Point Loma Sports Performance offers a unique hands-on approach for all athletes, who want to optimize athletic ability, reduce the risk of injury, enhance overall performance and increase the ability to handle physical adversity. We achieve these results through a one-of-a-kind program that combines education, motivation and continued support throughout the athlete’s year-round development. Regardless of level, our athletes are challenged both physically and mentally with the purpose of building each player to his or her highest level of greatness.
Our training approach addresses performance on two fronts. First, we develop our athletes from the “inside-out.” Our primary focus is to teach our athletes how to move their bodies with correct posture by building a mobility/stability platform that will ensure the development of proper functional movement patterns. Secondly, we use the “build from the ground up” approach that focuses on the development of force production through the proper kinematic sequence needed to perform movements that are specific to your sport.
Each one of our Sports-specific Development Programs is built on 5 principles: 1. Prevent Injury • Increasing the fitness and athleticism of a player will make them less likely to get injured, and if injured, will recover them from injury more quickly. Improving performance and health requires a year-round comprehensive training approach that emphasizes muscular balance, core strength, joint mobility/stability, proper nutrition and adequate recovery.
2. Establish a Routine • Establishing a consistent routine is the key to progressing your development and maximizing performance. Engaging in a year-round training program that simulates the movements and energy demands for your sport is beneficial to maximum performance. Gains acquired during the off-season are quickly lost if you fail to train during the season.
3. Increase Functional Strength • Functional Strength is the applied strength used in sport. For example, baseball and softball players are not body builders; so there is no need to isolate muscle groups and train for size or appearance. Workouts should focus on improving functional movement patterns, increasing sport specific strength, power output and kinematic sequencing instead.
Increasing functional strength by utilizing multi-joint, multi-plane, ground-based exercises that improve the strength and power is essential for successful athletic performance.
4. Build Work Capacity • Work capacity is the total amount of work you can perform and recover from. An Increase in work capability is a trainable quality that requires a consistent, systematic progression of training variables (i.e., exercise selection, volume, load, and rest time) that will improve fitness and delay fatigue.
5. Educate • As strength and conditioning coaches, we have a responsibility to help our players understand what it takes to be successful on and off the field. Our goal is to provide an environment where you train with a purpose and can explain the “why” behind all the movements we do. We provide players with guidance and advice on topics such as training strategies, performance, proper nutrition, injury prevention, and recovery.
Our coach’s vast experience offers in-depth knowledge and expertise in performance training. Each coach looks forward to developing an independent relationship with every athlete by supporting and mentoring them through their individual journeys. We give you all the tools you need to perform at the highest level, but you must be accountable for your actions. All athletes must learn to “Own Your Development.”
