At GDPerform, our approach is rooted in the belief that true athletic excellence is achieved by developing the entire athlete—spirit, soul, and body—and nurturing their relationships with God and others. We were created to connect, grow, and compete with purpose. Our training principles reflect this complete athlete development model:

​

1. Train the Complete Athlete

   • We develop athletes from the inside out—spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. The spirit connects us to God. The soul—our mind, will, and emotions—guides how we think, feel, and act. The body is a beautifully integrated system of systems designed to move with purpose. All are essential to becoming a complete athlete that glorifies God in Sport.

2. Master Movement Literacy

   • We establish and maintain a foundation of movement competency through general, sport-specific, and position-specific movement patterns—building a lifelong movement vocabulary for athletic success.

3. Build Joint Integrity as Structural Athletic Foundation

   • ​Our training emphasizes both mobility and stability across joints and movement chains to ensure structural balance, efficiency, and long-term durability.

4. Progressively Develop Physiological Capacity (Speed, Power & Injury Resilience)

   • ​Through progressive, phase-based programming, we optimize athletic performance using movement patterns tailored to each athlete’s sport and position.

5. Progressively Develop Sport and Position-Specific Skills

   • We drive sport and position-specific skill development through intentional progressions that translate training into game-day performance.

6. Train with Structure and Purpose

   • ​Our systems are structured, repeatable, and evidence-based, ensuring consistent, measurable, and scalable results over time.

7. Make Data-Driven Decisions

   • ​Training is guided by objective data and practical experience—not emotion, ego, or trends—allowing us to adapt and adjust for optimal outcomes. We are committed to continually improve our systematic decision making processes.

8. Offer Training Environments That Fit

   • ​Whether in big groups or small group settings, we create environments that challenge, inspire, and build camaraderie.

9. Build Community Through Sport

   • Beyond reps and sets, we cultivate a culture of encouragement, accountability, and transformation.
