Train & Move Like An Athlete

Training to enhance your athletic qualities will have a compounding impact on your performance throughout life.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and is eager to unlock your potential, understanding the significance of targeted training is essential.

Training to enhance your athletic qualities goes beyond simple workouts; it's about building a well-rounded foundation that directly translates into improved performance, regardless of your chosen activity.

Athletic qualities such as strength, power, reactivity, mobility, and endurance are important components in various sports and physical activities. Training to enhance these qualities enables you to perform at your best while maximizing your physical abilities.

Train Like An Athlete Checklist:

Work Through Full ROM:

Strength adaptations are specific to the joint angle being trained. Training through full ROM will help improve joint stability, coordination, strength at all joint angles along with overall strength.

Enhance Work Capacity:

A solid foundation is an essential piece to improving performance.  Aerobic capacity, baseline strength, core stability and developing elastic qualities are essential pieces to a solid foundation. Building on these qualities will allow for further advancement in other training areas.

Improve Max Strength:

Maximizing strength raises the ceiling for power output and improved strength performance. By lifting near maximal weights at a low velocity, strength - speed and motor unit recruitment are both maximized.

Increase Reactivity:

Developing elasticity is essential to maximizing the stored energy within the body. The ability to essentially recoil off the ground is a major key to improving athletic performance. Plyometric exercises with short ground contact times can help improve reactivity. If you want to be fast, you need to move fast.

Build Power:

The ability to harness and transfer energy plays an important role in improving the efficiency of athletic type movements. High velocity movements like plyometrics, resisted jumps and medicine ball throws all have positive impact on power development.
