Play stronger.
Play longer.

Play stronger.

APS keeps your body ready for volleyball, year after year. Build strength, stay pain-free, and extend your prime far beyond what you thought possible. The same system I use to keep playing high level at 37, jumping higher than I did in my 20s.

Why most players feel stuck when they start believing they’re “too old” for volleyball.

“I’m not as athletic as I used to be.
"Volleyball isn’t for me anymore."
"I don’t have the time."
"I’ll never perform like before.”

These thoughts are what keep players grounded, not their age, but the belief that their best years are behind them.

You don’t need to retire your body. You need to rebuild it.

The Armored Player System.

The Armored Player System.

A proven training method designed for volleyball players who want to keep flying high, pain-free, and powerful, no matter the age.

APS Method

Daniel Maciel

Pro player at Cuneo Volley (Italy)
Physical Trainer

Born in Brazil, Daniel Maciel is a pro volleyball player, trainer, and Vball performance expert. At 37, he won the Italian championship and reached his highest attack touch ever, 3.65m, higher than in his youth.

Shoulder atrophy, spinal disc injuries, knee and shoulder surgeries, obstacles that end most careers. He came back. Stronger. Victorious.

That journey became Armored Player, a system applied in 37 countries, helping athletes jump higher, hit harder, and play longer.

With 23+ years on the court, experience in 20+ countries, and 150,000 followers worldwide, Daniel is living proof that peak performance has no age and success is trainable.

F.A.Q

Yes, many athletes come to this program with shoulder, knee, or back pain and feel noticeable relief in a few weeks.
But this is not a rehab protocol. If you’re recovering from surgery or in a post-op phase, follow your medical team’s guidance first.

Yes. You’ll need access to a gym or basic weight room. This isn’t bodyweight fitness, it’s a serious program to build real physical capacity.

Absolutely. The sessions are designed to complement your volleyball routine, not interfere with it. Many athletes do this during their season or off-season without issues.

Most athletes feel better within 2-3 weeks: less pain, more stability, smoother movement. Real transformation takes consistency, but results come fast when you follow the plan.

No. You need basic gym equipment to execute the exercises properly and get the full benefits. If you don’t have access yet, save this page and come back when you do.

Not at all. It’s for any volleyball player who takes the game seriously, whether you play amateur, semi-pro, or full pro. The intensity adapts, the method is the same.

You only need around 3-4 sessions per week, 45-70 minutes each. The structure is optimized for high performance with minimal waste. If you can’t commit to that, it’s probably not the right time.

No, this is a monthly subscription. As long as you’re subscribed, you get full access to all training, updates, and support. Cancel anytime.

Hundreds of athletes around the world are taken their game to a whole new level with the power of our intense specific approach. You can too.
