During physical therapy school at Northeastern University, I volunteered as an assistant strength and conditioning coach with varsity athletics.
Summer was the most exciting time as first-year student-athletes came to campus to begin their team’s strength and conditioning program.
Our strength and conditioning and sports physical therapy staff quickly understood which athletes had experience in the weight room and which did not.
The athletes with limited weight room experience seemed lost. They didn’t know how to perform the required exercises and were notably weaker than their teammates.
Their coaches quickly learned about this, putting them at a disadvantage compared to their teammates working in the weight room before attending college.
Here are three exercises to help your athlete gain an advantage over their teammates.
Does your athlete dream of playing a sport in college? Are they looking to get ahead of their competition?
If so, don’t miss this opportunity to join our rising-star summer performance program. In this program, your athlete will be coached through a customized program that will transform them into a stronger, faster, and more explosive athlete. Contact us to learn more!
