What exactly is the ATP program?
ATP stands for Activate Your Prime. It's an individual conditioning program for footballers, delivered online. It isn't a routine you download: it starts with a conversation and a physical assessment, continues with a plan built around your fixture calendar, your position and your injury history, and we adjust it together week by week.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your starting point and how much support you need, so I don't publish a fixed price. Write to me with your situation: I'll tell you whether the program fits you and, if it does, the exact price. If it doesn't fit, I'll tell you that too rather than waste your time.
Can I follow it if I train with my team almost every day?
That's exactly what it's designed for. The program is built on your microcycle, meaning around matchday: the heavy load sits far from the match and tapers as it approaches. It isn't added on top of what you already do with your team, it fits inside it.
Does it work if I'm not a professional?
Yes. What changes from one player to another isn't so much the level as the context: how many days you train, what facilities you have and how much recovery time you get between matches. We go through all that before anything is programmed.
Do I need a gym to follow the program?
For the strength work, usually yes. That said, the plan is built around the facilities you actually have, not ideal ones. If your gym access is limited, tell me in your first email and I'll factor it in before programming anything.
What happens if I get injured during the program?
We replan. Return-to-play work is part of my daily job at a club: we go back to the pitch in phases, with clear criteria for moving from one to the next, without rushing the return to make a particular match.
Why are there so few places?
Because I review every player's videos, adjust their load every week and answer their messages the same day. That only works with very few people at a time. The day I take on one too many, it's the player who loses out.
How long do you take to reply?
Between 24 and 48 hours. If you write using the button on this site, the email arrives with the questions I need already laid out in the body. The more specific you are, the more useful my reply will be.
I'm from a club. Can you join our coaching staff?
No. I work full time as a strength and conditioning coach at a professional top-flight club. What I do take on is a maximum of two outside collaborations a year, always as advisory work: I don't run your conditioning, I help whoever runs it.
What exactly does the club advisory involve?
An audit of your microcycle and how load is distributed by position, ongoing mentoring for the club's conditioning coach, load monitoring criteria and return-to-play protocols. All adapted to the resources you actually have, not those of an ideal club.
