Mash Elite Athletic Performance Max Power & Speed Program Coach Guided

This program is designed to maximize power production and a high velocity. The athlete can expect to improve his or her vertical leap, change of direction, and sprint performance. This program is designed to maximize all of the physical fitness markers that are important to athletic performance. In this program, there will be aspects of speed, strength, power, hypertrophy, skill acquisition, anaerobic conditioning, mobility, strength endurance, and work capacity.

It has been over two years since we’ve had a true online team. Since then, I have finished my Master’s in Exercise Science, was named the Head of Sport Science at Rise Indoor Sports and become the Head of Education for GymAware Velocity Based Training.

Why did it take by so long to launch the team rebirth? That’s because I didn’t want to launch just another online coaching team with some general program for everyone to follow. I wanted something different. I also wanted the best coaches possible to help me with this endeavor.

I'm starting off with the two coaches that work with me daily at Rise Indoor Sports:

•      First, Coach Matt Wininger, B.S. a graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne University where he was the Team Captain for my LRU Weightlifting Team that earned two National Championships. He earned All-American honors all four years, and is a two-time Team USA Weightlifting Athlete. He was also a sprinter on the Varsity Track and Field Team. Matt was the original Team Mash Elite Athlete having been my athlete since he was 10-yrs-old making it 14-years he's been my athlete. He's also the coach of my own children, which is the biggest honor I can bestow on a fellow coach.

•.    Coach John Lucchesi, B.S. is a graduate of East Tennessee State University's prestigious Exercise Science Department. He was a starter all four years on the Varsity Soccer Team and went on to play pro for a few years after college. John is the Head Strength Coach at Rise Sports Performance. He's also the one that keeps all of us organized and the one that creates our systems at Rise. Coach Lucchesi has worked hard to understand all the tech that I brought to Rise Indoor Sports. He's also one of the most humble coaches in America making a real effort to learn under my guidance. He's the glue to this team, and the real reason that the new online team will be better than ever.

Here is the list of what to expect:
•       Coaches will answer questions within a 24-hr period
•.      Coaches can individualize programming in the following ways:
      o  Can easily minimize volume if the program is simply too much
      o  Can eliminate exercises or suggest alternate exercises 
• There's an assessment to monitor improvements
• Team Camps to be held at Rise Indoor Sports and/or the Mash Farm bi-yearly, which will be great times to get assessed by me using the latest in technology to measure speed, agility, jumping, power, and movement.

This is going to be a team with the aim to bridge the edgy hardcore culture Mash Elite is famous for together with the latest in science and research. 

Team Mash Elite is back! I plan on taking over the world of athletic performance!

You can quit at anytime, or you can simply keep going. Once you get to the end of your program, your coach will plug in the new program based on the season you are in (in-season, preseason, etc). 

If you are trying to get stronger and more powerful in a way that will help you dominate your sport, this is the program.

Coach expectations:

• Answer questions about exercises
• Can make simple adjustments like less total volume
• Can subtract unnecessary exercises like anaerobic rowing for baseball players
• However if you need technique feedback, video assessments, and/or individualized programming, I recommend switching to our Individualized Coaching Option that also includes velocity based training with the program.
