Mission Statement
The mission of this strength & conditioning program is to provide a well-designed, collaborative training program that is based on sound physiological and scientific principles by means of a systematic plan that is sport specific, safe and productive, and helps maximize the athletic potential of the student athlete by prescribing stress over a period of time that forces the athlete’s body to respond to a given stimulus, thus resulting in a positive adaptation. Our goal is to provide each student athlete with the best hands on strength and conditioning program in the country with a commitment to the principles of ethical conduct, integrity, and excellence.
