Start Where You Actually Are.
Coach, parent or hooper: the principles don’t change. What changes is what you do Monday morning. Pick your path and I’ll show you exactly where to start and what to skip.
Which One Are You?
Three paths, each written for a different job. Pick yours and go straight to what matters for you.
I’m a Coach
I’m responsible for other people’s athletes, and most days I’m the entire staff.
See Your Path
I’m a Parent
I want to help my kid get better without guessing, and without getting sold.
See Your Path
I’m an Athlete
I want to be a problem on the floor, in November and in February.
See Your PathNot sure which fits?
A parent who also coaches, or a player now running the weight room? Take the 60-second quiz and it points you to the right start.
Different Paths. Same Standard.
It doesn’t matter which door you came in. Four things are true of everything on this site.
You can check the work
Everything here traces back to research or two and a half decades of coaching reps. When something is my opinion, I say so.
No degree required
If you need a physiology background to use it, it failed. The point is that you can read it once and run it Monday.
Built in a real weight room
IFAST is a working gym in Indianapolis. Everything here got run by real athletes before it got written down.
Everything in one library
Articles, breakdowns, podcast episodes and programs, tagged by who you are and what you’re trying to fix.
Let’s Make Sure This Is Worth Your Time.
I’m not for everybody, and I’d rather you find that out on this page than three weeks from now.
This Is For You If
- You’d rather understand why something works than be handed a workout and told to trust it.
- You’ll run a program for eight weeks before deciding it doesn’t work.
- You need training that fits a real schedule, a real budget and a real facility.
- You coach, parent or play basketball specifically, not “athletes” in general.
- You’re fine being told that the boring answer is usually the right one.
This Isn’t For You If
- You want someone to promise you inches on your vertical in fourteen days.
- You’d rather argue about studies than actually train.
- You’re looking for a program you can start over every three weeks.
- You want the work done for you.
- You need a new gadget more than you need consistency.
Still here? Good. That’s the whole filter, and it’s the only one that matters.
Sixty Seconds. One Answer.
Between two paths? The quiz asks where you are right now and points you at the right starting line, not the most popular one.
