Parkview Sports Medicine Performance athletic development training is designed to improve Empowered athletes by maximizing their athletic potential. Our structured training program follows a progression from teaching proper technique to maximizing speed, strength, agility and power. Becoming quicker, stronger, more agile and more explosive means better performance on the court.
PSM Performance training also increases your durability and endurance, while helping lower your risk of injury during the club season. We partner with PSM Performance so that Empowered athletes maximize their ability and gain an edge on the competition. PSM Performance has trained dozens of college-bound Empowered athletes, and they can help develop the athletic tools needed to reach the next level.
The PSM Performance Training Philosophy
PSM Performance exists to build athletes from the foundation up, guided by our Long Term Athletic Development Pyramid. The pyramid provides a guideline for how we train athletes, beginning with foundational skills and building to top-end performance.
- Foundational Skill Development – the building blocks of athleticism
- Capacity Development – the ability to perform and withstand the stress of competition
- Acute Skill Development – producing force and reducing force (acceleration and deceleration)
- Energy System Development – sport-specific conditioning and fitness
- Top-End Skill Development – reaching the peak of your athletic capability
