FMS Screening (Functional Movement Screening)

• What it Does: Identifies movement inefficiencies, asymmetries, and areas prone to injury by analyzing basic movement patterns like squats, lunges, and rotations.

• Why It Matters: Even small movement limitations can lead to decreased performance and higher injury risks. By addressing these limitations early, athletes can improve mobility, stability, and coordination.

• Value Added: Customized corrective exercises provided to each athlete ensure long-term improvement in movement quality.

Power Testing (Grip Strength, Vertical Jump, Leg Press)

• What it Does: Assesses muscular power and strength across various domains.

• Why It Matters:

  • Grip Strength: Strongly correlates with overall athletic performance and injury prevention.

  • Vertical Jump: Reflects lower-body explosiveness, crucial for speed and agility.

  • Leg Press: Tests raw strength and endurance in the lower body.

• Value Added: Results help identify which areas to emphasize during training to enhance explosive performance.

Mastering Stress: How Your Body Balances Performance and Recovery

• What it Covers:

  • The interaction between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and recover) nervous systems.

  • How chronic stress impacts recovery, performance, and growth.

• Why It Matters: Stress isn’t just mental—it directly affects physical performance and injury risk. This session teaches athletes practical tools like breathing exercises and mindfulness to maintain balance.

Training Smarter: Finding Your Perfect Effort Zones

• What it Covers:

  • How to use heart rate zones, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), and Reps in Reserve (RIR) for smarter training.

  • The science behind pushing hard enough to improve without risking overtraining.

• Why It Matters: Many athletes train blindly, leading to burnout or plateaus. This lecture empowers them with tools to train efficiently and effectively.

Cracking the Code: What Blood and Performance Data Reveal

• What it Covers:

  • How blood biomarkers and performance tests like VO2max and lactate thresholds create a roadmap for progress.

  • Connecting the dots between internal health and external performance.

• Why It Matters: Athletes often ignore internal metrics, but this lecture bridges the gap, showing how improving health markers directly enhances performance.

Game Plan: Turning Metrics into Winning Strategies

• What it Covers:

  • The art of periodization: structuring training cycles to optimize results.

  • How to adjust training based on individual data for peak performance during competition.

• Why It Matters: Personalized training plans based on objective data eliminate guesswork, setting athletes up for long-term success.

Fueling Growth: Hormones, Health, and Athletic Success

• What it Covers:

  • How adolescent hormones impact strength, recovery, and mental health.

  • The role of nutrition, sleep, and training in supporting healthy hormonal development.

• Why It Matters: Puberty and adolescence are critical times for athletic growth. This lecture ensures athletes maximize their potential safely.

Energize, Recover, Repeat: Nutrition Secrets for Young Champions

• What it Covers:

  • The role of macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbs) in fueling performance and recovery.

  • Practical tips for meal planning and timing to enhance energy and muscle growth.

• Why It Matters: Nutrition is the foundation of athletic performance. This session demystifies eating for results and sustainability.

Q&A Session: Your Chance to Ask the Experts

• What it Covers:

  • A fully interactive forum where athletes and parents can ask questions about their unique challenges.

  • Guidance on integrating camp lessons into real-world training and lifestyle habits.

• Why It Matters: Personalized advice ensures every attendee leaves with clarity and actionable next steps.
