Philosophy
The
philosophy of New Wave Sports Conditioning is to utilize functional
sports strength & conditioning to help all athletes in their
pursuit of excellence. All sports require multi-joint, multi-plane,
multi-directional movements, and training needs to be structured
in a way that will prepare the athlete for that reality. The
athlete is trained using a strength & conditioning program,
which will best transfer to the actual playing conditions of
that sport. A great example of this philosophy is the use of
medicine balls to replicate the integrated muscle movements utilized
during the golf swing. A secondary emphasis of a strength &
conditioning program is to reduce the risk of injury. All sports
strength & conditioning programs are based on a strong scientific
foundation and developed from sound training principles. A well-rounded
strength & conditioning program includes all of the following
training components:
- Sports Specific Resistance Training
- Plyometrics(Speed-Strength Training)
- Core Training-Abdominals/Obliques/Low Back (For Efficient Transfer of Power)
- SAQ(Speed, Agility, & Quickness)
- Footwork & Balance
- Metabolic Training(Energy Utilization)
- Flexibility(Sports Specific)
- Sports Nutrition
It is also a core philosophy that each athlete be well educated on all these components, and have a solid understanding of why each strength & conditioning program is designed in a particular way for that athlete.
The overall philosophy is based on honesty, integrity, and building quality relationships. The overall mission is to provide the guidance, motivation, and education to help athletes of all skill levels to reach their maximum potential and sports specific goals.
