Performance Programs

strength * Speed = Power

Strength alone is not sufficient for sports. An athlete must be able to exert force in the shortest period of time. Here at EliteU, we have the tools and technology to not only measure power, but to train and track power as well. This is a critical component in performance development.

​

Functional strength is strength that actually translates to an athlete's specific movement patterns within their respective sport, and or position.
Our goal is to identify movement pattern deficiencies and energy leaks within the chain of movement patterns; then enhance these deficiencies and minimize energy leaks. It's not enough to be gym strong. An athlete must be performance strong. We can help!

Speed is the distance covered by the time it took to cover that distance. Every athlete is working within the parameters of time and space, and each time and space is variable to the athlete's sport, and position. We work to enhance speed according to how an athlete will expect to utilize that speed. We also focus on acceleration, which is the ability to cover short distances quicker, or the ability to reach top speed quicker. We utilize state of the art high performance training technology to make "speed" one of your greatest weapons! Speed kills, and that's why we put so much emphasis on this element of performance preparation!

Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse

These are the 3 planes of movement. The reason that training in 3D is so critical is because it trains your body to respond to the dynamic and unpredictable situations of real life in sports. Training in 3 dimensions also helps to mitigate injury.  

All powerful movements originate from the core of the body. Core training improves athletic performance and reduces the risk of injury. Core muscles work as stabilizers for the entire body and therefore is a critical component to all performance development programs. We integrate core training during every training session.

Flexibility is defined as "the ability of a muscle or muscle groups to lengthen passively through a range of motion', whereas mobility is the "ability of a joint to move actively through a range of motion." Athletes need to work on maintaining or improving their flexibility and mobility. The strains and stresses of playing a sport add up. Repetitive motion puts uneven stress on the body, and thus flexibility/mobility allow you to move as efficiently as possible. This means better performance and reduced risk of injury.
