Program kicks off with an initial testing workout of sport-specific metrics. This will be the bench-mark from which we measure each athlete’s individual improvement. We will two more testing workouts to measure improvement; one at the halfway point of the training program and a final one at the conclusion of the program.
The program will include 2 in-person workouts per week. The other weekly workouts will be delivered via a training app where each athlete will have their own workouts with detailed instructions for each day’s workout and visual aids as needed.
The In-person workouts will take place on Tuesday and Thursdays from 8:30-10 am at the West Feliciana Track. These in-person workouts are a great way to keep athletes, engaged, motivated and on-track with their training.
