What This Program Is (and What It Isn’t)

The Averett Academy Athlete Development Program is not a high-volume camp, a generic strength class, or a one-size-fits-all training block.

It’s a small, intentional cohort experience designed to meet student athletes where they are and help them move forward with purpose.

  • Small Group
    4–6 athletes allows for focused coaching and sport-specific programming

  • Athlete-Led Coaching
    Built by former student athletes who understand the pressure and demands

  • Purpose-Built Training
    Equipment and programming designed specifically for athletes

What Training Includes

Each cohort follows a structured progression focused on:

Strength Development: Building a strong, resilient foundation that supports sport-specific demands and reduces injury risk.

Speed & Agility: Improving acceleration, deceleration, change of direction, and overall athletic movement quality.

Vertical & Power: Intentional power training using athlete-specific tools, including VertiMax, to develop explosiveness safely and effectively.

Sport-Specific Considerations: Programming is adapted based on the sports represented in each cohort — not run as a generic circuit.

Baseline Testing & Progress Tracking: Athletes complete baseline assessments at the start of the program and receive progress feedback throughout the cohort.

Athlete-Led Philosophy

We’re not business people who decided to train athletes.

We were student athletes ourselves.
Serious ones.

We understand:

  • performance pressure

  • balancing sport and school

  • learning how your body works

  • navigating parents, coaches, and expectations

  • staying healthy without burning out

This program is built from lived experience and exercise science.

More Than Training: Guest-Led Education & Support

Athletic development doesn’t happen in isolation. Throughout the cohort, athletes (and parents, where appropriate) will have access to guest-led workshops designed to support the whole athlete.

Planned guest speakers include:

  • Athlete Nutrition Coach

  • Sports Chiropractor

  • Endurance Coach

  • Physical Therapist

  • Work/Life Integration Specialist

These sessions are practical, athlete-relevant, and grounded in real-world application to support wholistic development of the student within and outside of their season.

Next Step: Request a Consultation

Because this is a cohort-based program, we start with a brief consultation to ensure it’s the right fit for both the athlete and the group.
