A parent testimony:
“We are extremely grateful for the work Coach Sean Sowney put into training our daughter over the past year. As an elite swimmer and D1 commit, she needed a strength program that was individualized, intentional, and built around the demands of a competitive swimming program.
 
Sean took the time to truly understand her goals and her sport (even attending meets and watching her race videos). He diagnosed some physical asymmetric issues and built exercises to correct her imbalances. He designed a program to support her performance, not just her fitness…The results have been remarkable: she has increased her muscle mass, improved her body composition to support speed and flexibility and has increased mobility. Focused work to support her starts and turns has resulted in a season of personal best times.
 
Beyond the physical results, Sean brought a level of focus and professionalism that helped our daughter show up with confidence and purpose in every session. She went into her current season stronger, more explosive and more confident than ever. We highly recommend Sean Sowney for any serious athlete looking for sport-specific and individualized training.”

Learning top speed mechanics is not easy. It is very neurologically demanding, and requires a ton of technical proficiency.

In the video, you see Emma going through her first top speed session with our Director Sean.

Slowing the mechanics down, and segmenting each stride into three trainable sections allows the athlete to take a step by step approach to learn a new movement pattern.

If you want to learn more about top speed mechanics please reach out to schedule your complimentary evaluation!

Strength training for young athletes is about more than getting stronger.

In a recent Bucks Family Magazine feature, NPI Performance Director Sean Sowney shares how individualized strength and conditioning can help young athletes prepare for the demands of their sport while learning to move safely and confidently.

From first-time athletes to high school competitors, the goal is simple: help every athlete move better, feel stronger and leave feeling better than when they walked in.

Read the full story to learn more about NPI’s approach to youth performance training.

At some point, every parent of a young athlete asks themselves a question that is probably as old as youth sports. Should my child start a weight training or strength
