What is Sports Performance Training?
One of the common threads I have noticed over my years of treating professional, Olympic, college, high school and grade school athletes is a woefully inadequate or non-existent strength and conditioning program. This lack of preparation leads to injuries that could have been prevented and performance that could have been improved. This also goes for the weekend warrior who thinks they can just get on the court or field and play with no preparation or consistent training.

The National SAFE Kids Campaign states that there over 3 million sports related injuries occur in children and teens each year. The 2003-2004 NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook, p.6 states:

  "Preseason Preparation: The student-athlete should be protected   from premature exposure to the full rigors of sport. Preseason   conditioning should provide the student-athlete with optimal   readiness by the first practice."

Our programs maximize anyone's athletic potential by training speed, strength, agility, flexibility, balance and endurance in a safe, supervised environment. These programs are for people of any age and skill level.
