Get Your Athlete’s Plan

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.

Our process

The 4-Stage
Model

Stage 01

Define Your Destination

PLAN

We begin by clearly defining your desired outcomes and creating a detailed action plan. This foundational piece acts as the guide for everything that follows.

“A bad plan is better than no plan.”

Stage 02

Do The Work

PREPARE

This is where the magic happens. Our goal is to create the necessary physiological adaptations and build a mindset that will allow you to attack your performance goals.

“Sharpen the axe before felling the tree.”

Stage 03

Showcase Your Evolution

PERFORM

Put your hard-earned efforts on display. This is where months of dedicated training become moments of excellence that define your career.

“Chase perfection, catch excellence.”

Stage 04

Evolve Relentlessly

PROGRESS

Reflect, recalibrate, reprioritize and re-engage. We evaluate your performance, identify margins for improvement, and push the envelope further.

“Greatness is a process, not a destination.”
