About Vulpes Athletics
Introduction
Vulpes Athletics is built on a simple idea:
long-term athletic performance requires structure, patience, and disciplined execution.
​
The goal is not short-term optimization, constant novelty, or motivation-based training, but sustainable progress developed over time through intelligent planning and consistent work.
Coaching Philosophy
Vulpes Athletics follows a system-driven approach to strength and conditioning.
​
The coaching philosophy prioritizes:
-
Intelligent planning over intensity
-
Consistency over variety
-
Long-term development over short-term outcomes
​
Training decisions are guided by structure, progression, and athlete response, rather than trends, hype, or arbitrary changes.
​
This approach is designed for athletes who want to understand their training, execute with intent, and develop qualities that last.
A Structured Approach to Performance
Rather than treating training as a collection of workouts, Vulpes Athletics treats it as a long-term process.
​
Training is organized into structured phases, adapted to the athlete’s sport, schedule, and constraints, and adjusted over time based on execution and outcomes.
​
The focus is on building performance qualities that support durability and progression:
- Speed
-
Strength
-
Work capacity
-
Resilience
​
This structure allows athletes to train consistently without unnecessary fatigue or stagnation.
The Coach Behind the System
Vulpes Athletics was created and is coached by Bram Houttuin, a strength and conditioning coach focused on long-term athletic development.
​
My approach to coaching has been shaped by working with athletes who have different sports, schedules, and constraints, but a common goal: improving performance.
​
Over time, this led to a clear conclusion - effective training is rarely about doing more.
It is about applying the right structure, progressing deliberately, and adjusting intelligently based on response.
​
Vulpes Athletics exists to apply that system consistently and without compromise.
