Be Strong To Be Useful

Our mission is to bridge the gap between returning from injury and peak pinnacle performance by developing strength and conditioning programs that focuses on a holistic philosophy that incorporates proprioception, nutrition, psychology, and sports specific/injury preventing exercises.

In every program we strive to follow the Four "Y's"

Is it Standing= Yes

Is it Multi-planar= Yes

Is it Multi-Joint= Yes

Is it Challenging= Yes

Our goal is to create well rounded athletes that can meet the demands of the sport and requirements of the coach. We do this by focusing on the 10 aspects of a great athlete which are: Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy

 Training includes

  • Developing strength, power, and then explosiveness that originates from the lumbo-pelvic-hip-complex
  • Taking into account various aspects of each sport and training the body accordingly
  • An emphasis on multi-directional core stabilization without using classic core exercises that can lead to muscle imbalance
  • Conditioning training that not only focuses on physical adaption but also strengthens the athletes mental perserverance
  • Integration of muscles, not isolation
  • Maintaining range of motion in all joints
  • Correcting muscle imbalances
  • Assessments performed at the beginning and end of each training cycle
  • Teaching proper foot positioning therefore creating correct kinetic chain alignment and optimal length-tension ratios
