Golf Ready
Is the Golf Players Championship inspiring you to get your #drive back and get into the #swing of things again?
DS Performance can help with a Golf focused training plan.
Strength & Conditioning has grown in #Golf so much because swing issues and swing limitations have been proven to be based around the player’s current physical status, not their skill level. The conditioning element isn’t in place just for swing development, but also for increasing the player’s ability to perform maximum power repeatedly over the course of many hours. As well as the skills involved in Golf, if we can be physically capable to play the game this will work in tandem to reduce your handicap whilst also avoiding injuries.
Our series of programmes have been designed to take you from the beginning of a new training cycle, all the way through to competition, whilst preparing you for optimal performance.
We recommend that you follow the training programmes in the order we specify, to help you structure your training correctly for long term development, so that you produce your best possible results.
Squash Development
Does the Canary Wharf Classic make you want to SQUASH the #competition?
#Squash is a game that has varied rally durations, intensities and multi-directional movement patterns, which involves performing high skill levels at a fast pace. Stamina/endurance is important, but equally so are other physical attributes such as strength, power, agility, stability and speed. These are needed for good movement around the court, as well as racket head speed, for strong ball strikes. Our series of programmes have been designed to take you from the beginning of a new training cycle, all the way through to competition, whilst preparing you for optimal performance. We recommend that you follow the training programmes in the order we specify, to help you structure your training correctly for long term development, so that you produce your best possible results. We have identified the key physical attributes for Squash that will develop your performance. We have, as a result, written programmes designed to target these attributes specifically for the following areas: stability, strength, power, speed and agility.
