Our
“Raise Your Game” philosophy is more than just the latest
research and training principles. We dedicate ourselves to motivating
your athletes to not only excel as athletes, but to realize their personal
potential and develop the skills they'll need to succeed in life; skills
such as discipline, confidence, preparation, self-motivation and leadership.
The Role of a Strength and Conditioning Coach
The Strength and Conditioning Coach is responsible for improving an
athlete's performance and preventing common sports related injuries.
By determining the strengths and weaknesses of an athlete, a training
program is devised to enhance performance and correct imbalances and
deficiencies which may lead to injury.
Technical Skill v/s Athletic Skill
Participation in sports requires a blend of technical skills and athletic
skills. The exact amount of each is dependent on the sport and level
of competition. Technical skills, such as throwing for the baseball
player or shooting for the lacrosse player, are required explicitly
by each sport. Between tournaments, leagues, games and practices, technical
skills are, at times, practiced 5-6 days per week for the greater part
of the calendar year. Athletic skills such as power, strength, flexibility,
balance, speed and agility are required by all sports but their role
and level of importance in each sport will vary. Athletic skills training
will enhance the execution of technical skills, increase performance
and prevent injury.
Athletic Skills Development
MPF Training Systems focus on the long-term development of each athlete
through an emphasis on stability training before power and strength
training. Athletes must demonstrate the ability to execute movements
that require body weight control, balance and core stability before
strength and power training exercises are progressed. Traditional training
models used for high school athletes require maximum or near maximum
strength and power movements in the early stages of training putting
athletes at risk for the development of permanent muscular imbalances,
decrease sport performance and potential injury.
