Align with meaning and purpose.
Don’t choose between healing and performing. The Explosive Foundation will improve your performance AND reduce your pain, guaranteed, or it’s free*. No questions asked.
You practice. Lift weights. Do plyometrics. You made gains BUT at what cost?
Now you have jumper's knee, ankle injuries, or some other issues.
You do mobility routines and physiotherapy for the symptoms. That “kinda works” but doesn’t — and the pain returns.
You’re told to manage your volume. Keep lifting, just less. Do isometrics. Take a break from playing.
Then you play again, and it flares up the first day back. It’s frustrating.
elite volleyball players have patellar tendinopathy.
basketball players experience the same issue.
This is not normal, or “just part of being an athlete.” This is major damage to our tendons from a young age. This road eventually leads to surgery, injections, and joint replacements.
This is the path most athletes end up on. I was on it too — I know how it feels. Back pain was crippling and left me in a dark place.
I’m not talking about bulletproofing your joints. It’s not just a physical foundation. It’s a structural and neurological one.
Most strength coaches base their programs on the NBA player — the top 1% genetic anomaly who can handle that type of load. They have the foundation already. They’re literally built different.
When we try to emulate these athletes, we get hurt. This was me over and over during my college and pro career. After my back injury on Christmas break during my season overseas, I had to find another way. It was my career on the line — I had to rebuild from the ground up.
Now I’m helping my brothers and sisters do the same, because everyone should be able to play the sport they love without suffering from chronic pain. Especially when we’re young.
So I called my program the Explosive Foundation, and if you’re still reading this, it’s for you. You’re the athlete I mentioned at the beginning.
Fill out the form and book a call. If it’s a good fit, we can continue. If not, I’ll give you a personalized strategy and wish you well.

My name’s Alain. I run Truthful Training, a mentorship program where competitive athletes can reach a higher level of performance without sacrificing their health and longevity. I created the Explosive Foundation as a 12-week base camp for my friends and family who are suffering from chronic injury and joint pain. My intention is to be the mentor that my former self needed, to accelerate and enrich the lives of my students and community.
Real stories from athletes and active people who used The Explosive Foundation to reduce pain, restore movement, and unlock better performance.
Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and custom orthotics. After 6 weeks, Mark walked 72km in 4 days on vacation with zero pain — without orthotics.
Back pain, shoulder pain, and PCL injury. Alex found pain relief while jumping higher and spiking harder.
USA Beach Volleyball Olympian using part of The Explosive Foundation training to improve foot function and athletic connection.
Miles shares how foot function, body awareness, and connection through the feet influence training and game-day performance.
Elite performance starts with connection. These quotes highlight why foot function, body awareness, and nervous system integration matter for explosive athletes.
“It just makes logical sense to build yourself from the ground up.”
“If your feet aren’t doing any work, the chain isn’t properly linked together.”
“Days where I feel connected through my feet, those were always my best game and training days.”
“When my feet are asleep, so is my body and mind.”
“I can feel the difference 100% in my feet after training. They feel fatigued.”
“I think this training is great for younger athletes especially, so they can learn body awareness.”
Posted on Google Grace WebsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alain is an engaging, friendly coach who really understands how to relate to youth athletes. He strives to bring young athletes to their highest potential and you can really see the passion he puts into his training programs!Posted on Google Robert ArmaniosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alain is an outstanding volleyball coach who creates a very positive and motivating environment for his players. He focuses not only on skills, but also on building mental and emotional stability in the kids. He encourages healthy habits and teaches valuable life techniques that will stay with them for years. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Brad GyemiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic facial training exercises. I use them regularly during training and beach volleyball tournaments. Great session Alain!Posted on Google Jack VoghtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alain is a great professional to consult with on fascial manoeuvres and integrating fascial tensegrity throughout one’s biomechanics. Does loads of research and has the most experience of someone I’ve encountered who has applied fascial techniques combined with sport training principles to generate gains in an athlete. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Antonio CocaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend for all athletes especially ones in volleyball. He looks at training differently than purely getting stronger with weight training. instead, he puts an emphasis on building your body from the ground up and building a foundation of making your body not only powerful but also built to last. Lots of other programs will purely get your vertical higher and make you hit harder, this program is more than that. Truthful Training will also do that but also ensure your body doesn’t crumble and fail while doing it like mine did and like lots of other athletes I’ve known too. He doesn't just blindly give you workouts to do he’ll get you to understand how what your doing works and he explained concepts to me that no other training program has even attempted to teach me. I would highly recommend trying this training program at least once especially for younger athletes that not only want to be taken to the next level but also be built to last.Posted on Google Joshua hawkesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With Alains help my pain was gone within a week. Before meeting with him I was unable to go for long runs without extreme shin pain and pain across the middle of my foot. His training is simple, yet effective. I grabbed a tennis ball and rolled over the painful areas before going on runs and it took immediate effect. He fixed my initial problems and even went a step further to discuss any other areas of discomfort, physically and even in my personal life, something he did not have to do, but did anyways. He went above and beyond for me and i truly believe he made me a better person along the way. Not to mention my pain is completely gone, and it never came back. He preaches simple values of consistency and effort. He’s easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable, i’ve recommended him to everyone i know. 10/10.Posted on Google Devon dileonardoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our experience with coach pinnault was unbelievable! He fosters a positive and safe environment. His communication is direct and avoids ambiguity.
