Implementation Guide
Six steps to bring the ATP framework into your program — whether you're a PE teacher, strength coach, or youth athletic coach.
Start with the Metabolic Quiz
Have your athletes take the 6-question Metabolic Quiz on the Tools page. It takes 2 minutes and gives each athlete a personalized starting module. Use the results to identify which athletes need the most foundational work.
Assign Module 01 as Baseline
"What Is Health?" is the foundational module. Assign it as homework or cover it in a 20-minute class discussion. The goal is to establish a shared vocabulary and challenge the assumptions athletes bring from mainstream culture.
Use Daily Fix Workouts in Class
The Daily Fix BODY workouts are all bodyweight, require no equipment, and take 15-45 minutes. Use them as class programming. The BELLY and BRAIN entries can be assigned as reading or used as discussion starters.
Run the 30-Day Challenge
The 30-Day Tracker on the Tools page lets athletes track daily completion. Run it as a class challenge with a leaderboard. The 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day milestones create natural check-in points.
Share the For Parents Page
The For Parents page explains the ATP framework in parent-friendly language. Send the link home at the start of the program. Parent buy-in dramatically improves athlete compliance, especially on nutrition.
Use Field Guides as Handouts
Each Field Guide is designed to be printable and shareable. The Insulin Resistance Guide, 30-Day Meal Plan, and Sleep Optimization Guide are the three most impactful for athlete development.
Frameworks & References
The ATP framework is built on peer-reviewed research and established coaching methodologies. These are the primary sources.
NASM Youth Exercise Specialization (YES)
The gold standard certification for youth fitness. The ATP framework aligns with NASM's youth-specific movement progressions and periodization principles.
Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA)
Evidence-based frameworks for developing the whole athlete: character, resilience, and performance. The BRAIN pillar of ATP draws heavily from PCA research.
Mike Boyle — Functional Training for Sports
The foundational text for functional movement in athletic development. The BODY pillar of ATP is built on Boyle's movement-first philosophy.
Robert Lustig — Metabolical
The definitive scientific case against processed food and sugar. The BELLY pillar of ATP is grounded in Lustig's research on fructose, insulin, and metabolic disease.
Matthew Walker — Why We Sleep
The most comprehensive scientific case for sleep as the foundation of performance, health, and cognitive function. Required reading for any coach.
What Coaches Are Saying
"The Insulin Problem module changed how my athletes think about food. We spent a whole class on it and the questions they asked told me they actually got it."

"I've been using the Daily Fix workouts as my PE class warm-up for three months. The kids love the variety and I love that it's grounded in real science."

"The Sleep Tracker tool is the one that surprised me most. When athletes saw their own data — 5.5 hours average — the conversation changed completely."
