Strength and Conditioning Plus
Strength and Conditioning Plus integrates evidence-based strength and conditioning principles and techniques with sport psychology coaching, sports medicine, and nutrition. Our goal is to increase each athlete's strength, power, energy system resources, and flexibility...resulting in players who are stronger, quicker, and at a lesser risk for injury.
The program is designed around the sport-specific needs of each athlete, with continued monitoring of successes and struggles being an integral part of the training process. In addition to the physical training aspect of the program, each athlete will have the unique opportunity to work with a sport psychology coach to ensure he or she is fully prepared for the rigors of sport training and competition.
Strength and Conditioning Plus sessions include:
- Active warm-ups to stimulate the body's neuromuscular system, enhance flexibility, and improve balance
- Explosive training utilizing plyometrics and Olympic-type lifting techniques
- Movement training to assist the athlete in more efficiently meeting the demands of his or her sport by focusing on neuromuscular training (combining strength and balance)
- Multi-joint, total-body strengthening using free weights
- Core training to strengthen the torso's stabilizing muscles
- Agility drills to increase quickness and reaction abilities
- Cardiovascular training geared towards enhancing the athlete's overall fitness level and meeting sport challenges
- Sport psychology assessment and coaching to improve mental abilities
