Training by muscle groups doesn’t transfer to sport. You are wasting your athletes effort with pour workout structure!!!

That’s why we built the 5 Pillar Performance System—
focused on how the body actually moves:
Acceleration. Deceleration. Rotation. Isolation. Mobility.

Currently implementing this with athletes for @merrillville_bb 

If you want the full breakdown, comment ‘Pillars” and I’ll send it.

Speed isn’t trained.

It’s built through force production.

If you can’t put force into the ground, you can’t accelerate.

That’s why we train it this way.

This is how we build acceleration inside the 5 Pillar Performance System at Merrillville High School. @merrillville_bb 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

You don’t need random exercises. You need a reason behind what you’re training.

Here’s a full 5PPS performance workout built around four movement patterns:

ACCELERATION
• Single-Leg Bulgarian Jumps — 4×10/leg
• Weighted Pogos — 4×15
• Drop Step → Straight-Leg Box Jump

DECELERATION
• Single-Leg Squat — 4×8/leg
• Depth Drop → Stick — 4×5
• Split Drop Lunge — 4×5/leg

ISOLATION
• Banded Knee Drives — 4×10/leg
• Bulgarian Split Squat — 4 sets
• 5 quad-focused + 5 glute-focused/leg
• Alternating Single-Leg Hamstring Bridges — 4×10

ROTATION
• Bird Dogs — 3×20 sec
• Russian Twists — 3×20 sec

But this is only one workout.

If you’re preparing for basketball tryouts, the bigger question is:

What are you doing between now and tryout day?

That’s why I created the low cost 30-Day 5PPS Pre-Tryout Performance Program for basketball athletes who want a structured plan to physically PREPARED!

Tryouts are coming. Don’t wait until the week before to start training your body.

Want the details?

DM me “TRYOUT” and I’ll send you the program info.

The goal isn’t to throw exercises together and hope they create results.

Every movement has a purpose.

Movement Patterns × Performance Qualities = Performance Outcomes.

That’s the foundation of the 5 Pillar Performance System.

Train the patterns. Develop the qualities. Earn the outcomes.

Strength ≠ Power.

They’re connected, but they’re not the same.

Strength is your ability to produce force.

Power is your ability to produce that force quickly.

And basketball happens FAST.

Your first step.

Your jump.

Your ability to explode into a closeout.

Your ability to finish through contact before the defense can react.

Strength gives you the foundation.

Power teaches you to express it.

That’s why getting stronger doesn’t automatically make you a better athlete.

Train the patterns.

Develop the qualities.

Earn the outcomes.

Everybody wants the result.

The dunk.
The vertical.
The highlight.

But most athletes spend their time chasing the outcome instead of training what actually creates it.

At Level Beyond Performance, we don’t guess.

We train movement with purpose.

Every exercise should build something.

Every workout should move an athlete closer to better performance.

That’s the difference between random workouts and following a system.

Train the patterns.
Develop the qualities.
Earn the outcomes.

Most basketball players think explosiveness only comes from stronger legs.

That’s only part of the equation.

If you want to become more explosive, finish through contact better, move efficiently, and stay balanced in chaotic situations…

You need to improve your ability to transfer force.

That means:
🏀 finishing through contact
🏀 body control in the air
🏀 changing direction efficiently
🏀 staying balanced on drives
🏀 defensive movement & recovery
🏀 first-step explosiveness

This is why we train Rotation inside the 5 Pillar Performance System.

Because great athletes don’t just create force…

They learn how to transfer and control it.

This is how we train it with our athletes. @merrillville_bb

Most athletes train how to go…

But never train how to stop.

That’s a problem.

Because sports aren’t just acceleration.

They’re:
➡️ stopping
➡️ changing direction
➡️ absorbing force

If an athlete can’t decelerate, their body pays the price.

Inside the 5 Pillar Performance System, deceleration is how we build control, movement efficiency, and durability.

This is how we train it with our athletes.

Most conditioning teaches athletes to survive fatigue.

Basketball demands something different.

Players have to accelerate, decelerate, react, change direction, and make decisions while competing against another athlete.

That’s why I love using competitive constraint games like this. The intensity is higher, the engagement is better, and the transfer to the game is much greater.

The goal isn’t to make athletes tired.

The goal is to make them better competitors.

Comment GAME if you want more drills like this.

One of the biggest mistakes coaches make is assuming strength automatically transfers to sport.

It doesn’t.

Athletes have to learn how to apply that strength through movement.

That’s why we recently started moving portions of our training onto the court.

The weight room builds the engine, but the court teaches athletes how to use it.

This session focused on:

🏀 First-step explosiveness

🏀 Lateral force production

🏀 Linear acceleration

🏀 Deceleration 

🏀 Change of Direction 

🏀 Movement integration

The goal isn’t just stronger athletes. The goal is athletes who can express that strength when the game speeds up.
