No two sports are exactly alike, but all share commonalities within movement patterns. Regardless of the sport; sprinting, jumping, throwing and change of direction are fundamentally very similar. Essentially, they are primal functions of human movement.
I do not coach or instruct the sport itself; I recognize this is the job of the expert coaching staff. My job is to implement a training program that will improve structural movements, motor learning and grafting. The result of these training programs will transfer to excelled sport performance on the field. The athletes will move with more efficiency due to increased stability, mobility, motor control and power. Last, by eliminating movement deficiencies, risk of injury will be greatly reduced.
With the many factors involved in sports performance training, I am actively viewing the athletes that I am working with. Everything needs to be taken into consideration and such variables as age, maturation level, current sport level, specific sport, training experience and calendar time frame must be acknowledged.
Each training session will be governed by the SAID Principle (specific adaptations to imposed demands) and many consistent variables, but will remain flexible to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances. The focus of the training is to better prepare the athlete to accept, redirect and project movement. We train movement patterns, not muscles.
