Spiking through pain isn't grit.

The shoulder is one of the most critical body parts in volleyball. We cannot continue playing in pain.

01
Your shoulder aches in warm-up.

By set two you're losing power. Treat the symptoms early before you do irreversible damage.

02
You've tried all the social media exercises.

Without proper programming and progression, random exercises will not address KEY issues.

03
Cleared by the physio. Now what?

A list of band exercises is a clinical handoff, not a training plan. There's no bridge to the court.

04
You're afraid of the next big spike.

You stop hitting at 100%. You serve safer. You don't trust your body.

The whole shoulder. Built around the spike.

In Max's words, the exercises aren't common, but they're the most important things you should be doing as a volleyball athlete. A program that trains the whole shoulder, sequenced around how a hitter actually moves, and the system Max trains on himself.

He's a truly process driven coach who builds athletes step by step, ensuring every skill is grounded in solid fundamentals. My son's development under his guidance has been consistent, measurable, and genuinely transformative. I couldn't recommend Max enough.
Kevin McGrathParent · son coached 2 years
★★★★★
He has completely changed my game. Working with Max brought me up to a state and national level player. His pro level insights and trainings helped me build the skills, confidence, and game sense I needed to compete at a much higher level.
Matt McGrathAthlete · state / national
★★★★★
In just one year of training with Max, I progressed to playing Div 1 in PVL, something I genuinely never thought I'd achieve so quickly. His attention to technique, game awareness, and individual development has made a huge impact on me not only as a player, but also in my confidence overall.
Hayley KeeneAthlete · Div 1 PVL
★★★★★
Thanks to Max's expertise, my son has not only made the top state team selection multiple times, Max has also coached him into a position in the Australian pre-youth team. He is a highly motivating, inspirational coach with an emphasis on injury prevention and career longevity.
Kelli OttawayParent · Australian pre-youth
★★★★★
Since working with Max, my technical skills, game play knowledge and situational awareness has improved. Max explains concepts clearly and breaks down movements so I understand how slight changes have big impacts.
Mathilde RossAthlete
★★★★★
Every session with Max was well planned, constructive and filled with enthusiasm and encouragement. If you want to improve on the court, I highly recommend Max. What a wonderful coach and mentor.

Questions, briefly answered.

If it's not here, reach out. Our team will get back to you.

What's the difference between this and the free mobility guide?
The free routine is eight mobility moves, about a minute each. The program is progressive loading. Mobility is the warm-up; the program is the work that actually changes how durable your shoulder is. Different tools, different jobs.
What equipment do I need?
We recommend having access to a gym full of proper equipment. Otherwise, it may be very difficult to complete the full program without restriction.
How does it fit around training?
Built to slot before practice, after practice, or as a standalone block.
Can I do this in-season?
Yes. The program is built to be run anytime during the year. Training-block intensity adjusts to your in-season schedule. Phase 3 specifically is the in-season power generation phase.
I have active pain. Should I buy this?
If you have a current diagnosed injury or pain that hasn't been cleared by a physio, see a physio first. This program is for athletes who suffer from pain but don't have any serious injuries requiring intervention from medical professionals.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. Buy it once. Re-run the program every off-season, every pre-season, every time you come back from a rest.
What's "Founding Member" pricing?
The founding price is $37. After the founding intake, the program goes to $47. Same product. The founding price reflects the early intake and lets us collect feedback before the wider open.
