Explore how muscles work, produce force, and the core strength qualities that define athleticism, then learn how to train and recover to become more athletic.
Set specific, realistic training goals and plan workouts to match them, prioritizing quality over quantity, consistency, and patience as you progress along the strength to endurance spectrum for your sport.
Explore the three muscle contraction forms—isometric, concentric, and eccentric—and see how they govern muscle length, force, and performance in actions like planks and countermovement jumps.
Ask questions anytime by sending a personal Udemy message, and leave a five-star review to boost credibility and help the instructor continue creating content.
Maximize strength by testing your one-rep max or isometric mid-thigh pull, then train heavy at 85–90% with low volume, while integrating speed work for greater force and tendon stiffness.
Explore maximal velocity, training fast explosive movements with minimal resistance to boost neural activation, reduce co-contraction, and improve speed and force at lighter loads.
Assess which athletic components your sport requires, and follow the athleticism pyramid—mobility, stability, balance, coordination; then strength, aerobic capacity, power, speed, and agility, with mental resilience and motor learning.
BECOME STRONGER AND MORE ATHLETIC FOR YOUR SPORT!
Whether you are an athlete, trainer, or coach, this course will teach you the key principles behind building true athleticism. Since these concepts apply to all sports, the course is ideal if you want to improve your performance specifically for your chosen sport—not just get stronger in the gym.
As a trained biomechanist, basketball coach, and athlete, I study the science of human movement and apply it to real training scenarios. This course combines scientifically proven knowledge with practical experience I’ve gained over the years working with athletes.
Let me show you how to build athleticism the right way.
I will guide you through all the essential components of athleticism—from the properties of muscle and strength qualities to practical training strategies you can apply immediately.
The focus is on understanding why training works, so you can adapt it to your sport, your body, and your individual needs.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Understand what truly makes up athleticism
Improve strength, speed, and power in a structured way
Build training programs based on your specific goals and needs
Take your own training—or your athletes’ training—to the next level
