MVP Training's Long Term Athletic Development Model

Our Long Term Development Plan has age appropriate benchmarks to help the athlete be the best over a long period of the athlete's life. We provide testing, corrective plans, and extensive diagnostics to ensure that each athletes skill development is appropriate to the stage that they are physically ready for. We have 7 stages in our Long Term Athletic Development Model.

1. Active Start Stage- ages 0-5. Some experts consider this the most important part of the Athletic Development Model. This is where the infant, baby, child learns to roll, crawl, sit, stand, walk, and run. This stage of life is where the nervous system starts to make its mark on the individual. Research studies indicate that missing or the child not learning one of the key ingredients can hinder the overall development of the child.
2. Fun-damental Stage- ages 4-7. This is the area that the athlete becomes familiar with the basic motor skill patterns such as Running, Throwing, Kicking, Swimming, and Jumping. MVP Training provides a structured program to allow them to have fun and learn to love physical activity and sport.
3. Learn to Train or Movement Prep- ages 8-11. This stage the athlete becomes accustom to sprinting, peak velocity, and a minimum amount of strength training. Where the fundamental skills are improved on to teach proper mechanics in throwing, running, sprinting, and jumping. 
4. Train to Train or Peak Training- approximately ages 12-16 is where most of the habits, good or bad, are developed. This is where the most improvement in training can occur. Athletes train to compete at this level, start resistance training, and go through a rapid growth process. This stages is very fragile and 
5. Train to Compete or Competitive Stage- approximately ages 17-19. At this stage the athlete learns the hard work principles of sport and winning becomes a priority. MVP Training provides the proper diagnostics, periodized strength and conditioning program that suits the athlete. All athletes are treated as their own program. Injury prevention is also a major priority at this stage.
6. Train to Win or Elite Competition Stage- ages 20+. At this stage the motor patterns are at a permanent stage. We provide testing, improvement of weaknesses from those test, and enhancement of the strengths given by the trained athlete. Our job is to get you to performing at your peak. MVP Training does this by providing the best nutritional, physical, and psychological professionals that this area provides. 
7. Lifetime Activation- Where the athlete learns to be physically active in the post athletic career. The habits learned from the first six stages are critical in the rest of the individual's life. Lifetime Activities have become a popular economy. Triatholons, Hiking, Biking, Mudders, Adult Basketball, Baseball, and Flag Football Leagues are being used to help the active lifestyles of adults. Finding ways to balance career, fun, and staying in shape can be a tough task at times. MVP Training helps to balance these with the proper plans for the proper age.
