Weeks 1–2 weren’t about jumping higher… they were about landing better.
Before we chase height, speed, or power, our athletes learn how to absorb force.
Coaches and athletes let us know how we can help you and sign up link in bio along with website.
✔️ Proper landing mechanics
✔️ Unilateral control
✔️ Balance, posture, and joint alignment
Why?
Most youth sport injuries happen on the landing, not the jump.
Strong landings = safer athletes + better long-term performance.
Build the foundation. Then we build the athlete.

Athlete research shows the best way to develop faster, stronger, and more powerful middle school and high school athletes isn’t maxing out or chasing fatigue it’s learning how to move well, apply force, and stay healthy long-term.

At Stoic Athletics, we train the athlete first not just the sport. We prepare them for life with the skills needed to progressively get better day by day.

That means:
• Sprint mechanics before speed
• Single-leg strength before heavy load
• Deceleration before change of direction
• Technique before intensity

Strength training done correctly:
✔ Improves speed & power
✔ Reduces injury risk
✔ Builds confidence and resilience
✔ Transfers to every sport

Middle school athletes focus on movement, coordination, and control.
High school athletes progress into force production, power, and performance.

We don’t train for one season.
We train for the next 5–10 years.

Discipline over intensity.
Process over hype.
Long-term development wins.

Structured training, teamwork, and athletes enjoying the process. You see athletes working together, encouraging each other, performing challenging movements, and bringing positive energy into the weight room.
AVHS SPORTS PERFORMANCE | D.R.E.

DISCIPLINE. RESPECT. EFFORT.

Three principles. One standard.

D — DISCIPLINE
Show up. Be consistent. Do the work, even when it’s challenging. Build habits that carry beyond the weight room.

R — RESPECT
Respect the weight, your body, your teammates, and your coaches. Train safely, support one another, and take pride in how you represent your team.

E — EFFORT
Bring intent to every rep, every set, and every practice. Give your best effort in everything you do.
And don’t forget to enjoy the process.
The smiles, laughter, competition, and energy are just as much a part of our culture as the work itself.
We want athletes who train hard, encourage one another, embrace challenges, and genuinely enjoy showing up.
Because developing athletes isn’t just about building strength, speed, and power. It’s about building confidence, relationships, character, and a lifelong appreciation for training.
Work hard. Have fun. Build each other up.

D.R.E. — The standard at AVHS Sports Performance.

One interview at a time! Sharing my first interview on here because sports and hearing people’s stories and experiences are something I’m truly passionate about. My goal is to become a sports field reporter, and I’m excited to start putting myself out there and gaining experience along the way. One day, I’ll create a separate account just for my interviews and sports journalism. For now, this is just the beginning of something great‼️

A big thank you to Coach Morales for taking the time to let me interview you and share your experience! taken in Apple Valley High School by @lanthonymorales

AVHS PERFORMANCE | SUMMER 2026 ☀️🏈🏐🏀

What a summer! Our student-athletes put in the work—football COD & power training, volleyball jump development, and basketball contact preparation.

More than preparing for a sport or the college level, we’re building young men and women who care enough to get better and make their teams better.

Huge thank you to our parents, coaches, and athletes who made these opportunities possible. 🫡

And thank you to the coaches, clinics, and conferences from across the country that continue to challenge and inspire us to improve year after year.

2026–27 is coming. The future is bright at AVHS. 🔥#nsca #nhssca #strengthandconditioning #sportsperformance #athlete taken in Apple Valley High School by @lanthonymorales

Summer Development Block | Final Week

What an incredible summer! Over the past eight weeks, our athletes have built strength, speed, confidence, and better movement patterns through purposeful training.

This week, we’ll celebrate their hard work by re-testing:
⚡ 40-Yard Sprint
🔄 5-10-5 Pro Agility
📐 T-Test
🏋️ Front Squat & Bench Press
📊 Additional performance measures

Testing isn’t about comparing athletes—it’s about measuring growth and celebrating progress.

As school begins, remember that athletic development is built year-round. Strength, speed, and power are qualities that must be consistently trained to maintain and improve.

🍂 Our August–December Development Block is now open!

