Performance Training

Sport coaches work on athletic strategy and talent and organizing the efforts of numerous individual athletes into one common purpose for the betterment of the team; sport coaches focus on qualitative work and their skill is measured in the collective success of the team's efforts. Strength coaches work on the technical aspects of sport, that is they help the individual athletes prepare by training them to achieve the highest level of fitness and performance possible on an individual level. A strength coach measures their work in quantitative values--did they help the athlete get stronger, faster, more explosive, bigger or smaller. Both the sport coach and strength coach need to work together to plan for the training the former for the collective efforts of the team, the latter for the individual efforts from each athlete.

This brings us to the Everyday Athlete model; strength coaches break down the movement patterns of a sport, or a specific position of a sport and help the athlete to prepare to be as efficient and effective as possible for the specific demands of their sport or individual. The same can be done for you to help you develop the most effective exercise program for your needs.

Think about the movements and actions that you perform on a daily basis-would you like to have more energy, strength, stamina or flexibility to perform these movements and actions with ease and with a reduced risk of injury? If so, then the Everyday Athlete training model is for you. To train like an athlete, pay attention to the movements you perform on a daily basis: do you lift? push? reach? pull? walk? run? carry? Any one of these movements can be broken down into an exercise which you can use to enhance your strength and function for that particular action or activity.
