Training Myth - warm-ups are not important. WRONG!

Warming up before training is the best way to prevent injury. Warming up only takes 10 minutes. 10 minutes of warming up sounds better than being injured and having to take weeks or even months off to recover.

Dedication: Being committed to a purpose.

This is Speed & Strength University’s signature Dedication wall with over 750 signatures of athletes who have dedicated their time to train consistently.

Next Mental Performance Skills Workshop is Wednesday, September 28th from 7-7:45pm. We will be going over the topic of focus and how you can work to remain steady under pressure.

To perform at your peak, you need to take time to recover. Make sure you are intentional about your recovery days!

We can help you with knowing when to recover, what to do, and how to recover properly for peak performance. We offer help with stretching, cold plunge, foam rolling, trigger point work, breathing mechanics, and more.

Here’s a recap of our Team Building Workshop for TruHit Fitness . We coached 12 fitness trainers on the importance of communication and reflective leadership.

🧠 Why are goals important?
🔗 Sign up at https://www.vagaro.com/cl/WBLq76Yb5cjsSFuNXqqwQ8e2BfXQMSy~G-UXrXQ9Cqo=

Goals are important. Starting with no idea where you are headed is like getting in a car without a destination. 🚗 If you play sports, chances are you have goals in mind for what you want to accomplish. However, reaching those goals can sometimes be more complex and sometimes very complicated.

In this mental skills session, we are going to talk about goal-setting and how to create a road map to reaching your goal. It’s great to have a goal, but without a plan to achieve it, then it is just an idea. 💡 So let’s work on learning how to create a plan, and get you there!

THANK YOU to our awesome coaches Joe, Zach, and Bobby for helping with this Team Camp the past two months! As you can probably see, we had an amazing sunset on the last day of camp with Liberty Jr Lions that I couldn’t help but share.

Another great Mental Performance Skills Workshop. Jenna walked through the steps of how to master self-talk: REFLECT, RECOGNIZE, REPHRASE, REPEAT.

You must first recognize what you are telling yourself, then omit performance degrading/negative thoughts and switch to positive/performance improvement thoughts.

Just like you train your physical body, you have to train your mind. It takes practice!

Last Mental Performance Skills Workshop was an overall a great event. Good news, we’re having another workshop on July 20th from 7-7:45PM!

We will cover the topic of Self-Talk: understanding the power of our thoughts and what we say to ourselves is crucial to our success. We will learn how to become aware of your own inner voice so you can stop negative thoughts from affecting your performance. Learn ways to overcome and use Self-Talk as a powerful tool for your mental game. 🧠

Only $20 for this workshop. Sign up at https://www.vagaro.com/cl/h7UyodOEjZ9RhRdTgbMu9T~r8kpgxK4wZUW0eRccXrA=

Great Mental Performance Training Workshop we had this week. Thank you everyone for coming out!

Jenna taught on the importance of motivation and your mentality. It is important to know WHY you show up to train and WHY you compete. Knowing your why will help you grow and overcome distractions, challenges, and burn out.

If you are interested in attending the next workshop, we will be announcing the next date soon!

It’s important to start with the basics. Before lifting heavy weights, you must develop an understanding of basic form.

Here are some key tips when performing a deadlift. Make sure your feet are shoulder width apart, chest is big, squeeze your shoulder blades, push your heels through the ground, finish tall, and keep that same form as you lower the weight to softly kiss the ground. Maintaining good form will help prevent injury and promote muscle growth.

We will be hosting a mental performance training workshop at Speed and Strength University on June 22nd from 7:00 – 7:45 PM.

Our Mental Skills Coach, Jenna, will be leading us through simple skills you can implement in your training to obtain and maintain maximum performance.
