When you're a serious high school football player, preparing for a combine is much more than practicing the tests a few times days before the event.

Our High School Football Combine Training Program is designed to provide all of the tools necessary for complete preparation. Modeled after our NFL Combine Training Program; this program provides mental preparation, physical preparation, and recovery techniques that will have you ready to perform and get noticed!

Daily Intent- be focused on TODAY, the RIGHT NOW. The goal is to leave the training session a little better than you started. Be locked in and focused on that goal, no matter what you have planned that day.

Here’s what our research has shown: The biggest gains in speed are made by the athletes who consistently train speed between the ages of 14 and 18. What does that mean? Simply stated, in an annual calendar- the athletes who allocate 3 months to speed training and development had the bigger overall increase in speed compared to those who sporadically/inconsistently trained.

Congrats to DePaul Catholic Girls Soccer for capturing their 3rd County title in 5 years. The Lady Spartans shut out Wayne Valley 2-0 in Saturday’s Championship game and should have a top 4 seed…

…soccer ranks high in injury rates (defined as the number of injuries per 1000 hours of player activity time), higher than field hockey, volleyball, handball, basketball, rugby, and boxing.¹ Most of these injuries occur in the lower extremity and during the competitive season.¹ What is even more surprising is the fact that most injuries to soccer players are non-contact. It is not the sliding, tackling, and colliding into other players that causes the most injury. It is the running, twisting, turning, jumping, and shooting that were linked to the most injuries.

Besides overall health and management of lifestyle factors, why else is strength and condition important for the youth athlete? Most importantly, it sets up a foundation for the younger athlete to build and grow upon. Many kids jump straight into sports once they are at the appropriate age. Through this experience they naturally develop skills and learn the movements associated with their specific sport. However, oftentimes, youth sports teams do not work one on one with a strength and conditioning coach. Therefore, these kids do not ever properly build a foundation of strength, not just strength in their muscles, but also strength of their joints, ligaments, and bones.

The key difference between the French contrast method and complex and contrast training is its utilization of a number of methods for explosive development of the athlete. The French contrast method, using a four-exercise protocol, pushes the physiological response of the athlete further, forcing the utilisation of alactic and anaerobic work capacity to increase.

Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, is a recovery tool using cold, near-freezing, or freezing temperatures in different forms to help the body recover from stress, trauma or injury, and exercise. Cryotherapy has been used for centuries, even dating back to 2500 BCE as a way to treat injuries, decrease pain, and alleviate swelling. Now, in more modern times, it is also used to help overcome muscle soreness from an intense workout.

Humans are the only living creature that voluntarily chooses to skip out on sleep, thinking it will help them get ahead of their long to do list. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.

There is an undeniable amount of research on sleep and the positive effects on overall health and wellness. Sleep is even gaining popularity in being considered another vital sign for humans to monitor.
