Feedback from volleyball players using the system in different competitive contexts.
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.”

Structured work. Progress you can see.
The goal is to improve how physical qualities are produced and applied on the court – not just chase gym numbers.
Individual results vary. Progress depends on training consistency, recovery, schedule, experience and individual response.
Built from more than 24 years inside volleyball.
I’m Daniel Maciel. I’ve played professional volleyball for more than 24 years across 20+ countries and I’m still competing at 38. I’m a Strength & Conditioning Coach with a Bachelor’s in Sports Science.
I’ve also lived through knee and shoulder surgeries, setbacks and long seasons. APS combines that real competitive experience with strength and conditioning principles to help volleyball players train with purpose.

Frequently asked questions.
Clear answers before you make a decision.
Yes. APS is designed for athletes with access to an equipped gym. Typical equipment includes barbells, dumbbells, cables, benches, resistance bands, medicine balls and weight plates.
The program offers up to five training days, but not every athlete needs to complete every session. Priority sessions and different weekly options help you fit the system around practices, matches and recovery.
Yes. APS is designed for both in-season and off-season athletes. You receive different options for important-match weeks, standard competition weeks and periods when you can train harder.
Yes. You can join at any time. Use the current instructions, select the option that matches your schedule and begin with appropriate loads.
No. APS develops physical qualities needed across volleyball positions, including force, power, jumping, movement, reactive ability and durability.
APS is a structured group training system, not a fully individualized 1:1 service. It includes training options, substitutions, group access and coach direction. Athletes who need fully individual programming should apply for 1:1 coaching.
A free workout or AI can give you exercises. APS gives you a coherent year-round structure: training blocks, progression, deloads, competition-week options, demonstrations, tracking and ongoing direction built specifically for volleyball.
You have access for as long as your subscription remains active. Billing is monthly and you can cancel without a long-term contract.
No responsible training program can guarantee a specific result. Progress depends on consistency, recovery, schedule, training history and individual response. APS provides the structure and progression; you still need to do the work.
Open APS and start your first session.
