• DS Performance training programs are designed to run alongside a skill/sport-specific based training plan. Our programs provide sessions for 3 days of training a week, to alternate between your skill/sport-specific training sessions.

 

• Our 12-week strength and conditioning training program are broken down into 2 x 6-week cycles, with a de-loading between the two training blocks. This will allow the body to recover, prepare you for the second training phase and reduce any risk of injury.

 

• Along with your training program this book contains a supporting guide to mobility training. This guide uses myofascial release, static stretching, and activation work to mobilize the major body parts used in training.  

 

• Designed to reduce the risk of injury and avoid bad training habits through our sport-specific training programs. We provide training programs designed by ex-team GB athletes and coaching staff that have practical and applied experience through a wide range of individual and team-based sports.      

 

• Our program has been developed to bring elite training methods to everyone, from all levels of sporting ability. Our mission is to make training programs utilized by professional athletes available to all sporting enthusiasts and performers. 

The amateur training level is specifically designed to be utilised at the beginning of a new training cycle where you need to condition the body for higher intensity training. It is also the entry level for when you’re new to sport specific strength & conditioning training and a general preparation phase is required, before moving to the next level.

 

Strength training is essential to all sports. It is well known that, increases in strength lead to greater force production and efficiency in performance. This is why we have identified it as one of the key physical attributes for Lacrosse and a player’s long term physical development.

 

The strength programmes have been designed not to just build your maximum strength, but your strength endurance as well. This will reduce the risk of injury and eradicate any muscular imbalances that have resulted from previous injury or poor training practices in the past.  

 

Our strength programmes prepare you for the next training level physically, so you can handle greater loads and move larger amounts of mass. Strength comes in many forms and in lacrosse you are required to be strong through all planes of movement. Our programmes accomplish this for all lacrosse players.
