Sports performance training is specialized coaching focused on teaching athletes to maximize their performance while preventing injuries.
TUF works with athletes of all levels to improve speed, agility, strength, power, endurance, reaction time, balance, coordination, conditioning, flexibility and overall performance. We can work with athletes in any team or individual sport who want to improve their performance, including:
There are two categories of performance focus:
Speed and Agility – This training increases acceleration and top linear running speed while improving athlete’s ability to change direction and move laterally without loss of speed, balance or control.
Speed Training
Assisted & resisted drills
Agility Training
Acceleration, deceleration, stabilization and re-acceleration drills
Power and Endurance – This training develops the ability to apply maximum strength in short bursts while improving the body’s energy efficiency in order to meet the demands of extended effort in any sport.
Power Training
Plyometric & strength training
Endurance Training
Circuit training with low weight & high repetition
All sports performance training options include aspects of flexibility training, basic nutrition and mental preparedness to promote injury prevention.
For optimal results, we recommend a minimum of one Speed & Agility and one Power & Endurance session per week.
