Coaching Conditioning & Mentorship Updates

Many of you have been patiently waiting for the next evolution of our mentorship program and the final installment of our program design educational series: Coaching Conditioning. These projects have been years in the making, and while the journey has had its fair share of challenges, I’m excited to share an update on where things stand.

The Coaching Conditioning Course

We’re now more than two-thirds of the way through building the conditioning course, with the early modules focused on simplifying complex physiology into clear, usable concepts that translate directly into better program design and coaching.

What’s included so far:

• Actionable explanations that connect science to real-world practice in conditioning
  
• How to run assessments, interpret results, and build stronger conditioning programs
  
• Example case study assessments, data interpretation, and example programs
  
• The final section now in progress: a training toolbox with session-writing frameworks, mixed modal conditioning and proven sample programs

What’s in the new framework for Mixed Modal Conditioning:

Through years of working with elite CrossFit Games athletes and competitive performers, we’ve developed a model for understanding the stimulus of a mixed modal workout and constructing training with purpose.

This framework outlines how the following variables can be trained with different styles of testing:

• Loading and movement selection
• Rep schemes and total volume
• Workout duration and movement order
• Test style and intended dose response
• Psychology & Tactics
  

By understanding these factors, you’ll be able to write more intelligent workouts that actually improve conditioning for sport. It’s a step toward taking the art of program design and turning it into a teachable, repeatable system.

When Will It Launch?

The honest answer; when it’s ready. In the past, I’ve made the mistake of rushing to hit deadlines or falling behind. This time, I want to make sure it’s right. My goal is for you to walk away confident in your ability to prescribe conditioning sessions, understand fatigue, and adapt programs for every type of athlete.

I’ll keep refining the written material and video content, and when it’s ready, you’ll be the first to know. You can sign up here to stay updated as we get closer to release.

What’s Next for the Mentorship

The mentorship program will follow the release of the Conditioning Course. After running three rounds of mentorship already, we’ve learned a lot about how to make it more effective. The goal is to create an environment that gives coaches structure, feedback, and community as they apply the concepts from our courses.

Here’s what’s coming:

• Mentorship for coaches who want to refine their programming and communication skills.
• Education systems for gym owners looking to level up their staff and develop internal learning environments.
• One-on-one mentorship opportunities with TTT coaches for those who want hands-on guidance in coaching, business, or personal development.
  

Education has always been one of my highest values. I’ve put a lot of time, care, and energy into these projects so that we can continue delivering meaningful experiences that push this industry forward.
