Strength + Power
Restore force production, side-to-side capacity, and the explosive qualities required by the athlete’s position.
Book assessmentLate-Stage Rehab + Sports Performance
Not just cleared.
Prepared.
A criteria-based bridge from rehabilitation back to sprinting, cutting, practice, and confident competition.
The COR1 approach
Close the return-to-play gap.
Medical clearance is an important milestone, but it does not always answer whether an athlete can tolerate the speed, chaos, fatigue, contact, and repeated effort of sport. COR1 progressively rebuilds those demands and uses objective information to guide the transition.
Running + Sprinting
Progress from controlled running to acceleration, upright sprinting, and appropriately dosed high-speed exposure.
Deceleration + Cutting
Rebuild braking, body position, planned change of direction, and eventually reactive movement.
Sport Integration
Prepare for practice volume, position-specific tasks, decision-making, and competition intensity.
Inside the program
Specific work. Clear purpose.
COR1 can complement ongoing rehabilitation or become the next step after traditional therapy. The plan is coordinated with the athlete’s medical recommendations and current stage—not based on a calendar alone.
Readiness baseline
Review injury history, current rehabilitation, medical guidance, strength, movement, performance, and athlete confidence.
Capacity building
Address the physical qualities still limiting the athlete: strength, power, running tolerance, speed, braking, or repeat-effort ability.
Progressive exposure
Increase velocity, unpredictability, fatigue, space, and sport context in a deliberate order rather than jumping from drills to full play.
Practice transition
Build a staged plan from modified participation to unrestricted practice and, when appropriate, competition.
Objective feedback
What we track—and why.
Testing is selected because it changes decisions. Parents and athletes receive a clear explanation of the results, priorities, and next training phase.
- 01Relevant strength and side-to-side capacity
- 02Single-leg jump, landing, and explosive performance
- 03Acceleration and high-speed running exposure
- 04Deceleration and change-of-direction execution
- 05Tolerance to repeated efforts and practice-like workload
- 06Athlete confidence and psychological readiness
What to expect
A plan with a purpose.
- 01
Baseline
Identify the performance, workload, and confidence gaps between current ability and sport demands.
- 02
Rebuild
Develop missing strength, power, speed, movement control, and conditioning.
- 03
Expose
Reintroduce planned and reactive sport demands with progressively greater intensity and complexity.
- 04
Transition
Use criteria and response to workload to guide modified practice, full practice, and competition.

Frequently asked questions
Questions parents ask before starting.
01Does COR1 provide medical clearance?+
Medical clearance comes from the appropriate medical provider. COR1 helps evaluate and build the physical and performance readiness needed to act on that clearance.
02When should return-to-play training begin?+
It can begin while an athlete is still receiving rehabilitation or after discharge, depending on healing, medical guidance, current capacity, and the demands being introduced.
03Is passing a test enough to return?+
No single score captures readiness. Testing is combined with training response, workload tolerance, movement quality, sport exposure, confidence, and medical guidance.
04How do you progress back to practice?+
The transition may include individual work, noncontact or modified drills, controlled team work, unrestricted practice, and competition. The sequence is individualized to the injury and sport.
