If you play volleyball, you already felt this:
- You get blocked when you shouldn’t
- You’re always a step late in the air
- You feel like your body just stagnated
and deep down, you know you are capable of performing at a much higher level
Most players think they need to train more.
More jumps, more gym, more sessions. That’s exactly why they stay stuck, because the problem isn’t how much you train. The problem is your body can’t transfer it.
This training is focused on one thing:
I built a system focused on one thing:
Building a body that actually expresses power on the court. Not just strength, not just jumps. Real transfer to performance. That’s the Armored Player System.
At 37 years old, I reached a 43-inch vertical.
Training only 3 times per week, not because I trained more, because I trained the right way.
This is my most recent official jump test I did with my team, Cuneo Volley, during the 2025 season in Italy.
This is what happens when your body finally works the way it should.
Competitive athletes worldwide using APS consistently report: higher jumps, less pain, more confidence and consistent performance across the season
Angus Lam – Hong Kong
Couldn’t fully use his vertical jump. Now he can apply his strength in-game. “Now I can fully utilize my jump and spiking power.”
Vasco – Portugal
Back on court feeling stronger, faster, more explosive. Higher jump, Harder spikes, real performance gains. “I’m jumping higher and spiking harder”
Philipp Henke – Germany
Didn’t know how to train or improve performance. Now: Faster, jumping higher, hitting harder. “I’m doing things I didn’t think I was capable of.”
Who is Daniel Maciel
I’m a professional volleyball player with over 24 years in the game.
I’ve played professionally in more than 20 countries and worked with athletes from 40+ countries. This didn’t come easy.
I’ve been through two surgeries, I’ve lost performance, I’ve had to rebuild my body more than once and I learned the hard way.
I’ve tested everything, different training methods, different strength programs, different jump protocols
Some worked, but most didn’t.
Over time, I stopped following systems and started building my own. A way to train that actually transfers to the court, protects the body and keeps performance consistent
Today, I work as a strength & conditioning coach, helping volleyball players improve how they actually perform in real matches and at 37, I’m still performing at a high level at 37. Not because I train more, because my body finally works the way it should.
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
This is a system designed to:
- Build more strength and actually use it on the court
- Make your jump more efficient and explosive
- Allow you to perform without constant fatigue

Background in sport science & performance training
At 37, I’m still performing at a high level and recently hit a 3.65m (Aprox 12ft) vertical reach.
Not by training harder alone, by training the right way.
