The off-season program for football players who want to be the difference next season. Written by someone who plays the game: running back, ELF champion 2025, national team.
$40 one-time. No subscription trap.
Runs in the TrainHeroic app. Start today.
I see it every off-season: players hammering a five-day bro split, gaining three kilos and showing up to camp slower than they left. Strength that doesn't show up on the field is decoration.
Football asks for something else: explosiveness from a standstill. Acceleration over the first 10 yards. Stability through contact. An engine that's still running in the fourth quarter. That's exactly what Alpha Athlete is built for.
6 sessions, each with a clear job:
Sprints, jumps, change of direction. The stuff scouts notice first.
Squat, deadlift, bench. The basics, heavy and clean. No circus exercises.
Targeted assistance work so the big lifts keep climbing.
Joints, tendons, core. The part that gets you through the season instead of into rehab.
Intervals that feel like a fourth quarter. Because that's what they're for.
Clear instructions instead of "listen to your body".
Inside the program I explain why you're doing what you're doing, phase by phase. Athletes who understand their training push harder. 12 weeks, 3 phases: base and technique first, then maximal strength, then converting it into explosiveness, timed for the start of your season.
You don't just show up to camp in shape. You show up a different player.
No hard feelings if it's not for you. I only want your money if it actually helps you.
Your kid wants to train with a pro and you want to know what's behind it. Fair. Short version: $40 one-time, no subscription, no hidden costs. The program puts clean technique before load and builds intensity step by step. Injury prevention is its own training block, not a footnote. I play at the highest European level myself and train exactly the way I coach here. Questions? Write me at kai@k2athletics.com. I answer personally.

"During this workout plan, I was able to improve my squat max from 100 to 120 kg, my bench press from 80 to 100 kg, and my 40-yard time from 4.9–5.0 to 4.8–4.7."

"Thanks to Kai's training, I was not only able to maintain my speed and explosiveness during the season but even improve them. The exchange with him was always super helpful. He knows exactly what it takes to dominate on the field."

"The training really made a difference. I quickly felt much more athletic. More power, better endurance, and above all, I became noticeably faster. My change of direction has also become much smoother. The plan suited me perfectly."

"With Coach Hunter's training plan, I was able to prepare optimally for the season even in a very short time, and also stay fit and fast throughout the season. The collaboration works really well, and any open questions are answered quickly."

Verified athlete reviews from TrainHeroic.
Ambitious players with lifting basics. You don't need to be a pro: every exercise has a demo video with coaching cues right in the app.
A gym with a barbell, dumbbells, cables and resistance bands, plus space to sprint (field, gym hall or track works).
5 to 6 sessions a week, 60 to 90 minutes each.
16+. Under 18: talk to your parents, the section above is written for them.
The program runs in the TrainHeroic app: exercises, videos, tracking, all in one place.
Yes. Off-season athleticism is position-independent. Every position needs speed, strength and explosiveness.
It's built as an off-season program. In-season you're better off with an adjusted plan, check 1:1 coaching for that.
The purchase runs through TrainHeroic, so their refund terms apply. If you're not sure the program fits you: just message me first and I'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense for you.
