Where It Came From

It began with loving hurdles and wanting to get better.Second and third places became the problem to solve.The aim: turn them into wins while athletes stay fresh, engaged and less exposed to injury.

Coach notes
  • The founder investigated the method in depth and experimented with his own athletes before it became a system. He reports that practice inside it is something athletes experience as fun.
  • Fun, freshness and injury prevention are founder claims about the system; they are part of its stated purpose, not proven effects.

Learn to Cook, Not One Recipe

Stay Dangerous is not a fixed drill collection, a training style or a static recipe.It is a way of thinking and prioritizing.The coach learns how to cook.

Coach notes
  • The philosophy, way of thinking, prioritization logic and general seasonal themes are stable.
  • Drills, drill combinations, drill order and the athlete-specific prescription change.
  • Performance outcomes ordinarily change the prescription, not the methodology. Wellness failures produced by the method change the method.

Four Credited Ingredients

Stay Dangerous does not claim original ingredients.Its contribution is the composition: selection, exclusion, sequence, practice rhythm and athlete-specific translation.

Same Practice, Same Results

Practice organization must look for an edge.An average is not a target. In a race of nine, the average points at fifth.

“If we do the same things every other team does in practice, we'll get the same results other teams get in games.”

Coach notes
  • The founder refuses to turn descriptive averages, such as an average takeoff distance or average weekly meters, into prescriptions.
  • Founder additions inside the composition include extreme fun and music, timing every repetition, filming every repetition, athlete investigation of time and form on film, and an intentional practice ramp in which each phase builds a specific part of the race.
