Athletic Training Adult Curriculum

Adult athletic training (18+) progresses to loaded strength and performance-focused conditioning for longevity, using the same phase structure and recovery protocols.

Ages 18+PerformanceConditioningRecovery
8-Week Program Structure

Training Phases

The full program runs in four two-week phases. Youth use body weight only; teens and adults add light resistance and timed performance tracking as they progress.

Weeks 1 to 2

Phase 1, Movement Foundation

Proper movement mechanics, body awareness, and injury-prevention habits, athletic stance, deceleration, single-leg stability, and core activation.

Weeks 3 to 4

Phase 2, Speed & Agility Development

First-step quickness, acceleration, and change-of-direction speed, 10-yard acceleration mechanics, lateral quickness, and reactive agility.

Weeks 5 to 6

Phase 3, Strength & Power

Functional strength and explosive power. Youth: bodyweight squats, push-ups, broad jumps, med-ball chest pass. Teen/Adult: split squats, RDLs, hang cleans, rotational throws.

Weeks 7 to 8

Phase 4, Sport Conditioning

Sport-specific endurance and mental toughness, 6-second burst conditioning and position-specific patterns, plus active recovery and sleep/nutrition basics.

Standalone Session

Performance Training

Available as 30-minute add-ons to any sport clinic or as a dedicated half-day performance session. Below is the standalone block-by-block plan.

Safety

Injury Prevention & Recovery Protocols

Every Go Core session follows the same prevention and recovery standards, overseen by Ashlee Austin-Bean.

Before

Pre-Activity

Dynamic warm-up, 10-minute minimum: leg swings, arm circles, hip rotations, high knees, and butt kicks before every session.

After

Post-Activity

Static stretch protocol, 10 minutes: quad, hamstring, hip flexor, calf, and shoulder stretches held 30 seconds each.

Recovery

Foam Rolling

Key areas, IT band, thoracic spine, calves, and quads, built into every camp cool-down.

Fuel

Hydration

16 to 20 oz of water two hours before activity, 8 oz every 20 minutes during, and 16 oz post-activity.

Protocol

Incident Response

Any athlete reporting pain is assessed by Ashlee Austin-Bean before returning, and parents are notified the same day.

Scaling

Age Scaling

Youth focus on mechanics and body weight; teens and adults progress to loaded strength and timed performance.
