Measured, not assumed.
Professional contracts, a move abroad, an end-of-season awards clean sweep and three-division jumps. Every number below comes from the player's own testing and retesting.
First professional contract
A number nine stepping up from academy to first-team football. He struggled with his back to goal and threatening in behind in a men's environment.
- 01Performance testing. Assessed his numbers against age-group data from professional clubs.
- 02Built around his schedule. Two to three focused sessions a week, fitted around his life and training.
- 03Made his schedule work. Microdosing around three games a week, so he got the stimulus without the fatigue.
- 04Increased his calories. Realigned his macros to support lean muscle growth.
He went from struggling with his back to goal to being able to cope physically, become a threat in behind and hold his own in first-team training.
- ✓First professional contract
- ✓Academy Player of the Year
- ✓Promotion to the National League
"I've been able to train with high level pros in training day to day and earn my place in the squad due to the way I'm training, because I'm faster, stronger and fitter through being on the MTE programme."Bruce Minaker
Two divisions up, and a contract
He'd tried everything on his own, with no clear plan and no way of knowing what was actually holding his athleticism back.
- 01Performance testing. Found whether his limitations came from raw strength or producing force quickly, so we knew the exact bottleneck.
- 02Biomechanical analysis. Video feedback and coaching cues picked up a force leak through his big toe at push-off, so every ounce of effort turned into speed and power.
- 03Built around his schedule. A routine that handled double game weeks, keeping the stimulus without piling up fatigue.
- 04Elite habits and routines. Built the daily habits and standards of elite performers into his life, for every session, recovery day and match day.
He went from trying everything on his own to being fresher for training and matches, and the strongest and fastest he's ever been.
- ✓Earned a contract two divisions up
- ✓Trained with Championship pros
- ✓Fitter, stronger and faster than before his MCL injury
"Investing in the programme was 100% the best thing I've ever done to improve myself."Ryan Riddles
A pro contract in New Zealand
A centre-back training without a plan, carrying lower back and groin injuries, with a big strength gap compared to other centre-backs.
- 01Injury rehabilitation. A structured rehab programme for his lower back and groin, restoring full function and building resilience so they don't come back.
- 02Closed his strength gap. Measured his strength against centre-back benchmarks, found a big deficit and built a programme to close it.
- 03Maintained explosiveness. Plyometric work all the way through, so his power stayed and developed alongside his strength.
- 04Nutritional support. More calories and realigned macros, to support lean muscle and the demands of training and match days.
He went from training with no real direction to being quicker, more agile and more athletic, so he can compete with attackers.
- ✓Pro contract in New Zealand
- ✓Back and groin injuries rehabbed
- ✓Strength gap closed
"The results have shown to improve so much quicker than ever before, which has been very satisfying."Louis Sengelow
Up three divisions after a long-term injury
A long-term adductor injury left a clear difference between his injured and non-injured leg, with pre-season around the corner.
- 01Performance testing. Objective data on the difference between his injured and non-injured leg.
- 02Used the off-season. Set the foundations ready for pre-season to start.
- 03Single leg work. Single leg exercises through isometric, concentric and eccentric contractions.
- 04Pitch sessions. Brought back running, change of direction, accelerations and plyometrics.
He went from being out with an adductor injury to starting pre-season three divisions higher, faster, stronger and more explosive.
- ✓Jumped three divisions, step 6 to step 3
- ✓Reduced asymmetry and muscle loss
- ✓Trap bar PB of 2.55 × body weight
"The programme provided me with the platform and structure to hit new levels I wouldn't reach if I was doing it by myself, giving me the accountability which is what I needed."Lucas Coveney
A clean sweep of the end-of-season awards
He had the strength but couldn't produce that force quickly, and nerves were holding him back on match days.
- 01Performance testing. Showed his strength qualities, and that he couldn't produce that force quickly.
- 02Built around his schedule. Two to three focused sessions a week, fitted around his life, commitments and training.
- 03Gave him what he needed. Isometrics and plyometrics to improve his rate of force development.
- 04Adapted his nutrition. Matched to his training demands, with a match-day nutrition schedule.
He went from match-day nerves to being confident in 1v1s and fitter late on in games.
- ✓Manager's Player of the Year
- ✓Supporters' Player of the Year
- ✓Players' Player of the Year
"The programme is the best thing I've ever done to level up my game playing football."Luke Woodward
Ready for National League North
He was trying to do things at a high level, but nothing was built around him, and physically he knew he wasn't ready for step 2 football.
- 01Built from his testing. Tested him, found where he was lacking and built his programme around it.
- 02Adapted his nutrition. Made his nutrition relevant to him and what he actually needed.
- 03Added strength work. Targeted the areas where he was lacking.

"I'm already feeling a lot stronger and can't wait to keep on improving every day."Leon Gibson-Booth
A football scholarship in America

- 01Performance testing. Found exactly where he was lacking strength.
- 02Position-specific strength. Built strength where it was actually needed, at the joint angles specific to his position.
- 03Built around his life. Structured around his everyday life, football training and matches.

Holding a higher line
He was worried about his pace in behind and his physical capabilities.

- 03Nutrition built around him. A plan he'd actually stick to.
- 04Planned around fixtures. Used the time around his fixtures to get the most progress.
He's now quick enough to recover if he's beaten, and stronger in the air.

- ✓Quick enough to recover in behind
