The Performance System for upland hunters

The Field will eventually find your limit

At 30, you bounce back.

At 40, you notice it.

At 50, you manage it.


Long days behind a good dog expose more than your shooting.

They expose:

• Your recovery

• Your load tolerance

• Your joints

• Your aerobic capacity

Most hunters don’t stop because they lose desire.
They stop because their body quietly limits them.

This system exists so that doesn’t happen.

How it works


1. Start With the Screening

Take the free Field Readiness Screening.

It shows where you may be strong and where you may be falling short.

You don’t need to guess anymore.

2. Measure Current Performance

The Field Performance Audit gives you real numbers on where you currently are physically.

Strength. Endurance. Carry capacity. Recovery.

Now you know exactly where you stand.


3. Build the Base

Follow a structured 12-week plan.

Build strength. Improve stamina. Increase durability.

This is where consistency starts.


4. Train With Guidance (Optional)

If you want feedback, accountability, and oversight,

move into coach-guided training or 1:1.

More precision. More support. More capable.

Ready to know where you stand?

season aware performance

Programs built around the hunting calendar.

The off-season is where you strengthen the foundation, joints, engine, and load tolerance, without rushing it.
Pre-season sharpens that foundation under more stress.
In-season shifts toward recovery and maintenance so the dog doesn’t outlast you.

The structure reflects the reality of uneven ground, long miles, and back-to-back mornings.

No trends, just what matters most to upland hunters

And seasons stacked the right way.

This is for:

  • Upland hunters who want longer, repeatable seasons
  • Hunters who are willing to train with structure
  • Men and women who care about durability, not just workouts
  • Those who want real proof of where they stand, not just guessing

This is not for:

  • Casual gym-goers looking for random workouts
  • Hunters unwilling to train consistently
  • Anyone looking for shortcuts
  • People who want motivation without discipline
Take the First step with your free screening

Whether it’s training or gear, everything here is built around the same ideas: durability, preparation, and respect for the field.

What if You Could Add More Days to Your Current Season and More Seasons to Your Lifetime

What if You Could Add More Days to Your Current Season and More Seasons to Your Lifetime

Every hunter knows the feeling. The dog still has energy. The cover still looks promising. But your legs are heavy, your hips tighten, and your pace slows. It’s not the terrain, it’s capacity. An...

How Much Does a Full Day of Upland Hunting Really Cost Your Body?

Most hunters think of a day in the field as walking.   It isn’t. It’s accumulated output. A typical upland hunt covers anywhere from 4 to 8 miles, often more if birds are moving or areas of cover...

Built by a coach who hunts

I’m Mackenzie , a performance coach with a B.S. in Kinesiology (Movement Science), an M.S. in Management, and over 13 years of coaching experience.

I’m also an upland hunter, husband, and father. Most of my time outside the gym is spent with my family or in the field with my bird dogs, Remi (Vizsla) and Moose (Vizsla × Weimaraner).

I built this system because training for the field requires more than general fitness. It requires preparation that respects the season, the terrain, and the long-term goal of staying capable year after year.
