Sport Performance Training in the South Hills of Pittsburgh
We offer strength and conditioning programs for athletes of all levels. Our coaches have direct, hands-on experience working with athletes ranging from elementary school age to middle school, high school, collegiate, and professional levels. Strength and conditioning can benefit athletes at any stage of their development, regardless of when they begin training.
Our coaching staff holds Master’s Degrees in Exercise Science with a focus in Strength and Conditioning, along with NSCA Strength and Conditioning certifications, allowing us to provide the highest level of performance training and athlete development.
Our biggest priorities when working with athletes are developing speed, strength, and stability so every athlete can perform at their highest potential. These core principles not only help athletes maximize performance on the field, court, or track, but also help keep them healthy and competing longer.
While injuries can happen in any sport, a properly designed strength and conditioning program has been shown to improve recovery and help athletes return to play more quickly compared to athletes who do not consistently train.
Our Strength & Conditioning Programming Include:
Upper and Lower Strength
Help strengthen all soft tissue such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia
Example lifts: Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, Overhead Press and many variations based on the athletes needs
Upper and Lower Conditioning
Help increase stamina among all energy systems needed for a game
Conditioning through running, sled pushing, and air assault bike
Power and Speed
Combination of jumping , sprinting, first step explosion, varying olympic lifts and sled sprints
Body Positioning
Learning proper body mechanics through exercise to transition to optimal body awareness on the field
Rotation Mechanics
Sport is not just linear. Athletes need to train in rotational patterns for the entire body to enhance quickness and reduction of injury
This is most important when athletes are jumping or cutting on the field
Core Strength & Stability
The entire body’s strength goes as the core does. A strong core will allow for the rest of the body to be strong. This might be the most important part of programming for athletes
