M14 Strength

 For any athlete, strength is going to be the foundation. Performance attributes such as speed, agility, and power rely heavily on strength. Therefore, our programs target major muscle groups all throughout the body that are scientifically proven to improve basketball performance.

Faster is better, period. Our programs are designed to build speed through the strengthening of specific muscle groups and the education of proper acceleration and sprinting mechanics. Also, hip and leg mobility are key components of building speed and a focal point within our warm-ups and recovery.

This is the most common movement pattern in basketball. Through strength work, improved footwork, and proper deceleration mechanics, our athletes become more agile. More importantly, we apply our improvements to real basketball scenarios where athletes are required to react to an external stimulus rather than a pre-set movement pattern.

Power is the ultimate balance of speed and strength. Often times, power needs to be taught rather than built because it’s not in everyone’s nature to be explosive. Through improvements in strength and proper instruction of power-based movements, our athletes see significant improvements in explosive movements such as the vertical jump.
