Train Better

Athletic injuries are physically and emotionally devastating, impacting athletes, parents, coaches, teams, sponsors, and fans.

Sports and recreation -related injuries are so common-more common nationwide than injuries from traffic accidents-that they are often accepted as an inevitable part of the game. Even though injuries are devastating to the athlete's physical performance and emotional state, little preventative training is done. When it is offered, it is frequently premised on nonfunctional performance robbing concepts that waste time and offer a false sense of security. This means that performance and safety enhancing services that reduce injuries and improve performance are often overlooked.

"Train Better" is a new and effective program designed specifically to reduce athletic injuries, particularly those of the ACL and knee while simultaneously enhancing athletic performance. The program has three main components:

  • Threshold Testing
  • Threshold & Performance
  • Training Injury Rehabilitation

"Train Better" provides a fresh new strategy for area sports programs. It focuses on building better athletes who are less susceptible to injury. The training principles are research supported, fun, challenging, and effective.

"Train Better" Components

Threshold Testing
A safe and systematic evaluation of an athletes' capacity.

Threshold and Performance Enhancement Training

Training entails a logical progression of neuromuscular challenges built on individualized success that enhances and reinforces athlete's ability.
