CAMPS & CLINICS

Strength and Speed Clinics

October 8th and 29th (Ages 8–18)

Strength, speed, power, agility…these words are synonymous with achievement in the sports arena. But what do they really mean, and how does one become stronger, faster, more powerful, and more agile?

Mettler Athletic Strength and Speed Clinics will teach and train athletes the proper ways to acquire these highly desired attributes. Too often athletes train without attention to form or function. This usually leads to inefficient and ineffective workouts that can develop muscle imbalances and improper biomechanics that may increase the chance of injury and impede the athlete�s progress.

These one-day clinics will put a purpose to training by teaching proper lifting and movement mechanics aimed at maximizing results and minimizing injuries. Mettler Athletic coaches will lead the athletes through training sessions that cover sprinting technique, agility training, power development, and strength training. Athletes will learn not only how to train properly, but why it is important to train properly, so that they may take that knowledge and transfer it to their individual workouts outside the clinics. Any athlete of any sport will benefit from the clinics because of the emphasis on making a better athlete, not just improving in his or her sport.

Our first two clinics will be held on October 8 and October 29. Registration begins in September, and space is limited. The clinics are open to athletes ages 8�18. For more details, call 398-9800.
