A Structured Training System: 'A Commitment to Winning!'

It is imperative to have a sound philosophy with specific goals in mind while developing a comprehensive program that will meet the needs of your athletes. The main goal is to provide a structured training system that all athletes can benefit from and at the same time consider the different positions involved and the different athletes involved.

The reason for a structured training system is to stress the fact that “A Commitment to Winning” is never left to chance and no aspect of training is to be ignored. The philosophy of the successful sports program is to incorporate training that will enhance the athletes’ performance and prevent injury.

It is prevalent that training athletes is a multifaceted phenomenon that is very challenging to all involved. It is not only a scientific process but also an art form in itself. There is always a delicate balance that is needed when dealing with a conditioning and training program.

There are various key components of training that must be addressed: muscle strength, muscular power, anaerobic power, aerobic capacity, flexibility, speed, agility, coordination, etc. Overall performance will see its greatest improvement if a range of training methodologies are implemented that address each of these components. The utilization of a structured training system that fully develops every component in a timely manner will produce a winning program. The ultimate goal is to put the best conditioned and healthiest athletes on the field or court of play. This philosophy is truly “A Commitment to Winning”.
