The Mission of our Sports Performance Program is to provide our students with a safe, developmentally appropriate, comprehensive strength and conditioning program designed to maximize athletic potential and reduce the risk and severity of athletic injury. To accomplish this we equip our athletes with the knowledge of proper training protocols and the resources and inspiration to attain their goals. The program is process focused rather than outcome driven, which allows us to center our attention on controllable factors that can be improved and evaluated on a daily basis.
