STRENGTH

Special accommodations are made depending on the participant's sport, age and training experience. Emphasis is placed on correct form and proper exercise execution. We foster an encouraging environment for all our atheltes, never critical of the amount of weight lifted but aspiring to motivate our athletes to maximize their athletic potential.

POWER

Power is the ability to generate the greatest amount of force (strength) in the shortest amount of time (speed). All great athletes possess power. This vital component of sports performance training is addressed extensively in our programs.

All our athletes are taught fundamental power lifts such as squatting, hang cleans, and push presses. These lifts are complemented by a variety of medicine (weighted) ball exercises, plyometric drills, and exercises targeting the extensive musculature of the abdomen, back and hips.

AGILITY

Agility is the ability to change direction without the loss of speed, strength, balance, or body control. There is a direct correlation between improved agility and the development of athletic timing, rhythm, and movement. Sports agility teaches the athlete the best method and techniques to move with the greatest speed and quickness, eliminating wasted movements and actions.

We at Rehab 3 incorporate agility training into nearly every workout. We utilize a variety of methods from cones, hurdles, agility ladders and rings, to resistance cords and dynamic drills. All of these methods are intended to teach the basic movement patterns necessary for success in sports.

 

BALANCE

Easily the most overlooked component of training, balance is a teachable skill; improvement is often seen even within a single session. Balance is what allows us to be in the right position to use our strength, deliver a hit in football, or paint the outside corner with a fastball.

Balance is the ability to control the body’s center of gravity. In standing, this is found 2” above the navel. For this reason, core strengthening is imperative. Musculature of the hips, back, and abs comprise the core. This key area is exercised religiously during each session.

 

SPEED

The greatest concern among today's athletes and their coaches is how to improve playing speed - the speed of all movements, including starting, stopping, accelerating,changing the direction of the body, delivering or avoiding a blow, sprinting, and split-second decision making during sports competition. Improving your playing speed depends on a complete approach to conditioning including strength training, plyometric drills, and improving technique and form. Without adequate speed and quickness, stardom in most sports is nearly impossible!
