Ultimate Goal
Develop our student athletes as people and players to maximize their potential on and off the field of competition. We want to build resiliency in both mind and body to guide our athletes on their path to becoming the best they can be.
What We Believe
1. High Character, Low Ego
Character drives the process, the process drives habits. To become the best teammate/employee/spouse/parent you can be, you must be intentional in developing your character. Low ego means putting your team first and being coachable.
2. Purpose
Every time you step into a training session we are asking for the absolute best you have to give that day. We teach our athletes to consistently focus on the small things like technique and intent. Everything we do has a purpose, we cannot build the habit of just going through the motions. Increasing intent is one of the quickest ways to see improvement.
3. Energy and Effort
We strive to create an atmosphere for our athletes that will foster excitement and the desire to come back and work hard the next training session. This means putting on upbeat music, performing every rep with full intent, displaying positive body language, and encouraging our athletes to get excited over each other's success. We want this to be the best part of our athletes day.
4. Cultivate Relationships
Honest relationships between coach and athlete as well as between teammates is a critical component to success. Once we learn where we have been as individuals and where we want to go, we create a level of trust that allows us all to push further than ever before.
Training Philosophy
1. Multi-joint—3-D Movements
Multi-joint movement's recruit and activate more muscle fibers which provide structural support and stability needed to produce greater muscular force. Injury reduction is a big reason why we strength train, and this is why we will always choose free weights and cables that allow three-dimensional movement over machines.
2. Balanced Programming
Balance with pulling and pushing exercises. The best way to reduce the chance of a shoulder, hip or knee injury is to have balance between upper/lower pulling and pushing.
3. Progressive OverloadÂ
The principle of progressive overload is foundational to the athletic performance field. Ensuring that the athletes are receiving more stimulus over time allows the athlete to grow to a point greater than where they started.
4.  Performance Monitoring
All athletes will have access to Teambuildr, an application that allows athletes to monitor the load on all of their movements and track their performance tests. Athletes will be tested on goals that correlate to success in their sport.
