The purpose of the Athlete Development class will be to give the student athlete an opportunity to reach his/her maximum potential as a student athlete.
The class will be made up of a cross-training strategy which will include weight training and speed development directed to improve the athlete both physically and mentally.
The weight training part of the class will be conducted on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday where the athlete will master the technique of four core lifts including the Bench Press, Squat, Clean and Push Jerk. The core lifts will be supplemented by auxiliary lifts which can be varied according to the needs of the athlete. On Tuesday and Thursday, the athlete will work on speed development where agility and low stress plyometrics will be used to develop the athlete’s quickness.
Lifting and quickness techniques will be stressed to insure safety and maximum development, along with stretching and flexibility exercises to increase the athlete’s flexibility. The student athlete will be evaluated according to improvement and his or her ability to reach several personal goals which will be determined by student, teacher and coaches at the beginning of each nine week period.
