How are ATLAS and ATHENA Implemented?
ATLAS and ATHENA training usually occurs during the sport season within the team setting. The programs are student-athlete-(squad leader) led and performed in small groups of five to six athletes, referred to as squads. Both are coach-facilitated, highly scripted and interactive, with each session lasting 45 minutes. ATLAS involves 10 sessions, while ATHENA has 8 sessions. Both programs have five-session boosters for subsequent years.
