“Adding in athletic performance training with a professional trainer has increased my overall confidence, skill level, and has me feeling stronger than any other average practice training ever has.”

Whether your athlete is looking to compete at the highest level or simply to get better at his/her sport, it takes a multi-faceted approach to reach athletic goals. It takes both skill work AND athletic development to allow for maximum results as a skilled athlete.
One set of training without the other can only get an athlete so far. Skill work, without focusing on athletic development as well, may improve the skills that the athlete is developing but those improvements will be limited. Increasing muscle development, coordination, balance, and power allow for the skill work to be fine-tuned more efficiently as the athlete’s body will improve, which will allow for an increase in mind-body connections.
While many teams have a part of their practice that has a strength and/or conditioning aspect to it, it cannot and should not replace a well-programmed athletic performance program. An athletic performance coach takes a look at your athlete and assesses his or her strengths and weaknesses, and gives them personalized training. This gives them a program that allows your athlete to continue to get stronger but also allows them to improve areas they are weak in; giving them additional risk injury prevention and as well as athletic improvement.
Absolutely!
Our athletic performance program focuses not only on strength and explosiveness but also on mobility, prehab, and giving adequate rest. This allows our athletes to see great improvement over longer periods of time since they will have more time in the weight room and on the court and less time in the physical therapist’s office.
We currently offer two packages: 2 days per week and 3 days per week.
Our recommendation for athletes that are out of season is to come in 3 days per week for athletic development and personal training.
We believe our athletes who are in-season should come 2 days per week to maintain their strength levels as well as help them to stay injury-free.
Too many athletes stop “training” in-season which causes them to lose muscle mass and become imbalanced; both of which can lead to nagging injuries that last throughout the year.
We take each athlete through an assessment to give them a baseline of where they currently are as well as help them set goals for each training period. With the assessment, we are able to give them specific mobility exercises that help them correct issues that are specific to them.
Our next focus is to increase the athlete’s overall strength and athletic ability, which is absolutely critical for any sport they play.
Finally, when an athlete reaches a certain athletic ability, we begin to focus on sport-specific movements and exercises that help them maximize power output for their specific sport.
In our programming, we ALWAYS consider the sport the athlete plays and make sure the exercises we do are safe for the sport and don’t put unnecessary pressure on body parts that are more injury-prone in some sports (i.e. shoulders in baseball players).
All of our athletes receive custom aspects of their personal training program.
Each athlete’s body is different in the way it moves most effectively. We start off by making sure they have corrective mobility exercises that are designed for them. We then watch them as they perform different exercises and movements to make sure we are utilizing the best exercise for their body type and strength level.
We want to make sure each of our athletes is maximizing their individual performance levels!
