What is the Athlete Performance Academy?
The Athlete Performance Academy (APA) relies on age-appropriate training to create a model-learning environment to help athletes excel, all while giving them tools to help improve their training for years beyond their time with us. The APA educates and trains high school athletes in the weight room. We focus on developing each athlete at their current level and teaching safe lifting technique while improving strength and agility throughout each session. Athletes will also gain the knowledge to create their own workouts to benefit them beyond the scope of their session with the APA. Our athletes average strength gains of 28% over the 4-week course.
