As a university employee, I get discounts on some programs that we run with our affiliates. Recently I learned that we have 'Performance Enhancement' programs through the sports clinic and a few of them sound interesting. I was planning on finding a sprint coach and someone to get me started on olympic lifts but I figured I may or may not give these a try first. My question is, which sound the most beneficial for tennis? Obviously it depends on what my weaknesses are, but honestly I don't think I have any glaring ones when it comes to tennis but I want to amp up my overall physical condition for the coming season. Any opinions either way on any of these?
Running Program
The Running Program is a six- to eight-week sport-specific, speed and agility training program that enhances performance by focusing on foot speed, body mechanics, and sprint work. Our state-of-the-art treadmills will push you past your previous limits to a new level of speed and performance.
Resistance Cord Programs
Want to increase your kicking, throwing or hitting speed? Improve your spike or 3-point shot? We offer a trio of programs that can help: Kicking Cord TM, Throwing Cord TM and Power Cord TM. All of these six-week programs use patented technology and can be tailored to your sport. Plus, each one is designed to be effective on its own or as a compliment to our other programs.
Sport Specific Technique Coaching
Our certified athletic trainers* offer expertise in a wide array of sport specific skills. Whether you want to perfect your high jump approach or learn the right way to use starting blocks, let us help you get the edge by learning the proper technique necessary to excel. We also offer a hitting and swinging instruction program for baseball, golf and tennis athletes.
VertiMax Vertical Jump Training
Adding a few more inches to your vertical jump can make the difference between hitting and missing that jump shot. This 4-, 8-, or 12-week program will help basketball and volleyball athletes achieve explosive leaping ability through the use of VertiMax training, plyometrics, focused lower-body strength and power lifting. We will record pre- and post-training measures to gauge your improvement.
ACL Risk-Reduction Program
While statistics show that ACL injuries are among the most common injuries for female athletes, a majority of these are the result of non-contact incidents. You can reduce the risk of ACL injury with proper evaluation and instruction in biomechanics and strength training. Our six-week program will assess areas of need, focusing on proper landing techniques, body awareness and positioning, deceleration when cutting or stopping, and increasing core and leg strength.
