Coaches are good at training in their specific sport and teaching plays, but not every coach has had the training of a personal trainer, who knows injury prevention, muscle balancing, conditioning and cross-training best. Our personal trainers work alongside the coach to develop an effective and safe training regimen for the team as well as individual players based on their needs. While coaches focus on developing players’ skills, our trainers focus on strength, speed, and agility in the context of your specific sport. Our personal trainers have an eye for spotting individual weaknesses and will address them individually with customized modifications and progressions in order to prevent player injuries and enable them to perform to their max potential.
Injuries are the #1 set back for athletes that not only hurts the team, but individual careers. Not all team coaches are trained in injury prevention. A personal trainer can help fill in the gaps and help ensure your team a successful season. We teach the players how and why injuries such as ACL tears, shoulder tears, and ankle sprains happen. When they understand these fundamentals they are less likely to react, even sub-consciously, in such ways as to cause those kinds of injuries. If a championship is your end goal then hiring a team trainer is a must have and worth the investment.
We train youth as well as adult teams and leagues. Our recommended program includes pre-season training, supplemental in-season training, and off-season training. We recommend training at least 2 times a week.
Our trainers can either lead or supplement pre-season per coach's desire. The focus is on performance conditioning as well as achieving and maintaining muscle balance.
The focus is on performance, whether that be increasing speed, agility, or strength. Our trainers work with the coach during practice to lead warm-ups and cool-downs and ensure proper player form. Trainers assess players during practice and plan training programs individually for each player for non-practice days. On training days our trainers will work with players on performance nutrition plans, muscle rebalancing, body alignment, cross-training, and performance conditioning including strength, speed and agility.
The focus is on re-alignment, rebalancing muscles, cross-training under-used muscles, and maintaining muscle tone, flexibility, & mobility. This is recommended for teams that did not perform well the prior season and want to maximize their off-season time.
For your first step, schedule an initial consultation over the phone where we learn about your team and where they could do better. Then we share our recommendations, agree on what the partnership would look like, as well as answer any questions you may have. Next, we’ll come out and meet the team and other staff and evaluate a practice. From there we’ll put together a complimentary training plan in collaboration and coordination with the staff and current schedule which we will walk through and align on with the coaches before kicking off the program.
