The Complete Athlete program is designed to train any athlete in any sport. Being fiercely competitive, athletes are always looking for the "extra edge" that will give them an advantage over their rivals. The Complete Athlete program covers all the necessary components that an athlete requires to be well rounded, giving you the ability to attain optimum performance in your sport.

• Speed - is the quickness of movement of a limb, whether this is the legs of a sprinter or the arm of the shot putter. Speed and speed endurance are integral parts of every sport and are influenced by the athlete's mobility, functional strength, strength endurance and technique.
• Power - is the rate of performing work. It is a measure of how much energy is created in each second that passes, the size of the force applied and the velocity at which it is applied. Speed and strength are integral components in virtually all athletic movements and combine to form power.
• Functional Strength - is training that increases muscular balance and joint stability, which leads to fewer injuries and increased performance. Functional strength training better prepares the body for an individual's sport by working through a variety of specific movement patterns that mimic the actions of the sport. Incorporating various strength exercises that utilize the muscles to maximum efficiency, athletes will assure themselves of obtaining the extra edge next season.
• Core Stability - is training that specifically targets the deep small muscles of the lumbar spine and trunk. The aim of core stability training is to effectively control the position of the lumbar spine during dynamic movements. Athletes will learn how to efficiently employ the proper techniques in recruiting the trunk musculature to activate the lumbar-support mechanism to keep a neutral spine position.
• Endurance - is the capacity to maintain the same level of intensity throughout the activity. The combination of aerobic, anaerobic and musculature endurance are crucial for almost all athletes. The ability to resist respiratory and muscular fatigue while holding a position, repeating movements or sustaining an activity for a long period of time without getting tired are essential in sport
• Flexibility - is the ability of muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia to stretch. The range of motion in the joints and the ability of the muscles to contract and coordinate all define how we move. The implementation of a proper flexibility program is imperative for soft tissue recovery.
• Ambidexterity - is the ability to use both of your hands, feet or the combination of the two with equal ease. It is simply logical in sports to be proficient with both sides of the body, any athlete who possesses this ability will have an edge on their competition.
• Eye-Hand & Eye-Foot Coordination - is the capability to maneuver your hands and feet in synchronization and manipulate objects using visual cues. The development of hand-eye & foot-eye coordination is critical in the overall physical and athletic maturity of an athlete. Reaching up and catching, swinging, or kicking an object that is in motion is a main staple in almost every sport.
• Balance - is the skill required to keep your center of mass within your base of support. A variety of injuries common to highly trained athletes often have nothing to do with strength. They often have little to do with flexibility and rarely do they have anything to do with endurance. More often than not, sprains and strains have to do with balance. Slight deviations in terrain require slight adjustments of balance to avoid injury. Balance can be learned, challenged, and improved to heighten your abilities.
• Visual Training - in most sports, you'll never achieve your true potential if your eyes aren't up to it, almost 80 percent of perceptual input in sport is visual. Generally, the eyes lead and the body follows. Vision training addresses how well the two eyes work together as a team and seeing objects in three-dimensions (3D). The stamina, flexibility, and fine-tuning of your visual system can sometimes provide you with the split-second timing you need to truly excel at your chosen sport.
• Mental Training - with very fit, well-conditioned athletes, it is often concentration that falters, especially in prolonged competitions. Being physically gifted is only one attribute of a successful athlete. There are many others that are not so easily quantified such as drive, ambition, determination, and the ability to focus mentally through adversity. Learning and refining your mental skills can give you an advantage over more talented but less focused athletes.
