PREMIER PLAYER TRAINING [PPT] Strategic Development Program For the Elite Athlete
What is PPT PPT is a strategic development program for the individual player who desires to take it to the next level in sport and life. This program is facilitated through a mentoring & coaching relationship utilizing on-‐field training and one-‐on-‐one meetings. A custom schedule will be created with specific objectives that will educate and empower the athlete through the development modules (see below).
Who can be involved in PPT An elite athlete who is committed and looking for that competitive ‘edge’ can be in PPT. This is a comprehensive plan to help an athlete understand who they are, what they want, and how to get there. PPT will be customized based on the needs of the athlete. This is not for everyone. Athletes who are part of PPT are those who are ready to be “all-‐in” and do everything in his or her power to become great.
Pictured below are the quadrants of the PPT Development Program. Following the quadrants is further information on content that will be worked into the athlete’s development plan.

PPT Development Modules
Personal Growth Each individual person is unique and therefore lives according to certain values and functions out of certain strengths and personality traits. Gaining this self-‐knowledge sets a person up to achieve success quicker and easier. Athletes will have the opportunity to discover their personality type, archetype, confidence quotient, strength profile, value profile, and behavior profile. These discoveries help in connection and interactions with teammates, authority figures, and leadership growth.
Goal Setting Athletes will create their vision of success. Once this career vision is cast we will spend time capturing a clear picture of their current reality. From this starting point, detailed long-‐term and short-‐term goals will be set and tracked in segments. The athlete will learn how to create personal habits that will directly impact progress towards achievement.
Self-‐Evaluation Athletes will learn how to put into practice daily self-‐evaluation. A variety of topics and/or habits can be tracked depending on the needs of the athlete. The following are some categories that can be evaluated daily: effort, performance, attitude, motivation, technical expertise, tactical play, fitness and nutrition.
Enhanced Performance Players will learn how to get “in the zone” and stay “in the zone”. Competing at a high level day in and day out is difficult, so strategizing how to maintain high performance every day is important to overall personal success. Athletes will also discover what motivates them and how to tap into these motivators daily. There will be specific focus on increasing and sustaining confidence while minimizing limitations.
Mental & Emotional Intelligence Athletes need to be self-‐aware and be able to manage thoughts and emotions. Stress and anxiety is a reality in life, therefore athletes will work on discovering their entry points for stress, whether the source is internal or external, and how to deal with these emotions in the moment. Visualization and positive self-‐talk will assist athletes in staying confident and focused.
