Their technique is dialed in. They've been drilling all season. Their fencing coach has done the work. But when the second DE hits and their legs are heavy, when their coordination breaks down under fatigue, when they pick up a nagging injury mid-tournament β that's not a technique problem. That's a physical preparation problem.
This challenge builds the qualities that keep your fencer performing at their best when it counts: coordination under fatigue, conditioning to last through a full day of competition, injury-resilient movement patterns, and explosive plyometric power. Each plan is customized around your fencer's current club schedule and training volume β we work with their routine, not against it.
Everything is tailored to their age, ability, equipment access, and competitive goals.
Two 45-minute sessions per week, built specifically for each athlete. Coordination, conditioning, injury prevention, and plyometrics β customized around their club schedule and current training volume so nothing conflicts.
