EQUIPMENT:
With Phase 1 nearly complete we have made a tremendous upgrade to our equipment! We still have several pieces that need to be replaced or upgraded and we will need more equipment if we move into new square footage in the future. During the 2018-2019 school year we will launch Phase 2. This will include:
With Phase 1 nearly complete we have made a tremendous upgrade to our equipment! We still have several pieces that need to be replaced or upgraded and we will need more equipment if we move into new square footage in the future. During the 2018-2019 school year we will launch Phase 2. This will include:
- Odds & Ends - specialty bars, additional storage, more wall balls, slam balls, wall graphics, floor tape, etc.
- Launching the Training Table - post workout nutrition, see below.
- Velocity Based Training Devices - Push 2.0 devices so that we can measure bar speed, vertical leap, and acceleration.
NUTRITION:
NUTRITION:
Part of our fundraising efforts will fund post-workout nutrition. This is vital to recovery and improvement. Most people do not realize 53% of our students live in poverty. Many do not eat anything significant in the evenings after training. Some do not eat an evening meal at all.

GIVE EACH ATHLETE WHAT THEY INDIVIDUALLY NEED ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY FOR NOT ONLY THEIR SPORT OR THEIR POSITION, BUT FOR THEIR NEEDS AS AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON.

TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY
Teambuildr for programming, tracking, and assessing athlete progress over time. This software also allows us to assess the athlete's recovery or lack thereof which in turn allows us to individualize training to the specific needs of the athlete on that particular day.
Devices that measure speed - That which gets measured matters. We can use electronic timing systems to time 10 meter sprints and track progress. Velocity based training devices can be used to measure bar speed. This technology gives us the opportunity to tailor training to the needs of the sport and to the needs of the individual athlete. As some athletes reach a base level of strength they will progress to VBT techniques.
SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT
SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT
Specialty equipment will allow us to make training more safe, sport specific, and athlete specific. Specialty bars allow us to keep athletes in safer positions during max-effort lifts. For example, the safety squat bar will allow the athlete to keep a more upright posture taking pressure off of the low back while building the legs and it allows the shoulders and elbows to be in a safer position. Our number one rule is "do no harm." An athlete should not be injured in training. Equipment like the "Iron Neck" has been shown to decrease the risk of concussion by improving neck strength.
We have already managed to start a collection of some specialty equipment thanks to the booster club.
NUTRITION
NUTRITION
We have a 53% poverty rate and many of our athletes do not get the calories they need to recover from training.
Recovery is arguably more important than training. It is during the recovery when the athletes adapts, grows, and improves. Athletes need calories and nutrients to recover from training. We want to be able to give all of our athletes post-workout nutrition each training session. Hopefully we will be able to give liquid and solid nutrition at the conclusion of each workout. With our poverty rate it would be ideal to have the ability to offer additional calories to our athletes who are below the poverty line.
