This certification is designed for qualified strength and conditioning coaches, sport performance practitioners, and allied professionals who want greater precision in how they develop athletic power.
Rather than focusing only on peak output, the Evans Velo Zone™ system teaches coaches how to evaluate power retention, transfer quality, and re-expression patterns under fatigue and load shift.
Participants learn how to:
• Diagnose where usable power breaks down
• Distinguish retention vs. transfer limitations
• Apply velocity and output data to guide programming decisions
• Design training waves that produce durable, repeatable performance
This is not a surface level velocity course. It is a structured decision-making framework for building power that holds up across sessions, phases, and competition demands.
Throughout the certification, participants will work through structured learning modules that blend theory, practical application, and reflection. By the end of the program, you will be able to:
• Apply the EVANS VELO ZONE™ metric hierarchy to real-world programming
• Diagnose retention drop-off and transfer inefficiencies
• Use output trends to guide wave-based training decisions
• Distinguish peak expression from durable power
• Design systems that prioritize repeatability over single-session highs
• Communicate performance diagnostics with clarity and authority
The EVZ Wave™ is the signature diagnostic model taught exclusively inside the certification.
You will learn how to:
• Construct a proper wave sequence
• Identify retention instability
• Interpret re-expression breakdown
• Distinguish force ceilings from retention decay
• Apply wave findings to programming decisions
The Wave is not just a test, but a coaching lens.
Certified practitioners are trained to apply the Wave as a structured diagnostic tool — not a performance gimmick.
This is the core method separating EVZ practitioners from traditional velocity-based training models.

The focus is on giving you tools that are clear, repeatable, and immediately applicable in the environments you coach within.
Graduates receive priority access to the Evans Velo Zone™ App for applied diagnostics.
"THE POWER PLAYBOOK: Practitioner Field Manual by Steve Evans Jr. is a practical, output-focused guide for coaches and athletes committed to training power through a structured and logical training system. Written in a clear and accessible manner, the book explains power-oriented performance enhancement concepts while emphasizing the relationship between speed and velocity supported by precise tracking and fatigue management. All in all, it’s a worthwhile read for anyone serious about thoughtful power development."

This certification is intended for qualified performance and strength professionals who currently work with athletes or athletic populations. Examples include:
• Certified Strength & Conditioning Coaches (CSCS or equivalent)
• Performance Coaches and Practitioners
• Sports Scientists
• Athletic Development Staff
• High-Performance and Return-to-Play Practitioners
This certification is not designed for hobbyists, fitness enthusiasts, or general personal trainers without a recognized strength and conditioning credential. The content assumes a professional foundation in athletic development principles.
Certification enrollment includes full access to course modules, guided learning resources, assessment materials, and certification recognition upon successful completion. Group and team enrollment options may be available for organizations looking to certify multiple staff members. Final pricing details will be confirmed prior to registration.
The certification runs in scheduled cohorts to ensure high-quality interaction and support. Participants will receive onboarding materials and access instructions prior to the cohort start date. Early registration is recommended as spaces may be limited.
EVANS VELO ZONE™ is an educational framework and does not replace individualized medical or therapeutic guidance.
