There
is no substitute for sport-specific training. If an athlete is serious
about his or her sport, they train for their specific position and to peak
at the right time of the sport season. While it sounds only too logical,
it’s importance is often realized only after seeking the performance-enhancement
and appreciating the gains on the playing field or court.



Golf-specific resistance training creates swing power

In order to truly train athletes for their positions and their sports, coaches
at Athletic Edge first break down the position into movement patterns (and subsequent
energy system requirements) and, after an initial athletic evaluation, devise
a strength and conditioning program geared to preparing and mastering those movements. This
is done in conjunction with an eye towards the critical time to peak, whether
it be at a try-out or a national championship meet. This periodized training,
used as the timeline for training techniques, ensures that gains are felt when
needed most.



Dry-land conditioning is crucial for hockey players' on-ice success

Whether it's a need for speed, a quest for strength or a desire to explode
off the block, the right exercise prescription goes into our sport-specific training
and gives our athletes the edge they’re seeking.

Sports
Are Movement
Specific sequences of swinging, running, diving for a ball; twisting,
accelerating, stopping on a dime; jumping, throwing, kicking, pushing, pulling,
shooting, scoring. Ultimately:
winning.





Sports
Are Demanding
Both mentally and physically. Athletes, by definition, want
the best result for themselves and for their teammates. No strangers to
sacrifice and commitment, they accept that that often means pushing their
bodies and their minds to the limit.
