The Edge Protocol — Pilot Program
We are currently accepting a limited pilot group. Here is what that means for your player.
Apply for the Founding Cohort →What This Is
The founding cohort of The Edge Protocol is a structured, bounded engagement for hockey players in Minneapolis-St. Paul, designed to:
This is not a discounted version of the program. It is the same individualized coaching methodology — with more direct founder access, more documentation, and investment terms that will not be offered after the first cohort.
Before opening the program at full scale, we are working with a small group of committed players to document outcomes, build case studies, and prove the benchmarks. Founding families get more direct access. We get documented results.
When the founding cohort fills, the next group enters the standard program at the full rate. There is no guarantee a founding spot will be available if you wait.
Founding Cohort Format
Submit the 5-minute application. We review within 48 hours.
Full edge mechanics evaluation — every deficiency mapped, individual roadmap built.
12 sessions over 8–10 weeks. Video-documented. Position-specific.
Post-program summary, measurable benchmarks, next-phase recommendations.
What We Ask of Founding Families
The founding cohort model works because the documentation becomes proof — for the next family evaluating the program, and for the development of the full-scale launch. We ask two things in exchange for founding access:
A 2–3 sentence written testimonial at program completion, for use on the website and social content. No specific outcome is guaranteed — we ask for an honest account of the experience.
Permission to use anonymized session footage for educational content. Player-optional — faces can be omitted. We will never identify your player without explicit consent.
Both asks are structured so that you retain full control. Nothing is shared publicly without your sign-off. The testimonial request comes at program completion, after you have seen the results.
