The program is twelve weeks long and divided into progressive stages. These stages will allow the athletes to develop their skills at a pace that will improve their performance as well as decrease the incidence of injury in sporting or recreational pursuits.
There are three workout sessions per week, each lasting approximately one and a half hours.
The first segment of every session focuses on:
 |
Flexibility |
Torso training |
| Speed Development |
Strength and Explosiveness |
| Conditioning |
Power |
| Agility |
Acceleration/Deceleration |
| Movement Mechanics |
Balance |
The second segment of a session focuses on strength-training to improve performance. Athletes will learn and perform correct explosive weightlifting movements (cleans, snatches, etc.) as well as front squats, bench presses, and many more functional strengthening exercises.
Many high speed rotational and change of direction movements (great for tennis, golf, baseball, and other sports) are performed on a KEISER FUNCTIONAL TRAINER, a revolutionary machine that is used by all the professional athletes at ATHLETE'S PERFORMANCE in Tempe, Arizona and Carson, California — considered by most to be the best training facilities in the world.
Post-workout soft tissue recovery will be aided by a DEEP MUSCLE STIMULATOR (DMS). This device is used by the widely recognized NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SPORTS MEDICINE and is the only one used in the state of Arkansas.
Nutritional information will be a major emphasis for those needing to pack on muscle or to lose a few pounds.
The sessions will be held in groups of 9 to 10 athletes which will divide into smaller groups of 3 to 4 for the strength-training portion to allow for adequate supervision.
