what we’re looking for is whichever pillar has become the limiter since.

Step 02 · Twelve weeks · Three days a week

Train the gap.

The same two tracks as your first cycle, with the block built around the pillar the re-test flagged. Week 13 is a taper: as little as possible, so the test-out measures what you built rather than what you’re carrying.

01
Acceleration

First three steps.

The most-used quality in every sport. Almost every play starts from a standstill or a jog, so we shorten the time it takes to reach top speed.

You’ll see it when they…
  • Beat an opponent off the line
  • Get to the ball or the spot first
  • Close space on defense
02
Initial Force Generation

The explosive first move.

More force, in less time, in the direction the athlete means to go. It powers the jump, the drive out of a cut, the first step.

You’ll see it when they…
  • Jump higher
  • Explode out of a cut
  • Win the first step
03
Center of Mass Management

Cut, stop and turn, under control.

Getting the body into the right position to change direction or stop without losing speed or balance.

You’ll see it when they…
  • Change direction without slowing
  • Stop on balance
  • Stay on their feet through contact
04
Max Velocity

Raises the ceiling.

The last pillar. Top-speed work raises the ceiling on the other three, so every shorter sprint gets easier too.

You’ll see it when they…
  • Pull away on a breakaway
  • Hold speed over distance
  • Run down a play from behind
Step 03 · Week 13

Test out. Against yourself.

Same tests after the taper week, measured against your own last cycle, not a chart. We don’t print a projected number for a second cycle: too few athletes have repeated one for us to stand behind a target. Your own history is the honest reference.

The Week

Track 1 or Track 2.

The same two tracks as the first cycle, three days a week for twelve weeks. Plenty of athletes switch tracks between blocks when a season moves — just not during one.

  • Track 2 Tuesday · Thursday · Saturday

  6. Sat
    Max Velocity 8:30 AM · 90 min Atlantic Christian Track 2

Weekday slots are 3:30 PM, 4:45 PM and 6:00 PM. Pick the one that works around your week and keep it for the whole twelve-week cycle — the track and the slot both stay put, so the week stops being a negotiation. Track 2’s Saturday is the max-velocity session: 90 minutes on the track at Atlantic Christian School, 391 Zion Road, Egg Harbor Township (directions) rather than at 514 New Road.

The Number We Move

Athletic Currency

The space an athlete can cover or create — forward and sideways added together, multiplied by how high they get. The bigger it is, the more they make on offense and take away on defense.

You already have a number. A second cycle is built against it rather than against a table — we go after whichever of the three is holding the other two back, which is usually not the one you would guess.

The gains below are first-cycle medians; a second cycle moves differently. Typical first-cycle figures for healthy high-school athletes training the full twelve weeks, measured on our own gates and mats — the range we see, not a guarantee.

Pick the one that fits.

Every athlete tests in before they train. Which test depends only on whether they have been through a block with us before.
