4 weeks of Train the Body · Fitness & NIL: Energy Systems · Speed & Strength · Periodization & Recovery · The Youth Truth
The weeks are the course’s own, read from the lab; the catalog pads the last weeks with the capstone and the floor so the course fills a whole term.

The squares are a picture of a course — how much of each core subject its own rooms carry, read from the rooms’ text — never a score of a student. Every course in a lab is graded to the core across the board; the squares say which columns it feeds most.
WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO
- Every sport runs on a different fuel system
- "Just run more" doesn’t make you faster, and the vertical jump isn’t a leg-muscle contest
- The most-violated rule in youth sports: you cannot go hard all year
- The research says the opposite of what most youth coaches do — and this module protects the athlete in front of you

WK 1Energy SystemsTHE SCIENCE OF TRAINING
Every sport runs on a different fuel system. Train a sprinter like a marathoner and you’ve made him slow — this is why.
WK 2Speed & Strength
"Just run more" doesn’t make you faster, and the vertical jump isn’t a leg-muscle contest. Speed and power are trainable qualities — if you know what they actually are.
WK 3Periodization & Recovery
The most-violated rule in youth sports: you cannot go hard all year. The body adapts during recovery, not during work — and more is not better.
WK 4The Youth Truth
The research says the opposite of what most youth coaches do — and this module protects the athlete in front of you. Early specialization is a trap.
WK 5–9The capstone, then the floor
The capstone the track ends in, then the floor: the work is done in the room, logged in the room, kept in My Work.
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
The capstone · The Science of Training
The question. What does The Science of Training ask you to be able to do by week 4?
The make. Every week's assignment and the quiz as practice: Energy Systems · Speed & Strength · Periodization & Recovery · The Youth Truth …
The evidence. Handed in through The Science of Training inside Train the Body · Fitness & NIL, kept in My Work; the Report reads it from there.
A course is a quarter, a semester or a year — nine, eighteen or thirty-six weeks — a project a quarter. Offered as the year, a semester or a quarter, it is the same course seen through a window. A lab is a family: its year, each of its tracks as a course, and its rooms. The evidence is what a student hands in through the room; the Report reads it from there. Nothing in the catalog is a grade.
