Gray Wolf Summer Athletic Performance Program

Every summer, a lot of athletes train.

They lift, they run, they sweat—and most of it looks the same.

What we’re building at Gray Wolf is different.

This isn’t random workouts or conditioning sessions. It’s a structured performance system designed to develop athletes over time—physically, mentally, and mechanically.

What We’re Actually Training

At the core of our program are five key elements:

• Speed & Acceleration – how fast an athlete can move and react

• Strength – the foundation for power and durability

• Power & Elasticity – jumping, explosiveness, and force production

• Movement Quality – how efficiently and safely an athlete moves

• Resilience – reducing injury risk and building long-term durability

Every session is built around these. Nothing is random.

Why We Program the Way We Do

Most programs separate everything:

• lift one day

• run another

• condition another

That’s not how athletes develop.

We structure our week so athletes are consistently training speed, strength, and movement together, with each day having a clear emphasis.

Here’s how that looks:

• Day 1: Acceleration + Lower Body Strength

• Day 2: Upper Body Strength + Power

• Day 3: Jumping + Elastic Development

• Day 4: Change of Direction + Deceleration

• Day 5: Total Body Strength + Mobility

Each day builds on the next.

We place speed work when the nervous system is fresh.

We layer strength in a way that supports performance, not just fatigue.

We manage intensity so athletes can train consistently and actually improve.

This isn’t about crushing athletes for a day.

It’s about progressing them over 12 weeks.

Built for Every Level

We run four levels within the same system:

Foundations

For younger or newer athletes.

Focus: coordination, confidence, and learning how to move.

Development

For middle school athletes ready for structure.

Focus: technique, consistency, and building a base of strength.

Performance

For high school athletes.

Focus: intensity, output, and translating training to sport.

Elite (Invite Only)

For athletes serious about playing at the next level.

This group is held to a higher standard—on the floor and off it.

Training is more intentional, more demanding, and more individualized.

It’s not just about working hard.

It’s about preparing for college-level expectations.

Our Daily Schedule

We’ve structured our days to give athletes flexibility while keeping the environment focused and intentional:

• 11:00 AM – Performance (High School) (M-F)

• 12:00 PM – Performance Mobility (M-F)

• 1:00 PM – Development (Middle School) (M-F)

• 4:00 PM – Performance / Development Flex (Mon–Th)

• 5:00 PM – Foundations (Tu & Th)

The midday blocks create a true performance environment.

The 4:00 PM session gives flexibility for athletes who can’t make earlier times.

The 5:00 PM Foundations class serves as the entry point for younger athletes.

Mobility & Recovery (Built In)

One of the biggest things athletes miss is recovery.

That’s why we built it directly into the schedule.

Our Performance Mobility class at 12:00 PM is included and strongly encouraged.

Athletes can:

• Stay after their 11:00 session

• Come early before their 1:00 session

This gives them dedicated time to:

• improve mobility

• recover properly

• and stay healthy throughout the summer

This isn’t extra—it’s part of the system.

Why This Matters

Most programs either:

• push intensity too early

• or stay too general for too long

We bridge that gap.

Athletes don’t just show up and work hard—they develop.

They learn how to:

• generate force

• absorb force

• move efficiently

• and perform under control

That’s what actually translates to sport.

Final Thought

We’re not trying to do more.

We’re trying to do it better.

If you’re looking for a place where your athlete just shows up and sweats, there are plenty of options.

If you’re looking for a structured system that actually develops athletes over time, that’s what we’re building at Gray Wolf.
