Long term athletic development:
Some athletes will take to performance training quickly and see massive results with very few sessions. Some athletes take more time. Either way, to build tissue & tendon resiliency it takes time. One of the hardest parts about training is that once you “have it” (high vertical, crazy strength, speed, etc.) you don’t get to keep it unless you continue to train it.
Valley Dance Team 🐾 is such a great example of what can happen when a group of athletes commits to and prioritizes their training. In 2023 most of the girls on the team had never touched a weight. Now it’s part of the culture of the team to do performance training. As a result, it’s given the team not just more athleticism, but it’s given them more opportunities to lead and grow the chemistry of the team.
This 2026-2027 team is particularly special because the senior class started with us as incoming freshman back in June of 2023. It’s absolutely wild to see that class’s growth individually.
None of that growth is possible without a strong & supportive coaching staff on the team and some amazing parents!
So proud to be part of such a special group for 4 seasons 🧡 🖤
