Performance Conditioning
The pre/Formance CXS Performance Conditioning Approach
We recognize that there is a holding-pattern in the progress of conventional performance and conditioning programs to meet the demands of current athletic expectations. Athletes are looking for un-conventional training programs that offer injury-free results and reduce the total training time fraction. Conventional coaches are not trained to observe and diagnose faulty motor patterns, and are not licensed to prescribe corrective training.
Regardless of the sport or position played, our programs begin with a foundational awareness and readiness to stimulate maximum CORE recruitment to stabilize joints, improve overall motor coordination, and create athletic confidence. We have a 5-step approach: (1) assess the athlete for faulty motor patterns, (2) diagnose faulty motor patterns, (3) prescribe and manage corrective motor programs, (4) prescribe and manage constructive performance programs, and (5) assign the athlete to sport specific professionals. Excellence in athletic performance requires a critical eye to be able to diagnose and prescribe properly.
Readiness + Awareness + CORE components evolve proportionally. If only Readiness (physical training including sport-specific/position-specific knowledge) is in the training program, and not awareness or CORE components, elite-ness can't be achieved. The best way to achieve elite-ness is by expanding the missing foundational-base skills such as the elemental CORE skills: (1) involving anatomically and functionally continuous interdependent myofascia, (2) curating instantaneous center of movement, (3) coordinating acceleration into deceleration, (4) while simultaneously providing, receiving and transmitting forces and loads across the athlete's body. CORE conditioning is our primary focus.
New Athlete Protocol:
1. Discuss the athlete's expectations and personal values... How can we help you?
2. Fully examine the automatic habits of the athlete in sport-specific scenarios, and in generalized scenarios.
3. Report EVERY variance from peak-performance observed in the athlete.
4. Discuss the importance of foundational CORE recruitment prior to sport-specific maneuvers.
5. Explain how to make elite-level performance more accessible in less time, with least injury.
6. Discuss time and financial investment, scope of training, outcomes expected.
7. Sample a training module.
8. Assign the athlete to sport-specific professionals for sport-specific theory and play strategies.
Our programs are utilized by professional teams worldwide every training day. We have received accolades from athletes and conditioning coaches praising the quality of measurable performance from kids to world-class.
