Sports Performance
Whether you are training for a marathon, are a youth or masters competitive athlete, or thinking about a hiking trip through the Cascade Mountains; all of these are specific athletic pursuits!
Sports Performance is a training philosophy to enhance the long hours out on the road, pool, courts, or field. Sports Performance ensures mobility, stability, power and strength, and requires specific training for that sport. Sports Performance training is utilized to enhance and support the sport training. Additionally, specific focus to mitigate injury and imbalances that may develop during typical sport training. A sports performance methodology is highly effective when the athlete hits a plateau. This practice also proves imperative when a nagging low-level pain begins to occur during training sessions. These are all signs that something needs to be addressed before it is too late for a significant injury to set in.
For example, running. Whether you may be the weekend warrior or a competitive ultra-marathoner, Sports Performance training is the cross-training to assist with running gait, hips that don’t ache after the weekly long run and hamstrings that don’t feel like they may snap.
Similarly, for swimming. From youth to masters long training hours are in the pool. Being in a primarily buoyant environment makes cross training on dryland all that more important. Creating stable shoulders yet keeping mobility is clutch. Ensuring core control throughout each stroke, correct head placement, enough flexibility to add speed to flip turns, and rotation that aids speed not hindering it.
Sports Performance can be individually trained for in the studio or the whole team in a group setting. Onsite training is available.
