Speed, Agility & Quickness Program
Speed Mechanics
We train athletes on proper sprint techniques
to boost power, increase stride length and ultimately
give you an edge over your opponent. From simple
hand –elbow-shoulder positioning to gait
swing, you’ll become faster.
Acceleration
and Deceleration Techniques
You’ll learn both basic and advanced technical
aspects of acceleration from varying positions.
From the three-point stance method used to build
power and accelerate quickly, to deceleration
and change of direction techniques to out maneuver
your opponents and reduce injury.
Agility
Through our multidimensional approach, you’ll
learn how quick feet can make you a faster athlete.
By incorporating specific ladder, cones, hurdles
and agility drills, athletes will develop proper
body position and biomechanics necessary for speed
development.
Plyometrics
and Medicine Ball Techniques
Plyometrics are a series of explosive drills such
as jumping and bounding to help increase power.
With the use of medicine balls you can expect
to see a link between your speed and strength
improve.
Over Speed
and Resisted Speed Training
Our speed tools include sleds, bungies, harnesses
& parachutes which allows athletes to “tow”
weighted resistance to build necessary power in
the lower body. Our over-speed training device
allows for maximum speed development under increased
resistance.
Balance and
Co-ordination
Another overlooked component of speed training
is body positioning as it relates to balance,
and the proper coordination needed to dominate
the game. Our coaches will break down technical
aspects such as center of gravity and base of
support giving you an advantage on the field or
the court.
Core Training
Core stability training is essential to sports
performance and injury prevention. The body's
core muscles are the foundation for all other
movement. The muscles of the torso stabilize the
spine and provide a solid foundation for movement
in the extremities. Training the muscles of the
core also corrects postural imbalances that can
lead to injuries. This program involves using
many muscles in a coordinated movement or patterns
rather than isolating a specific joint.
Dynamic flexibility
These warm up’s are designed
to be sport specific unlike the “old school” way of static stretching. This method can decrease
the chance of injury and better prepare the athlete.
Strength Training
Specialized techniques to increase strengths specific to your sport. May include the use of kettlebells, bands, chains, dumbells, barbells, cables & medicine balls. |
