The HPG Performance System Vision becomes allocation. Allocation becomes proof.

Marc Theiler's accountability method

Make the calendar tell the truth.

Ambition becomes credible when your hours, repetitions, recovery, and weekly evidence point toward the same destination.

Field aid 01 / The Quad

Name the desire. Give each hour a purpose.

The planning baseline is 24 hours: eight for sleep and sixteen waking hours, arranged as four four-hour quadrants. Each quadrant names a primary desire or outcome. Its four numbered lines describe the hourly actions that serve it.

A desire may occupy two or three quadrants. An aspiring hockey player might write "Become a professional hockey player" in Quadrants I and II, then assign purposeful actions to those hours. Other quadrants can serve family, school, health, or another chosen outcome. Adapt the allocation to your responsibilities, sleep needs, and recovery; time devoted to a craft is not continuous intense training.

The standard beneath the system

Carry your Personal Code into the calendar.

Vision defines the destination. Your code defines the conduct you intend to practice on the way. Choose one conviction, find evidence, name a gap, and schedule a useful correction. Review it alongside your weekly results.

Your schedule should respect health, recovery, family, work, and current capacity. The Quad is a planning framework, not a prescription for eight hours of physical training.

Build your code and read the coaching philosophy

The doctrine

Desire is not yet a system.

The Vision establishes direction. The Big Five names the work. The Quad allocates the waking day. Daily Proof records what happened. The Weekly Reckoning turns evidence into correction.

A goal that never reaches the calendar remains fantasy. A calendar that is never reviewed becomes theater. HPG closes the distance between the man you intend to become and the work you can prove.

  1. 01

    Vision

    Define the long, middle, and near horizon with enough precision that the destination can govern today's choices.

  2. 02

    Big Five

    Name the five repeated disciplines with the strongest causal relationship to the outcome.

  3. 03

    The Quad

    Name a primary desire in each four-hour quadrant. Give its hourly actions a visible claim on the day.

  4. 04

    Daily Proof

    Plan in half-hour increments. Record the actual. Link each meaningful block to the goal it served.

  5. 05

    Weekly Reckoning

    Compare stated activity with reality, score the week, and make one deliberate correction.

Performance pathways

Your arena changes the work.

The governing method remains constant. Select the arena that best describes your present season.

Development season

Earn the level before asking for the title.

Build the technical proof, physical base, competitive judgment, and personal reliability that make the next opportunity rational.

The mandate

The craft must own a serious share of discretionary development time without using ambition as an excuse to neglect school, health, or family obligations.

Example Big Five

  1. Deliberate skill repetitions
  2. Strength, speed, and capacity
  3. Practice or competition
  4. Film and tactical study
  5. Sleep and recovery standard

HPG curriculum

Identity and process goals, coachability, technical development, food-first nutrition, recovery, pressure skills, exposure decisions, and the transition from prospect to professional habits.

The athlete standard

Food first. Evidence next. Hype last.

The athlete does not need another pile of tricks. He needs a governed performance system that protects the fundamentals and tests every addition against evidence, safety, eligibility, and actual response.

01

Craft

Technical repetitions, tactical understanding, decision speed, competitive exposure, and feedback from qualified coaches.

02

Physical capacity

Strength, power, speed, mobility, conditioning, and load matched to the sport, position, age, and season.

03

Recovery

Sleep, fueling, hydration, pain and injury management, travel strategy, and the discipline to adapt when readiness changes.

04

Performance mind

Process goals, imagery, useful self-talk, arousal control, attention resets, routines, and honest post-performance review.

05

Nutrition

Sufficient energy, protein, carbohydrate, micronutrient variety, and practical timing before any supplement enters the conversation.

06

Experimentation

One clear question, a safe and permitted intervention, a measure that matters, and a stop rule. Novelty is not evidence.

The performance experiment gate

Six questions before you add anything.

  1. Baseline: Are sleep, food, hydration, training, and recovery already consistent?
  2. Purpose: What exact problem is this intended to solve?
  3. Evidence: Does credible research support this use, dose, and population?
  4. Safety: Has a qualified sports medicine or sports nutrition professional reviewed it?
  5. Permission: Is it permitted under the rules that govern your sport right now?
  6. Proof: What will you measure, and what result will make you stop?

Athlete safety boundary. HPG does not diagnose, prescribe, clear supplements, or replace a qualified coach, physician, athletic trainer, psychologist, or sports dietitian.

01

Self-knowledge before direction

The Vision

Before deciding where to go, make room to understand yourself. What am I? Who do I want to become? What do I really want, and why? Give these questions time. Your vision belongs to you.

Optional clarity reflection, when you are ready

02

Priority

The Big Five

Choose five repeatable disciplines that matter most. Check each day only when the promised standard was actually met.

Priority disciplineMTWTFSS

No completion marks recorded0 of 5 disciplines named

A check records that you met your stated standard. An unchecked box is unrecorded, not proof of failure: it may be a future day, planned rest or a missed entry. This count is not a success rate. Review the circumstances in your Weekly Reckoning rather than filling gaps from memory as fact.

03

Desire into action

The Quad

Name the primary desire or outcome each quadrant serves, then plan the actions hour by hour. Repeat a desire across quadrants when that reflects your priorities. The eight-hour sleep and sixteen-hour waking framework is a planning baseline, not a reason to neglect sleep, health, or responsibilities.

8 of 16 hours directly serve the primary objective. Marc's serious-aspiration benchmark begins at two Quads where the season and obligations permit.

04

Execution

Daily Proof

Plan the day in half-hour increments. Then record the actual without revising history. The distance between the two is instruction.

Learn, then choose

Weekly Reckoning

Give the week an honest review. Notice what helped, where intention and reality separated, and what you want to try next. The purpose is a useful adjustment, not a verdict on your worth.

Not assessed

If a number helps, choose 1-10 using your own stated criteria and explain the evidence in your reflection. This is your estimate, not a measured performance result. Earlier drafts may contain the old starting value of 5; review it before treating it as a deliberate assessment. You can choose Not assessed without losing the rest of your review.

The governing purpose

“The more you advance, the more you have an obligation to give back.”

Capability should make a man more useful. It should increase the quality of what he can build, the steadiness he brings to those he loves, and the value he can return to the men coming behind him.
