Sportsmetrics™ is a scientifically proven, six-week training program that incorporates proper stretching, special plyometric exercises and weight training.  It focuses on developing overall leg strength as well as improving balance in strength from the front to the back of the thigh.  Through specialized progression of jump/plyometric drills, athletes learn proper techniques for jumping and landing; increase overall leg strength; improve symmetry in right-to-left leg power and can improve vertical jump.

 

what is Sportsmetrics™?

Take a behind the scenes look at what Sportsmetrics™ is all about. 

 

why is Sportsmetrics™ training so unique?

Sportsmetrics™ is not just another plyometric training program. Training includes technique development and performance improvement with each session building on the previous round of training. The strength and flexibility components have also been carefully reviewed for safety and effectiveness.  Essential to the success of the athlete is the trainer interaction and feedback throughout the program.  Student to athletic trainer ratios are kept at 6 to 1 or better to ensure that each athlete receives individualized recommendations and attention.

Sportsmetrics™ and ACL injury prevention

Sportsmetrics™ is the first program scientifically proven to decrease knee injuries in athletes, especially females. Neuromuscular training not only increases muscular power and jump height, but also decreases impact forces at the knee helping young athletes avoid non-contact ACL injuries and improve performance. Sportsmetrics™ is the program that focuses on the female athlete’s needs in training, but Sportsmetrics™ is not just for females!  Males will also benefit from developing overall leg strength and perfecting jumping and landing mechanics.
