THE TRILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM.

major league baseball

It is estimated that over $700 Million was spent on the salaries of injured athletes in 2015.

National Hockey League

Over 50% of hockey players miss at least one game over the course of a season.

European soccer leagues

Injuries to Europe's top 5 soccer leagues resulted in a combined $800 Million financial loss in 2023-2024 alone.

National FOotball league

The NFL is arguably the hardest hit overall: it is estimated that the NFL loses upwards of $1 Billion. Every. Single. Year.

Injuries in professional sports aren’t just setbacks—they’re a trillion-dollar problem. Every year, leagues lose billions to sidelined athletes, skyrocketing medical costs, and wasted potential. This isn’t just about bad luck; it’s a systemic issue fueled by outdated models and illogical training. At Absolute Sport Science, we’re here to change that.

Adopt the Absolute Conjugate Strategy
or Watch Your Athletes Get Left Behind.

The Absolute Conjugate Strategy is the ultimate system for athlete management, whether you are a performance therapist or strength coach.

Step 1: Establish Point A.

We know the current physical state of the athlete by establishing Point A. This is established through two specific means: 

  1.  Physical assessment of the athlete (via Functional Range Assessment), 
  2. Utilizing the athlete’s current training as a feedback mechanism to understand their current strength capacities, or lack thereof.
It is only when the information from these two separate means are synthesized together that the programmer can establish the all important Point A of the athlete. 
 
Any programming done from an incomplete Point A will be suboptimal at best and results in an incomplete roadmap for training.

Step 2: Determine Point B.

Point B is the optimal physical state the athlete must have achieved in order to ensure success in sport. The four fundamental capacities of Point B are:

  1.  A necessary high level of joint function,
  2. Having a required absolute strength capacity, 
  3. A high level of speed strength, 
  4. The ability to generate a necessary level of reactive strength.
All of these capacities are specifically trainable – meaning they are completely dependent and reliant on an appropriate input within treatment and training.

Step 3: Apply the Absolute Conjugate Strategy.

Now, having a clear understanding of the starting conditions and the end point, practitioners and coaches have given themselves an opportunity to create the roadmap from Point A to Point B. The Absolute Conjugate Strategy is that roadmap. 

The Absolute Conjugate Strategy involves successfully introducing specific training work which has a progressively more stimulating effect. By coupling inputs sequentially in time and over time,  this elicits cumulative multifaceted training effects of both the biological and neurological systems. 

By following the Absolute Conjugate Strategy’s simple heuristics, practitioners and coaches will be able to program with both competency and confidence, even with athlete’s at the highest levels.

Why Absolute Sport Science?

My name is Matt Peragine and I am an Assistant Athletic Trainer with Penn State Football. I am FRC, FRA, FRISM and FR certified. Absolute has been a tremendously valuable resource for me as someone who has trained within the FRS system as Absolute provides great content to strengthen my understanding of the system as well as eliminate a lot of noise that can be found regarding what to read to better improve myself. Absolute provides great case studies, discussion and articles to improve my skills and understanding of the system and how to implement it effectively. I also appreciate the consistency of 2 topics per week that are concise but powerful reads in my busy time with a Division 1 football team. Dr. Chivers and John have been tremendous resources for me and are very accessible and available to ask questions and get advice. Absolute is a must have for anyone looking to enhance their skills whether you lean more towards the clinic or more towards the strength training side of patient management. Thank you to everyone at the Absolute Team!

