A Question of Strength
Adam Johnson, Velocity SP - It is widely accepted that strength training is an important part of a football player’s training regimen. I would have to say that almost 90% of the football players that come to train at Velocity Sports Performance come in with one of their main goals to be increasing their strength.
Principles of Speed
Velocity SP - When an athlete comes to Velocity Sports Performance to train we initially ask them for three goals they wish to accomplish. It is almost guaranteed that one of those goals will be to run faster. That can mean increasing their first step quickness so they can explode off the line or increasing their speed endurance so they are a scoring threat down the field.
Va-Va-VELOCITY!!!
Santa Clarita continues to be not only cultural magnet, but our propensity to attract high profile sports performance businesses is second-to-none. Picture if you will, a cross between Golds’ Gym – an X-Box 360 – and the Rose Bowl and you may get a small picture of the new kid on the block in Velocity Sports Peformance. I took a recent tour and came away impressed and wishing I were a teenager again. This place is not only really cool but the coaches there are top notch!
Spring and Football are in the Air
As we are all enjoying spring break and heading out the beach, desert or ski resorts some of our local talents are working hard through their days off to improve their football skills. High school players? No. College? Nope. Not here in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Santa Clarita Youth Sports Association Kicks Off!
A new youth association that, in my opinion, will develop into a “one stop shop” for everything involving youths sports has opened its doors in the Santa Clarita Valley. By definition, the Santa Clarita Youth Sports Association is a alliance of Non-Profit organizations dedicated to providing a positive sports experience for children and families in the Santa Clarita Valley. SCYSA member organizations are unified in their desire to instill key values of sportsmanship, character and family in the pursuit of excellence on and off the field of play.
