As an athlete, your performance is everything. How fast you run, vigorously you train and even the things you eat are essential in maximizing.
Sports performance training is targeted, often sport-specific fitness training that aims to improve functional movement, decrease risk of injury, and build strength and power. At Children’s Sports Performance, our sports performance specialists create evidence-based, customized sports performance programs for growing athletes. Our holistic approach to sports performance training is guided by EXOS’ four pillars of human performance:
- Mindset: Achieving a state of mind that allows you to perform at your best
- Nutrition: Learning how to fuel your body and brain for maximum performance
- Movement: Improving performance by moving your body more efficiently
- Recovery: Allowing the body and mind to repair, recharge and upgrade during rest
Athletes are grouped with age, level, sports and goals in mind. We help:
- Older elementary and middle school athletes (8 to 14 years old) focus on establishing a foundation of skills and efficient, healthy sports movements. Each class includes a dynamic warmup, body weight strength training fundamentals, and a competitive, fun circuit, as well as mobility and recovery techniques. This class will teach young athletes how to perform common and fundamental athletic movements with proper technique to reduce the risk of injury. It will also help to develop proper mechanics, balance, flexibility and strength.
- High school athletes work to improve performance as they strive to compete at a higher level. Each class includes a dynamic warmup, movement skills, explosive power training and strength training, as well as mobility and recovery techniques. The goal is to achieve increased levels of movement efficiency, strength, power and endurance while decreasing injury potential.
