How many years are you willing to lose guessing how to jump higher?

How many years are you willing to lose guessing how to jump higher?

Most volleyball players don’t fail because they don’t train hard. They fail because they train without a system.

APS is not a workout plan. It’s a volleyball-specific performance system designed to turn strength into jump performance, consistently, across the season.

But before we talk about the strength, we need to talk about how the body actually uses strength.

The real cost isn’t APS. The real cost is training without structure.

Every season without a system costs you:

  • Lost vertical that never transfers to the court

  • Chronic knee or back pain

  • Money spent on programs that didn’t work

  • Confidence slowly disappearing

Most athletes don’t quit volleyball because of lack of talent. They quit because their body stops responding.

APS was built to stop that cycle.

Most athletes don’t quit volleyball because of lack of talent. They quit because their body stops responding.

APS was built to stop that cycle.

Two athletes can be equally strong. Only one jumps higher.

The difference isn’t effort.
It isn’t talent.

One athlete’s body allows power to pass through.
The other applies the brakes.

Most training increases force.
Very little training teaches the body how to release it.

That’s why athletes get stronger,
but their vertical stays locked.

 

Two athletes can be equally strong. Only one jumps higher.

The difference isn’t muscle. It’s how the body absorbs, organizes, and releases force.

When your body doesn’t feel safe under load, it applies the brakes and when the brakes are on, your vertical stays locked, no matter how much you squat.

Efficient athletes:

✅ Absorb force quickly
✅ Organize joints and tissues under load
✅ Transfer force instead of leaking it
✅ Express power without unnecessary tension

Inefficient athletes:

✅ Lose force during transitions
✅ Rely on brute strength
✅ Overload joints
✅ Plateau or get injured

The problem isn’t effort.
It’s how training is structured

Because performance isn’t something you buy. It’s something you maintain.

Physical preparation doesn’t work like a finished product. It works through adaptation.

You train, the body adapts.

What adapts isn’t just strength, it’s the body’s ability to absorb, organize, and transfer force efficiently.

That ability is what allows power to pass through the body instead of being lost at the joints.

When it’s present, jumps feel elastic and efficient.
When it’s not, the body applies the brakes.

The problem is: this ability is not permanentIf the stimulus stops, or stops evolving, force transfer degrades.

That’s a basic training principle: reversibilityMost training programs treat force transfer as a phase.

They train it briefly, then move on. APS treats force transfer as a capacity to be maintained.

Programs aim for short-term peaks, APS manages the ability to express force across the season.

Programs end, APS adapts as the athlete adapts.

Who APS is for

APS is for:

Competitive volleyball players
Any position
In-season or off-season
Athletes tired of pain, plateaus, and guessing

APS is NOT for:

People looking for quick hacks
Athletes who want random workouts
Anyone who trains without intention

If you want structure, progression, and control, keep reading.

APS wasn’t built from theory. It was built from mistakes.

My name is Daniel Maciel.

I’ve played professional volleyball for over 24 years, in more than 20 countries, and worked with athletes from 40+ countries.

But APS wasn’t born from success.
It was built after:

  • Surgeries
  • Injuries
  • Plateaus
  • Burnout
  • Years of training hard without seeing real transfer

I learned the hard way that strength without structure destroys performance.

Today, at 37, I’m stronger, jumping higher, more explosive, and more resilient than I was in my 20s, not by accident, but by systematic preparation.

APS is the system I use myself.

Inside APS you get:

  • 3-4 volleyball-specific strength sessions per week

  • Sessions lasting 60-90 minutes

  • Structured strength & power blocks

  • New training phases every 4 weeks

  • Load tracking inside the app

  • Exercise demo videos

  • Exercises technique feedback corrections

  • Direct support Monday to Friday

  • Private group with competitive athletes

This is not a one-week spike.
It’s a system built for consistency.

Used by competitive athletes worldwide

Athletes using APS consistently report: higher jumps, less pain, more confidence and consistent performance across the season

Angus Lam

Philipp Henke
Germany
“I’ve been able to hit harder, I’ve been able to jump higher”

Peyman Karimi

“Before I had a lot of problems with my knees and with my lower back… the pain is almost gone. I played with braces and had some injections every year… I don’t need them anymore.”

Arnoldo – Atleta VS
“Eu senti que tive uma melhora significativa na minha impulsão e na defesa, principalmente nos movimentos laterais.”

Matheus Gaviolli – Atleta VS

Gabriel Paiva – Atleta VS
“Com o VS, eu consegui me destacar muito mais, evoluir meu nível de jogo e conquistar uma vaga numa nova equipe.”

For all positions!

You’re not paying for exercises.

You’re paying for:

  • Structure instead of guessing

  • Progression instead of plateaus

  • Control instead of fear

  • A system that works across the season

APS answers the question most athletes never solve:

How do I consistently turn strength into jump performance?

No random cycles.
No wasted seasons.
Just a system built to transfer.

Real Athletes, real jumps, real progress.

They didn’t just get stronger. They became more efficient at takeoff.

That’s the difference between training muscles and training the jump system.

You are not looking at talent, you are looking at structure
