Strength, for everyone
We introduce powerlifting to Richardson teens ages 12 to 18. Each athlete gets their own volunteer coach, who writes their program and trains with them one-on-one all season.

How the program works
One program, built around one relationship: an athlete and their coach.
Step 1
A parent or guardian signs up
Fill out a short form with your contact info. We'll call you to answer questions and get your teen ready.
Step 2
We match your teen with a coach
Every athlete gets their own volunteer coach. Same coach, every session, all season.
Step 3
Their coach writes the program
Squat, bench and deadlift, planned around your teen's age, experience and goals, plus simple nutrition guidance.
Step 4
They train together on weekends
Twelve weeks of Saturday and Sunday mornings at POD, learning to lift safely and getting stronger week by week.
