1. Which of these sessions would be best for my child?
Due to the rapid growth and development an athlete goes through during their early years augmenting all the athletic components is best. Therefore the 5 day program addressing both strength training as well as speed and agility with give them the optimal training and education during their critical development years..
2. Isn’t speed and agility just like what coaches do at practices?
They are the same movements with a greatly different focus. In taking our athletes through these drills we constantly analyze and correct each move ensuring they are performed biomechanically correct. A coaching staff typically lacks the time or anatomy/biomechanical education to identify and address the tendency to develop bad habits. This reduces the on field performance of these movements simply to exercise missing the specialized skill meant for the drill to train. Learning and training these movements correctly will allow the athlete to excel on field when asked to perform these advanced movements by their coach significantly advancing their value to the team.
3. Why are there set days and times for the sessions?
We have our programs set at specific intervals throughout the year to allow all athletes the opportunity begin the entry level program. The second and third tear programs are scheduled according the athletes specific season and schedule requirements. This allows the athlete to use what is known as “periodization” or adjusting the intensity and type of workout in relation to their competitive season.
4. What can I do with my son/daughter about getting them to eat better?
At the beginning of every 8 week session we discuss proper eating ideas and habits with the participants. Our coaches will then check with them during sessions whether or not they are being wise about their eating. Since nutrition is such a major role in making gains we do not want to see our athletes make minimal gains because they are making poor eating decisions.
5. Will just doing an 8 week session be all that my son/daughter needs to do?
Although a single session of sports enhancement is extremely beneficial, in order to continually progress their skills through their developmental years subsequent sessions are absolutely necessary. Each level teaches core components of the next that must be mastered in order to successfully perform and train the exercises at the next level. Therefore an athlete needs to complete all three levels to acheve mastery of all movements and then must continue to train these movements in a progressive fashion throughout the season to maintain peak performance for competition.
