Mission Statement:
The Sports Performance is committed to cultivating an environment that incites competition and offers the student-athletes the best chance to succeed. This is accomplished by bringing a contagious level of energy and providing a comprehensive program that utilizes scientifically supported methodologies.
Vision:
To prepare, produce, and protect the student athlete while maintaining the People, Student, Athlete mindset.
Core Values:
- Explosive Triple Extension everyday (Olympic lift, throw, jump, sprint)
- Develop and maintain a great base of strength throughout the entire year
- Value the individual, praise great effort, and reward performance
- Teaching over yelling
- Develop each person athletically and mentally
Overall Program Philosophy:
The base program has three primary goals for all student-athletes: 1. Increase athleticism (strength, power, work capacity), 2. Reduce non-contact injuries and 3. Instill a desire for self-improvement. This is accomplished by utilizing a scientifically backed program using free weight, ground based, multi-joint, explosive exercises. Athletes perform a myriad of exercises, but focus on three main genres: Olympic lifting (snatch, clean, and jerk), powerlifting (squat, bench press, and deadlift), and accessory/corrective exercises. The goal is to replicate the velocities and forces that are experienced during competition to help them excel on the court or field.
