What's in this template

Seasonal Planner Template

A seasonal planning template for coaches mapping athletes through a training block with individual focus areas. The max list captures each athlete by name, position, and focus, and the program auto-fills individual emphasis, so a sprinter and a lineman can run the same template with different priorities. Core lifts calculate off training maxes across 2, 3, and 4 day splits, with a pre-workout block built in. Designed for off-season and summer phases, when athletes often train on their own and programming has to hold up without daily supervision.

  • Athlete max list by name, position, and focus
  • Auto-filled individual focus per athlete
  • Percentage-based core lifts off training maxes

Questions

Frequently asked.

Are the Excel Training Designs templates really free?

Yes. Every Excel Training Designs (ETD) template that was previously paid is now 100% free to download — no trial, no credit card, and no subscription required.

What happened to Excel Training Designs?

TeamBuildr acquired Excel Training Designs (ETD). Founder Steve Olson's templates and the brand he built are now part of TeamBuildr's product family, and every template ETD previously sold is now free to download. Nothing was retired — the entire catalog was opened up.

What about the Excel Training Designs templates I bought in the past?

You keep them. Any Excel Training Designs templates you purchased in the past are still yours, and the free release applies to everything going forward.

What's the catch with free ETD templates?

There is no catch. TeamBuildr earns its revenue from coaching software, not from templates, so releasing the Excel Training Designs templates for free costs little. If a spreadsheet ever stops being enough, TeamBuildr is there — and if it's all you need, the templates are yours to keep.

Do I need a TeamBuildr account to download the templates?

No. You can download the Excel Training Designs files directly without an account. TeamBuildr also loads them into a free account so you can see the same programming running in software, but that step is optional.

Is founder Steve Olson still involved with ETD?

Steve Olson founded Excel Training Designs and built the templates still in use today. He remains associated with the brand, while the TeamBuildr team now runs the day-to-day.

What is TeamBuildr?

TeamBuildr is strength and conditioning software used by coaches from high schools to professional teams. It's cloud-based and mobile-first, built around the same max-based programming logic Excel Training Designs pioneered in spreadsheets.
