Football.
Pro · Youth · Lifestyle. The whole cell.

Four load patterns that stack uniquely — alactic power × repeated, position polarity (a nose tackle and a receiver share nothing), collision injury epidemiology (concussion + ACL + hamstring + ankle syndesmosis), and youth-LTAD load that is the highest-risk training context in mainstream youth sport. Programming respects all four or it under-serves both ends of the bell curve. This page is the cell — bucket × position × adaptation — parsed fractally.

Pro football inherits from the mature Wave-1 strength/power/RTS catalog. Concussion BCTT + VOMS + cervico-ocular work · ACL 5-phase post-op · hamstring/ankle RTS · spine return-to-contact loading · max-strength Westside conjugate · max-power DUP. Position-specific entries (QB throwing, OL/DL leverage, WR/DB acceleration) are the gap layer.

Bucket 02 Youth · football 0 specific · 8 LTAD-generic · operational warmth from 2026-05 camp

Fresh from Adham's 2026-05 youth football camp. The cell is warm with field observation. LTAD strength + growth-plate-aware load + concussion protocols are present generically. HS-football-specific speed/strength/heat-acclimation work needs to land here.

Bucket 03 Lifestyle · football 0 specific · ~12 generic-tagged · underserved

Lifestyle football is touch-and-flag rec leagues, retired-player joint care, and post-college rec play. The retired-player population is sizable and underserved. Generic max-strength + plyo + concurrent-training cover; football-specific lifestyle work doesn't yet exist.
