** This program is individualized to each athlete. You will receive an email to finalize the training program once purchased.

The Elite Training System is designed for the ultimate athlete. It begins with the Energy System Development Block to increase an athlete’s ability to produce high-intensity efforts continuously. The High-Quality Strength Training Block is then utilized to increase foundational levels of strength. Finally, the Triphasic Peaking Training Program is implemented to train every athlete to transfer their foundational strength into the most usable form on the competition field, SPEED. This program can be individualized based on every athlete’s needs and requirements. Every program is hyperlinked and includes instructions to guarantee simple and efficient completion. This long-term developmental program is based on the same principles implemented with elite professional and collegiate level athletes and leads to optimal performance on the field.

"With the goal of preparing my teenage son for Texas High School football I was lucky to discover Matt and Van Dyke Strength. I was blown away with the results. Under Matt's guidance and the customized plan he created,  my son Jax gained 16 pounds of muscle, increased his bench and squat by nearly 25% while increasing his speed, flexibility and explosiveness in 3 1/2 months. I highly  recommend Matt to any athlete or parent of an athlete searching for a safe and innovative performance training  program."

"Jax has now completed his second year of the "Elite Training System" and has continued to develop at an astonishing manner. This is due in large part to the training he is completing through Matt's guidance and planning. He is entering this upcoming season prepared at a high level due to these training programs and will continue to utilize these methods throughout the upcoming season."

All performance coaches have one ultimate desire, to create the ultimate athlete. One that is powerful, yet resilient according to the physical demands of lacrosse. The Triphasic Lacrosse Training Manual was created to allow optimal performance to be achieved in the sport of lacrosse from a physical preparation standpoint. Lacrosse, due to its fast-paced and physical gameplay, requires all competitors to achieve a high-level of proficiency in many skills. The authors have taken the physical requirements of lacrosse and broken them into six “physical performance qualities”. These six qualities cover each of the energy systems within every person, and also three qualities aimed at improving force levels. In order to display the physical proficiency required by a lacrosse athlete, each of these six physical qualities must be appropriately trained. The Triphasic Lacrosse Training Manual not only incorporates these six qualities in training, but also includes many other training principles. These other principles, which must all be considered in a successful lacrosse training program, include quality versus capacity training, injury prevention, specifically glute functioning through the introduction of the newly developed “glute layering system”, multi-dimensional training, and specific energy system and biomechanical training required in lacrosse. The Block Training, Modified Undulated Training, High-Quality, and Triphasic Muscle Action Training Models are all described fully and are demonstrated in the importance of an athlete to maximize their rate of force development (RFD), which is one of the most important skills a lacrosse player can demonstrate. RFD is critical in lacrosse as it is not necessarily the strongest athlete that comes out on top, but the one who is capable of applying the greatest amount of force in the short amount of time available.
