Strength and Conditioning<br />
The main focus of the strength and conditioning program<br />
is to give each student-athlete an opportunity to perform at<br />
the highest level throughout his or her collegiate career. To<br />
achieve this, athletes need to prepare both in the physical<br />
and mental aspects of their sport. The physical aspect is<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plished through strength training, conditioning,<br />
flexibility,<br />
explosiveness,<br />
nutrition, agility<br />
drills and speed<br />
training. These<br />
aspects of strength<br />
and conditioning<br />
not only help the<br />
athletes perform<br />
at their highest<br />
level, but also help<br />
through preventing<br />
injuries, which<br />
in return will<br />
allow the athletes<br />
to remain on the<br />
<strong>com</strong>petitive playing<br />
field. The mental<br />
aspects of strength<br />
and conditioning are<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plished through<br />
accountability, hard<br />
work, focus and<br />
determination. Each<br />
of these aspects<br />
will be focused<br />
on through an<br />
individualized yearround<br />
program.<br />
