This year is laid from the lab’s own calendar — every course inside the lab end to end, then its floors — not written quarter by quarter. The weeks are the lab’s; the quarter windows are the catalog’s.

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

WK 1The Business of SportsTHE FRONT OFFICE · THE BUSINESS OF SPORTS
Before you can work in sports, you have to see where the money actually is — and it’s almost never where fans think.
WK 2Economics & Finance — The Cap Room
A salary cap is a hard math problem you solve with a full roster on the line. This is where you stop being a fan and start thinking like a GM — the number does the teaching.
WK 3Marketing & Media
The hardest sell in sports is a team that loses — and the people who can do it are worth a fortune. Marketing is why a nobody becomes a brand.
WK 4Sport Analytics
Moneyball didn’t stay in baseball — every front office runs on data now. But the number and the eye test fight, and knowing when to trust which is the whole job.
WK 5Legal, Ethical & Social
Contracts, agents, NIL, unions, concussions — and the honest questions about who owns the game vs. who plays it. This is the module that protects you and tells you the truth.
WK 6Facility & Operations
Somebody has to run the building — staff it, feed it, secure it, and hit the number. Game-day ops is a live P&L, and it’s one of the most hireable jobs in sports.
WK 7The Global Game
The rest of the world runs sports completely differently — and understanding why teaches you more about business models than any single league can.
WK 8Energy 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 9Speed & 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.
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
A training program
The question. Can you program safe movement + read the body?
The make. A training program
The evidence. Handed in through Train the Body · Fitness & NIL’s own surface and kept in My Work; the Report reads it from there.
Quarter 2 · The Science of Training → The floor
WEEKS 10–18THE WEEKS · THE ROOMS EACH ONE OPENS
WK 10Periodization & RecoveryTHE SCIENCE OF TRAINING
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 11The 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.

The floor — the work is done in the room, logged in the room, kept in My Work.

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.
