The Story

Built by an athlete.
For athletes.

GPS exists for one reason: every athlete — regardless of level, sport, or background — deserves programming engineered for elite performance. This is the story of why, and the system behind it.

“I've sat in the athlete's chair. I know what it means to want more — more speed, more power, more of an edge. My mission is to give athletes the resources, experience, and knowledge to realize their full potential.” — Garrett, Founder

After years developing athletes who went on to the NHL and 30-plus NCAA programs, one pattern became impossible to ignore: the athletes who transcend their ceiling aren't just physically gifted — they're systematically developed. They have a plan, a process, and a coach who sees what they can become before they do.

That is what GPS does. No cookie-cutter sessions. No generic workouts. We engineer an athlete — from the ground up, one tested decision at a time.

The work — one athlete, one plan, re-measured biweekly.

What I believe

Three non-negotiables.

01

Every athlete is unique

There is no one-size-fits-all program. We start by understanding who you are — your sport, your history, your ceiling — then we test it. Opinions aren’t a training plan.

02

Science drives every decision

Our methods are rooted in sports science, biomechanics, and neurology. Training isn’t guesswork — it’s a precisely engineered roadmap, re-measured biweekly.

03

Longevity is non-negotiable

The best athletes stay healthy. We build durability alongside performance — because a sidelined athlete is no athlete at all.

The foundation

How we build
an athlete.

The meat and potatoes is simple and hard: get strong, coordinate force, and own your range. Master those, and speed and power follow. Everything else is there to support them.
