Your Season Shapes Your Schedule

We generally recommend two sessions per week. This rhythm creates regular opportunities to practice, receive feedback, and build on your work.

One session per week is a purposeful development option. This schedule may suit athletes balancing school and club commitments or playing in multiple leagues. It can also help athletes manage weeks with three or four games plus practices. We plan around the full workload, with quality, consistency, and recovery in mind.

Looking further ahead? A six-month development partnership is available by consultation, with a schedule shaped around your goals and season.

How Your Development Works

Your goals. Your plan. The EP Standard.

Understand the Athlete

We start with your goals, sport, movement, and training history. Coach Payton considers your strengths, development needs, and season demands to identify where focused coaching can help most.

Build Your Blueprint

Your assessment becomes a practical training plan. Together, we set priorities and shape your private sessions around your goals, readiness, practices, games, and recovery needs.

Build the Foundation

Develop movement quality from the ground up: foot and ankle stability, core control, running mechanics, and landing. Progress into speed, power, and change of direction as your control improves.

Train From the Inside Out

EP Mindset, breathing, and recovery are part of your development. Practice resetting after mistakes, choosing your response, building disciplined habits, and preparing with confidence.

Apply It to Your Sport

Connect better movement and mindset to the demands of competition. Use reactive drills, decision-making, communication, and appropriate skill work to practice performing with control under pressure.

Review. Refine. Progress.

Review progress with Coach Payton, recognize improvements, and identify the next priorities. Your plan evolves with your development and season, balancing challenge, workload, and recovery.

In-Game Feedback & Mindset Support

When Coach Payton or another EP trainer attends your game, support goes beyond observation. At appropriate breaks, athletes can ask what we are seeing, discuss adjustments, and check in on how they are feeling mentally.

We help athletes apply EP Mindset techniques, reset after mistakes, and return to play with a clear focus. Our feedback supports each athlete and respects the direction provided by the team coach.

EP Development, EP Performance, and longer packages include every standard EP Athlete benefit, plus official EP Athlete gear.
