Our Speed and Power Specific Programming and On-Site Workouts will assist athletes in developing the abilities that leads to performing explosive movements optimally and consistently. We'll use the same techniques that collegiate, pro and Olympic athletes use to improve their linear speed and change of direction.
This program introduces and puts athletes through the science and application of elite speed development. We use force-plates and timing-gates to educate our athletes, and implement the coaching cues necessary to improve speed and power. The drills we select transfer directly, or provide an opportunity for teaching technical cues that transfer to more difficult movements.
* We encourage athletes to complement this technical and plyometric speed camp with our on-site, semi-private coaching and custom strength programs. These sessions can take place Monday, Wednesday or Fridays, are flexible, and would focus on strength-based exercises to enhance speed development.

Medicine balls are great training tools for a variety of reasons! The main benefit is that they can provide just the right amount of load to train upper body explosiveness. Typically when targeting the ‘athletic ability’ of muscular ‘power and explosiveness’, you’ll start at a load within 30-40% of your 1 rep maximum, and potentially…
