Jump Higher. Move Faster. Build Strength That Actually Shows Up on the Volleyball Court.
You don’t need more random exercises. You need to know what to train, how much, and when, so the strength and power you build in the gym actually show up when you jump, block, attack and move on the court.
APS gives you the year-round system: strength, power, jumping, speed and robustness structured around practices, matches and recovery.
No random workouts. No guessing. Train for the court, not just the weight room.

You’re putting in the work. But you’re still not sure if your training is making you a better volleyball player.
You lift. You jump. You save workouts. You try programs from the internet. But the same questions keep coming back:
Am I training the right qualities? Why am I stronger but not noticeably better on court? How do I fit lifting around practices and matches without feeling heavy or beat up?
Strength without transfer
Your gym numbers improve, but your jump, movement, blocking or hitting do not change the way you expected.
Random training
You collect exercises but still do not know the right dose, order, progression or how they fit together.
Training that fights your season
You push too hard near matches, feel heavy, or stop strength work completely because you do not know how to adjust it.
More effort is not the same as better preparation. The problem is often not a lack of exercises. It is having no clear system for the selection, dose, sequence and progression of the work you are already doing.
Strength is only useful when it transfers.
Volleyball does not reward the athlete with the biggest gym numbers. It rewards the athlete who can express force quickly, jump, move, land, recover and repeat explosive actions on the court.
APS connects those qualities instead of treating them like unrelated workouts.
Strength & Power
Build the force base and learn to express it explosively.
Jump & Reactive Strength
Develop explosive actions through structured plyometric and RFD work.
Sprint & Movement
Train acceleration and speed qualities that support movement on court.
Robustness
Include mobility, stability and targeted work for shoulders, knees, ankles, hips and trunk.
I used to think training harder was the answer too.
I’ve spent more than 24 years inside volleyball. For years I trained hard, built muscle and did what I thought an athlete was supposed to do. But effort alone did not guarantee better transfer to the court or a body prepared for a full season.
After knee surgery in 2014, later shoulder surgery and other injuries throughout my career, I learned that training has to be selected, dosed, sequenced and integrated around volleyball.
More work was not the solution.
I stopped judging training by how hard the workout felt and started judging it by what it allowed me to express on court: force, power, speed, jumping, movement and availability.
A year-round system built around volleyball.
APS organizes strength, power, sprinting, jumping, reactive work, mobility, stability and robustness around practices, matches and recovery, instead of treating every week the same.
At 38, I still use this approach to prepare my own body. APS is not a collection of workouts created only for customers. It is the system I apply as both a player and a coach.

Don’t just get stronger. Feel the difference when you play.
APS is used by volleyball players from more than 40 countries. The strongest proof is not a bigger gym number by itself – it is when athletes feel the transfer in jumping, blocking, attacking and moving.
Angus Lam
“Now I can fully utilize my jump and spiking power.”
Vasco
“I’m jumping higher and spiking harder.”
Philipp Henke
“I’m doing things I didn’t think I was capable of.”
Terzic
“It helped me seeing how much different I can be when I am actually very well prepared for the season.”
Alessandro
“I felt quicker on blocking the ball. My spikes were faster and very, very powerful. I was faster than ever and I was jumping higher.”
Not random highlights. Structured work over time.
The goal is not only to lift more weight. It is to develop physical qualities you can express more efficiently when you jump, block, attack and move on court.
Individual results vary. Progress depends on training consistency, recovery, schedule, training history and individual response.
Stop walking into the gym wondering what to do next.

I’m Daniel Maciel - professional volleyball player & volleyball strength coach.
I’m a Brazilian professional opposite with 24+ years in volleyball and experience playing across approximately 20+ countries. I hold a Bachelor in Sport Science and I’ve worked with volleyball players in more than 40 countries.
I’m also an Italian Champion and French Champion. At 37, I recorded an official 3.65 m spike reach in Italy.
I do not coach volleyball performance from the outside. I still train, jump and compete and I use the same principles inside APS to prepare my own body.
