Our READY>PREPARE>PERFORM Model™ ensures a fluid functional training environment so athletes develop and enhance the physical and mental traits necessary to get and stay in the zone. This allows them to maximize their preparation and perform at their very best when they need it most – in competition.

ZoneReady training programs are designed to maximize your performance based upon your ultimate goal. Our model for success can be broken down into three distinct yet integrated segments: READY>PREPARE>PERFORM.
Each stage builds a foundation for the next, allowing you to realize optimal return from your training.

In simplest terms, READY> is the development of your raw athletic skills such as speed, strength and lateral agility; PREPARE> is learning the tactics and strategies specific to your sport such as tackling, shooting and passing as they fit into your practice environment; and PERFORM is when you bring it all together, get into the zone and put your hard work on display for the world to witness.

READY>
Most of ZoneReady training programs are focused here. The goal at the READY> stage is to identify the combination of athletic traits you need for your specific sport and the best way to assemble them into a program for optimal results. For example, a baseball player might focus on linear speed and quickness/reactivity to allow them to get a jump when trying to steal second, while a football defensive back needs to work on their agility/change of direction skills to allow them to react aggressively to a receiver’s route.

The READY> stage also involves mental preparedness. We work on mental toughness, confidence, value prioritization and skills to build the intellectual agility required to make effective split-second decisions in the heat of competition.

When your physical and mental skills are optimized, you will be able to quickly and easily draw upon these tools to get the most out of yourself during practice and ultimately during your performance or competition. ZoneReady promotes greater transfer of these skills from the training environment to competition by integrating physical and mental demands seamlessly into a workout. During training, you get the same feel as during practice and competition. When you feel it in training, you can do it when it counts, and it becomes second nature.

A READY> athlete is strong, fast, explosive, coordinated, and conditioned for practice. Resistance to injury, confidence, and athleticism are high – the athlete is ready to practice.

PREPARE>
Simply put, this is practice. This is where you learn specialized movements, which translate into the skills specific to your sport. You also develop the strategy, so you know when to use them. This is where the playbook comes to life.

Practice takes you through the PREPARE> stage. It combines the entirety of your training and knowledge into conditions that simulate competition as closely as possible, so you are set to perform at your highest possible level.

PERFORM
This is GAMEDAY – the moment of truth – your finest hour. This is when you draw on the skills and knowledge you developed in the READY> and PREPARE> stages and express your abilities to their fullest extent. You are thriving in this situation and the best part about it is that you know the outcome. Victory is a choice you made long ago – now is the time for you to reveal it to the world. When you are READY> and you PREPARE> expect success when you PERFORM.
