NEW: Hybrid Master Course Level 2
Building off of the platform the Level 1 constructs, the Level 2 is a 5-week live programming workshop, dedicated to the most effective application of methods.
Always led by Alex Viada, new cohorts announced as they open based on Alex's availability. Join the email list below for instant access when one opens.
Critical milestones achieved during the 5-week period include:
-
Assessment of current weekly work split and athlete tolerance
-
Development of "ideal" plan - having a sense of the optimal split
-
Designing a strategy for "evolving" an existing plan into ideal plan
The goal is for coaches enrolled to be able to not only construct an ideal plan, but also to assess and adjust existing plans based on athlete feedback. If the Level 1 is largely the "what," Level 2 is the "why" and "when."
Highly flexible, the Level 2 functions as a "small group mentorship," allowing for Alex to change and adjust the material to best suit the combined interests of the students enrolled.
Run in 5-week cohorts, limited to 10 students at a time. All live calls are recorded, forum hosted in Discord. Access to/use of Discord required for participation. Cost: $639.00 USD
Be the first to nab your spot
Hop on the email list to be notified as soon as a new cohort is opened for registration, before the general public gain access. Our first cohort sold out within 48 hours.
You will ONLY get emails about the Level 2.
Meet your instructor: Alex Viada
A lifelong athlete, I've participated and competed in nearly every sport imaginable (some with greater success than others), since being dragged to my first swim meet when I was four years old. I've coached thousands of athletes, of all ages and levels, in sports ranging from bodybuilding to ultra-running to triathlon to cycling to powerlifting. I've also prepared close to 100 individuals for Ranger School, SFAS, BUD/s, and other selective military programs using everything I've learned from coaching athletes on every end of the strength and endurance spectrum.
Now, I spend my time coaching a hand-selected group of clients (apply via the Premier form), continuing my research, writing & creating new educational materials, and free weekly Q&As on my Instagram page.
I lean on my team to help me grow my craft, provide world-class coaching, and continue to exemplify every hallmark of true "hybrid" coaching.
Meet our Level 1 graduates:
A variety of coaches from a variety of fields, all of whom are Master Hybrid Coaches and hold the certificate to prove it.
