PHYSICAL

Physical training is another cornerstone of athletic performance that encompasses the large range of physical qualities needed to perform at a high level: movement, injury risk reduction, balance, coordination, strength and conditioning, stamina, speed, and sensory integration.

MENTAL

Mental training is a foundational piece for all of the AOTR training; with the proper mentality, just about anything can be accomplished. Mental training is woven throughout the Skill and Physical training, however there are many times this needs to be a focal point in itself.

TECHNICAL

Technical skill is a cornerstone of Athletic Development and Performance. Oftentimes, this differentiates beginners from intermediate, advanced, and elite athletes. No matter your size or athletic ability, players that are extremely skilled play at a higher level than their competition.

PROFILING

Athlete Profiling utilizes all of the Skill, Physical, and Mental assessments to create a complete picture of the athlete’s abilities and training needs. After an athlete is profiled, goals are set and a complete training program is created that address all of the athlete’s needs, giving the athlete a developmental edge over the competition like no other training program available.

MENTAL TRAINING

Mental training is a foundational piece for all of the AOTR training; with the proper mentality, just about anything can be accomplished.

  •  Goal setting and progressive training individualized to each athlete using tools such as visualization and mindfulness
  •  Development that athletes will see and feel in training and competition
  • Available for all sports
