The program is delivered as a 1:1 virtual mentorship.

You’ll have:

• Weekly 1:1 video sessions

• Customized performance plans and progress tracking in our strength & conditioning app

• Ongoing support and feedback between sessions

• Access to exclusive resources for technical, physical, mental, and social development

This approach ensures hands-on coaching and consistent accountability, wherever you play or train.

The Core 4 Method runs for 4 months, giving players the structure and time to develop across all four pillars—Technical & Tactical, Physical, Mental, and Social (including college guidance). After the initial 4 months, players have the option to extend their mentorship for continued growth and accountability.

We have multiple program options:

• The Core 4 Method (1:1 Mentorship): Fully personalized, addressing all four pillars.

• The Athlete’s Workshop (Virtual Group Program): A group-based program covering the same four pillars. Enrollment only opens periodically to ensure proper instruction.

• Strictly Stickhandling (Online Training): A self-guided, stickhandling-focused program players can follow at home.

Players often start with group or online programs and progress to 1:1 mentorship as they grow.

Whether you’re just starting to focus on high-level performance or preparing for recruitment, the program provides the guidance, structure, and mentorship needed to reach your next level.