This next phase focuses on General Physical Preparation (GPP)—developing stronger, faster, more resilient athletes through evidence-informed training designed for long-term success.

A huge thank you to CrossFit One Society and their owners and staff for supporting our athletes and providing an outstanding training environment.

Thank you to every athlete and parent for trusting Stoic Athletics.

The foundation has been built. Now it’s time to keep growing.

💪 Stronger. ⚡ Faster. 🧠 More Confident.

More Than Speed. More Than Strength.

At Stoic Athletics, we’re not simply coaching athletes, we’re helping young people build habits that will benefit them for years to come.

Every sprint, lift, jump, game, and challenge is an opportunity to learn.

To learn how to move well.
To learn how to work hard.
To learn how to be coachable.
To learn how to overcome challenges.
To learn how to support teammates.
To learn that progress comes through consistency, not perfection.
To learn on to problem solve

Our athletes are still learning. Their movements won’t always be perfect, and that’s exactly how growth happens. Offering them strategies, based on principles and letting them pick the most appropriate tool for them.

Through structured coaching and age-appropriate progressions, they develop strength, speed,coordination, confidence, and an appreciation for an active lifestyle that extends beyond sports.

Our mission isn’t just to prepare athletes for next season.

It’s to help prepare them for a lifetime of movement, health, and physical confidence.

Every session is designed using evidence-informed principles of long-term athletic development, giving young athletes the opportunity to grow physically, mentally, and socially in a positive environment.

📍 August–December Development Block
🏃 Speed • Strength • Power • Athleticism
📅 2 days/week (Optional 3rd day available)
⏱️ 90-minute sessions

Helping young athletes become stronger, faster, more confident—and develop a lifelong love of movement.

Bounce Back.

March 17th changed everything.

Biceps torn.
Shoulder surgery.
Strength gone.
Training paused.

For a while, progress looked like small victories:
• Regaining motion.
• Sleeping without pain.
• Picking up light weight again.
• Trusting the shoulder.

Now the mission changes.

The comeback isn’t about proving I’m the strongest person in the room. It’s about becoming a stronger, smarter, and more resilient athlete than I was before surgery.

The next year is about:
Being lean at 245lb and getting best individual score for myself @apexathlete.official would be ideal.

No shortcuts.
No ego.
Just disciplined work, patient progress, and relentless consistency.

Every rep is earned.
Every setback is a lesson.
Every day is another opportunity to rebuild.
And Here We Go

The Work You Don’t See on Game Day.

Championships aren’t built during competition, they’re built through consistent training, purposeful coaching, and hundreds of quality repetitions.

At Stoic Athletics, every session follows a progression built around long-term athletic development.

Acceleration and max velocity training to improve sprint mechanics
Resisted sprinting to develop force production
Strength training focused on fundamental movement patterns
Olympic lift progressions to build coordination and explosive power
Competitive games that develop reaction, decision-making, and athletic confidence

Our goal isn’t to create perfect athletes overnight.

Our goal is to build stronger, faster, more resilient athletes through consistent coaching and progressive training.

Our programming is designed using principles from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the National High School Strength Coaches Association (NHSSCA) while continually incorporating ideas from leaders in sports performance through ongoing professional development.

This is Sports Performance. Not just another workout.

Every sprint, jump, lift, and game has a purpose.

At Stoic Athletics, athletes don’t just exercise, they learn.

🏃 Sprint mechanics that build acceleration and max velocity.
💥 Olympic lift progressions that develop coordination, power, and force production.
🏋️ Strength training built around fundamental movement patterns.
🎯 Competitive games that improve reaction, decision-making, and athleticism.
📈 A progression designed to help athletes build capacity first, then improve transfer to sport over time.

Our athletes aren’t expected to be perfect.

They’re expected to learn.

Because long-term athletic development isn’t about mastering a movement in one day, it’s about building the foundation for years of athletic success.

Our programming is guided by principles from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the National High School Strength Coaches Association (NHSSCA) while continually evolving through education from leading practitioners in sports performance.

We’re committed to bringing current coaching methods and evidence-informed training to the High Desert—helping local athletes prepare for the demands of high school athletics and beyond.

Learn. Move. Develop. Compete.

Stronger. Faster. More Confident.
