A body-and-mind training system that meets athletes where they are — based on their kinesthetic intelligence, not their age.
Most youth training programs sort athletes by age. We don't. We measure Kinesthetic Intelligence (KI) — a 0‑100 score based on how an athlete's body learns, adapts, and retains movement. Two 14-year-olds can have completely different KI scores. That's why they need completely different training.
How quickly does the athlete pick up new movement patterns? Can they match a cadence on first exposure, or do they need repeated attempts?
Can they replicate a demonstrated movement without step-by-step instruction? This reveals how the body processes visual information into motor output.
Do mechanics hold when speed increases? Or does form break down under intensity? This separates genuine skill acquisition from surface-level compliance.
Can the athlete feel and fix errors internally — without being told? This is the highest form of kinesthetic intelligence and the gateway to elite movement.
These four indicators sum to a KI Score (0–100) which determines the athlete's developmental stage.
Stage determines everything: drill selection, session structure, coaching language, intensity, and expectations. It's not a label — it's a prescription.
Building the vocabulary of movement. Focus on rhythm acquisition, basic coordination, body awareness, and confidence. Sessions are 100% field work — no gym load yet.
Layering power onto rhythm. Athletes begin to combine speed with strength. Gym sessions introduced with bodyweight and light load. Sprint mechanics sharpened.
Speed + load under competitive demand. Athletes train with intent and self-awareness. Gym work becomes structured (push/pull/legs). Race-specific prep begins.
Event-specific refinement and peaking. Training is highly individualized. Athletes self-correct in real time. The coach becomes a mirror, not an instructor.
We don't train athletes in one dimension. Every session touches multiple pillars. Every pillar is tracked. No athlete falls through the cracks.
Mechanics, posture, range of motion. The foundation everything else is built on.
Force production, explosiveness, acceleration. Converting strength into speed.
Timing, cadence, coordination. The thread that connects all movement into flow.
HRV, sleep, nervous system state. You can't build on a body that hasn't recovered.
Focus, emotional regulation, resilience. Integrated with Liz's clinical framework.
Self-belief built through mastery, not praise. Memory is confidence — when the body remembers, the mind trusts.
Every session, every athlete, every stage. These three exercises open every training day. They're not warm-ups — they're the foundation.
Rhythm foundation. Teaches ground contact timing, ankle stiffness, and coordination. The simplest tool with the deepest impact.
The mechanical blueprint. Knee drive, hip extension, arm synchronization. Every sprint pattern starts here.
Memory access. Running at 60–70% effort lets the body recall mechanics without performance pressure. This is where learning consolidates.
"These aren't warm-ups.
They're the foundation."

We check the whole athlete before every session. The Composite Readiness Score determines what training looks like that day — not the calendar.
Clinical Safety Net: When an athlete reports an emotional state of 2 or below (on a 1–5 scale), training pauses. Our Licensed Clinical Director, Liz Loving Maurice, is notified and support begins immediately. Performance never comes before wellbeing.
We built our own tools because nothing else did what we needed. Every app in the JL.Influence ecosystem feeds the methodology — not the other way around.
The coaching command center. Four tabs — Roster (manage athletes), Session (log speed + gym work), Analysis (AI-powered sprint breakdown), and History (track progress across all 6 pillars). Every rep recorded. Every session scored.
Learn more →HRV-based nervous system regulation. Measure, regulate, return. Directly feeds the Recovery and Mental pillars of the readiness system.
Learn more →Built into the Hybrid Tracker's Analysis tab. Select an athlete, upload a sprint video (film yourself or use any running clip), hit "Analyze Sprint" — and get instant biomechanical feedback powered by browser-based pose detection (MediaPipe BlazePose). Joint angles, stride mechanics, and KI scoring derived automatically. No cloud upload required — everything runs on your device.
