The foundation of high school athletic performance and injury prevention begins with the development of stability, strength and flexibility across all joints and throughout an athlete's movement patterns. It is our goal to provide our athletes with a strength training program that is reflective of age, gender, sport, medical history and training experience.
Our strength training program will emphasize:
- Balance and Proprioception
- Core Stability and Strength
- Joint Specific Stability and Mobility
- Muscular Strength and Power
Speed and Agility Development:
Speed, a measure of how fast an athlete can sprint short distances, will be trained and enhanced
as a consistent part of a well-rounded training program. Agility (directional change) occurs in all
planes of motion: side-to-side, forward-to-backward, backward-to-forward, 45°, 90°, 180°, 360°
and every ° and direction in between. An athlete trained to make a quick and efficient directional
change will improve in all phases of sport performance. Our speed and agility development will
emphasize:
- Dynamic Flexibility
- Linear Speed Development
- Multi-Directional Agility
- Foot Speed
