How Strength & Fitness Training Will Help You On The Basketball Court:

-Improved strength for absorbing contact, setting screens, boxing out, and holding off your defender in the post.

-Strong and balanced legs for running, jumping, maintaining your defensive stance, and the energy to play hard for the whole game.

-Enhanced core stability so you can stay on balance when you take contact while driving to the hoop, and effectively transfer power from the lower body to the upper body in long range shooting.

-Reduce injury risk by enhancing joint stability, muscle balance, and strength of muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones.

-Enhance your stamina and energy systems so that you have the energy to keep performing your skills consistently throughout the game.

-Improve your freedom of movement and enhance circulation for recovery.

What’s Different About My Approach?

-My whole approach to all aspects of fitness training is heavily research based.

-My philosophy around training is to make everything as time efficient as possible-enabling you to achieve as much as possible with the minimum time commitment, so you can balance your training with your other obligations.

-I won’t recommend high impact training techniques that will be stressful on your body when we can achieve the same result through lower impact activities.

-You’ll be treated as an individual and involved in the decision making process.