Absolute is bridging the gap between my work as a manual therapist and a S&C coach. I use the Absolute Strategy as a roadmap for optimizing both my own and my clients sport performance and overall health. I fully support this holistic approach and appreciate the honest & critical way of thinking. Keep up the good work!
Tijmen Coemans
Manual Therapist
Absolute has been an incredible resource for deepening my understanding of the science behind training and rehabilitation. It has helped me refine how I apply the right training inputs at the right times and in the right dosages with my athletes. Additionally, Absolute has been instrumental in bridging the gap between internal and external training, enabling me to better program for the optimization of emergent behaviors.
Miguel Sousa
Director of Sports Performance
As a sports performance therapist and a founding member of Absolute: The Art and Science of Human Performance, I have relied on its wealth of knowledge from day one. Regularly engaging with Absolute’s in-depth articles and live member discussions has been instrumental in elevating my practice. By applying these cutting-edge insights with my clients and athletes, I have significantly improved my assessment accuracy, refined my clinical thought processes, and achieved greater success in managing sports-related injuries. The newsletter delivers research-driven strategies for optimizing athletes’ progressive adaptability, incorporating principles from mechanobiology, neuromuscular adaptation, and myofascial behavior within advanced strength training model. It examines the structural and neurological factors influencing joints workspace, movement efficiency, force transmission, and tissue resilience, providing an in-depth, analytical perspective on these key aspects of human performance. For coaches, clinicians, and athletes committed to optimizing human performance, Absolute is an essential resource—one that redefines how we approach strength training, rehabilitation, and tissue health at the highest level.

Manual Therapist, Effective Motus Sports Therapy Clinic
I discovered Absolute through the FRS system, where I came across John Quint and Michael Chivers. The information I was missing from the FRS seminars, I found on Absolute. I like that it’s a combination of everything—the guys cover the internal model, but also external training, include footage from the clinic, comment on current issues in professional leagues, and much more. I would recommend Absolute to anyone who wants to learn from the very best and be part of a great community!
Marek Folkman
Owner, Bazgear Gym
Becoming a Founding Member to Absolute has been the best investment I’ve made since entering the performance field. The Absolute Conjugate Strategy’s use of weekly heuristics redefined the way I approach training for the optimal physical state - Point B - with my athletes. John and Michael have an unbelievable ability to take complex topics in the performance field and deliver information that is easy to digest and implement with athletes. I’ve never looked forward to Tuesday and Sunday more!
Adrian Guardado

I first got to know Dr. Chivers and John Quint from Functional Range Systems. I took my first seminar in 2018 and kept learning from them since. So, it wasn't a hard decision to subscribe to Absolute when they started it 2 years ago. Being a strength coach and manual therapist, the knowledge - in conjunction with the Conjugate Method - they bring to the table has helped me tremendously in enhancing my approach towards my clients and athletes as much as with myself. Absolute has been great since day 1 and has only improved since!
Etienne Lajeunesse
Nxt Generation Physiotherapy
As a huge sports fan, strength coach, and performance enthusiast, Absolute has been one of the cornerstones of everything to do with that world. In a S&C landscape that relies too much on tradition and doing certain things “because they have always been done” a certain way, Absolute provides a breath of fresh air in both the analysis of injuries, as well as the possible solutions that can be applied in the sports world. It’s an industry I hope to one day get an opportunity to crack through myself, and it is great to see it already being done at such a high level in this platform!

Frequently asked questions

How long until I can implement the Absolute Conjugate Strategy?

The intention is for the practitioner to implement components of the Absolute Conjugate Strategy immediately. By following the simple heuristics provided, practitioners and coaches will see how simple and effective the strategy can be.

Do the training programs come with management from Absolute?

The tissue specific training programs hosted on Bridge Athletic do not come 1:1 management. They are created to follow a plug-and-play model. If you’re looking for more 1:1 support, please submit a form via the Elite Athlete Consultation page.

How many hours a week will I need to spend on the learning module?

It depends on your previous experience with the course material. We recommend budgeting for 4-5 hours per week for the entire duration of the course. Some weeks, the material will be easier to consume and get ahead; others, will take longer. We’ve designed this system to remove as much cognitive load from the practitioner as possible.

Can a brand new coach or practitioner take the learning module?

Certainly! It is true that coaches and practitioners who are familiar with the material will likely have a better understanding overall; however, we believe there is something to be said about jumping into the deep end and learning properly the first time. We have provided a library of recommended books and educational videos to get you up to speed.

Do I get 1:1 access with the instructors through the learning module?

All instructors will be active in the community. However, if you are looking for more direct support, please book a call using the form provided on the Book a Consultation page.

Is the learning module for a strength coach or performance therapist?

Both strength coaches and performance therapists (chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, etc) will benefit equally and are invited to take the course.
