Step Ahead’s Strength & Conditioning training programs focus on the training of all the major muscles of the body in a functional manor, involving all fundamental movement patterns insuring Injury Prevention (Pre Habilitation) Muscular Balance and Performance Enhancement. This philosophy is based on our core program components of Safety,Time Efficiency,Intensity, and Productivity. We have also kep
t in mind to include portions of a variety of other methodologies and training techniques that are specific to some sports, specially Basketball. However, our main aim remains to make our clients become better athletes! It is important to note we firmly believe a training program should require a year round effort (in-season-off-season). Therefore, athletes need to train throughout the year to maintain their maximum level of performance. After all, it is most advantageous to have an athlete at his or her strongest and most conditioned during the season; not before or after it! In addition to Strength & Conditioning, our Speed, Agility, and Quickness workouts are very crucial and sport specific. When implementing a Speed Agility Quickness workout for a specific sport, we make sure it is Energy System Specific (high intensity, short-medium duration), Movement Specific (training in the specific planes of movement performed in that sport), Competitive (compete against teammates or clock), and Fun (players will work harder if they are having fun). Our Elite Athlete Training philosophy is not a magic formula or a cure all. Our programs can and will yield tremendous results in size, strength, and overall performance level if followed with tremendous effort and consistency. It is important to understand each athlete’s potential for growth is based on their genetic predispositions. Therefore, we never compare an athlete with anyone but themselves. We strive to help each and every one of our clients maximize their athletic potential and achieve their goals.
