WHY WE NEED TO SUPPORT YOUNG STUDENT-ATHLETES
A PROBLEM WORTH SOLVING
Despite a post-pandemic recent resurgence of youth participation in sports, an important aspect of development in both the physical and mental component needed, is the ability to access professional sports performance training programs. According to recent studies, decreased funding in youth sports programs across the country has had a profound effect on athletes from ages 13 to 17 years of age. These sports teams are now often run by volunteers who have little to no experience in coaching or training athletes. This has led to an increase in injury rates, inadequate training programs, little to no uniforms/equipment and a decrease in an athlete’s confidence.
Introducing sports performance training to youth athletes will give them a competitive edge, improve their sport specific skills as well as valuable life skills. According to experts, youth athletes who are exposed to professional performance training are challenged more neurologically, develop stronger social skills, healthy habits, self discipline, sportsmanship, listening and comprehension skills, all of which are of key importance as they grow into adulthood.
OUR SOLUTION
In a recent study, athletes exposed to professional sports performance training had a positive impact on their physical and mental approach to their training, competition and general life outside of sports. We are taking a leadership role in empowering youth athletes who can benefit from experiencing professional sports performance training.
As Certified Sports Performance Trainers under the National Academy of Sports Performance (NASM), we have had the honor of training youth athletes from various demographics around the world. We have seen how athletes have excelled on and off the field after exposure to professional sports performance training. In our youth years as athletes, we were fortunate to receive training from some of the top athletes in the country. We want to empower youth athletes by offering them the same training experience.
We are taking a leadership role in exposing youth athletes to professional sports performance training. Our sports performance camp exposes athletes to an elite level of science-based training in neurocognitive/sports vision training (Senaptec), nutrition, speed & agility, multi-planar movement, explosive power, vertical jump training (Vertimax), body weight training, weight training (older athletes), yoga/flexibility and exercises. Athletes are guided through the dynamics of the physical and mental aspects of training, practicing and competing in their sport.
This 1-week camp introduces technology and training modalities utilized by some of our professional sports clients in the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, FIFA, WNBA an US Olympic training facilities. We have designed this camp to specifically engage youth athletes in true professional sports performance training to improve their athleticism in their respective sports.
Athletes will learn about sports performance training and experience first-hand that it is more than general fitness. It involves training the mind and body while increasing their confidence. Our goal is to help them reach their performance goals in their sport and more importantly in life!
