Introducing the Mobility Lab!

While it may not get as much attention as our wrestling mats or weight room, this space represents something we believe strongly in: long-term athlete wellness.

Mobility, flexibility, movement quality, recovery and injury prevention all matter. The athletes who consistently invest in these areas are often the ones who stay healthy, continue improving, and separate themselves over time.

Small details. Big results.

The Mission Athletics jungle gym is home to various physical challenges, but none more daunting than the dreaded revolving pull-up bar. Since March 15th, many of our athletes have attempted to overcome it. There were a few who manged two or even two and a half turns before being thrown to the floor in defeat. The sinister spinning bar was starting to seem more unconquerable than ever. That is until Monday, June 8th at 5:59 PM, when Anna O'Rear stepped up and took it for an astonishing 16 turns. Exceptional work Anna!

New addition to the Mission Athletics jungle gym for the M/W group strength class.

Most athletes begin with traditional dips. From there, we can progress to ring dips, which introduce an element of instability. This variation takes things two steps farther by requiring athletes to constantly fight rotation and oscillation while performing the exercise.

Strength and stability, working together.

New at Mission Athletics: Performance Parenting

Every sports parent wants to help.

The challenge is that what feels helpful is not always what is helpful.

That's why Mission Athletics is launching Performance Parenting, a monthly seminar series designed to help parents become a more effective source of support throughout their athlete's journey. The series will be presented by mindset coach and author Mike Gillette.
