2. To supply an individualized athletic performance program which provides sport specific and position specific principles, while retaining the fundamental physiologically proven methods that will assist the collegiate athletes in their preparation for success during high performance competition.
3. To provide quality sport nutrition counseling and education for all sports and student-athletes based on scientifically proven methods for performance and recovery.
4. To comprise a staff committed to equipping the student-athletes with an environment which encourages academics, social responsibility, spiritual growth and competitive excellence, while fostering team cohesiveness and mental toughness through a creative discipline approach to training. As a staff we evaluate our skills and training sessions daily with research, collaboration and reflection on effectiveness.
