Sports Performance Training
Program Description:
The Sports Performance Training program is designed to help our players use, develop and maintain their bodies as athletes. We believe that each player has three main responsibilities - school, their sports and their bodies. The Sports Performance program is designed to help individuals manage all three with a focus on progressing your body through movement, nutrition and sports psychology.
