The Blueprint High Performance program is designed to provide athletes with a holistic daily training environment, suitable for full-time professional athletes.
Training includes skill development, dryland training, athlete testing, and race support for privateer athletes without team support. Athletes have access to every athlete needed to compete at the highest level. This program runs bewteen Monday and Friday during the work day, so students must be on a modified or online schedule in order to attend these sessions.
This program runs throughout the year, with training camps during the winter months. Training sessions are reduced during the spring and summer months while athletes are typically competing abroad. More committed athletes are encouraged to combine this program with our Comprehensive Training Plans for a complete training strucutre. Private coaching and physical therapy services are also offered.

Throughout the fall, athletes focus on late-season skill refinement and the introduction of new techniques and tactics, off-season goal setting, and fall competitions. Athletes train as a group a minimum of two days per week. Training days generally include both a dryland and riding portion, ensuring that each member of the group receives guidance across their entire training program. Dryland training takes place at our private facility, Union Health and Performance. At this time athlete testing, benchmarking, and gap analysis also occur, which informs training for the transition and base portion of the off-season.
From November through until spring, athletes train on Tuesday and Thursday, with the addition of multi-day training camps where appropriate. Athleticism, mobility and fundamental strength movements are the focus.
As spring approaches, athletes begin to transition to speed and athleticism-based training in the gym, along with more frequent high-intensity cardiovascular and strength-endurance training. Skills and tactics are tested and refined through consistent timed-training, more frequent use of video analysis, and with gap analysis.
As spring arrives, programming transitions from technique to competition tactics. Sessions are modified and scheduled according to race calandars and travel schedules, ensuring that athletes are improving throughout the spring and not simply maintaining or regressing.
Summer training sessions are adapted and aligned to accommodate travel and competition schedules. Dryland training remains a focal point of the program, with the focus shifting towards injury prevention and general maintenance to ensure that athletes can perform at the highest levels of competition, while also ensuring that plenty of opportunities remain for ongoing fitness and tactical improvements.

"I’ve been training with Joel for several years now, and I love his approach to training because he aims to make you a better rider and an all-around human/athlete. He covers all bases and keeps it fun in the process. If you’re starting racing or chasing down podiums, I highly recommend Blueprint."

When I started training towards my full potential, I tried to take training into my own hands through various internet sources, it was disconnected information drawing me further away from what I really wanted . I went in searching for something that could take me to the next level because I knew I had the ambition but didn’t have the knowledge. Training with Union Athletics has brought me to where I feel like I need to be, always progressing my fitness, my skills and my determination. It has a fun, but challenging functional training plan.

I haven't been working with Union Athletics for long, but from what I have experienced, the workouts, both on and off the bike, are comprehensive, complete, and seem to be working great. In only a few months, I've seen some major improvement in my fitness, strength and overall mobility. Joel and Jay are friendly guys who make you feel comfortable, and with whom you feel as a team working towards the same goals. I strongly recommend it!
