Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention: Coaches are required to incorporate the performance enhancement exercises developed by our Athletic Trainer, who is also a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, into the start of daily practice sessions. The proven benefits include:
- Improved performance
- Improved body awareness and control
- Decreased risk of injury – especially rupturing the ACL ligament in the knee
- Improved core strength – especially because of the enormous amount of time spent in a seated position both in school and at home in front of a screen
- Improved neuromuscular efficiency – ability of the brain to acknowledge what is happening at the muscular level and manipulate it as quickly as possible
- Improved muscular efficiency – ability to have the right muscle fire at the right time at the right intensity
