Training and the Student/Athlete
As a Personal Trainer and Coach I have seen the effects of our modern, easy lifestyle taking
its' toll on our health.
The incidence of over-weight and diabetes is effecting nearly 30% of the adult population.
Even more frightening is the rapid increase of same among pre-teens and teens.
The importance of physical activity
in attempting to control this near epidemic can't be overstated. Therefore the sports programs in the schools and in clubs
are a big part of that solution.
Teacher/Coaches are many times very restricted in the time they can spend with
their teams. Those that make a team and can continue to progress are those with inherent attributes.
But I am
concerned about the child who has the desire but needs just a few more tools to develop their potential to the fullest. Those
that do not will "drop out" of athletics and likely not return to an active lifestyle for 25 years, after they realize
some of the simplest tasks are becoming physically demanding! Assessment Days for Optimal Sports Performance A great alternative
to give your student athletes a full athletic assessment. Delta Valley Athletic
Club in Brentwood CA and Coach Tony are developing plans for this service to athletes of a broad range of experience. The athlete will be given a needs analysis of flexibility, stability, endurance,
strength, power and speed. He will be joined by a team of personal trainers
in conducting these assessments. When dates and times are determined this page will be updated to keep you informed. Only $20 per person. Coaches, Athletic Directors, Recreation Managers and Parents should contact Coach Tony at runfitter@earthlink.net indicating their interest. Delta Valley Athletic Club is located at 120 Guthrie Lane, Brentwood,
CA.
I AM
ALSO OFFERING
Any coach who can provide a space
for a couple of hours on a weekend can have their athletes participate in Speed, Agility and Quickness development, for a
small $10 fee per child.
The workshops would be especially helpful for those who are just on the verge of realizing
their potential, but need the tools and time to drill.
Please, any one knowing of a school coach who may be interested
in this opportunity, should have them contact me. If you are a parent of a child seeking to build his/her athletic skills,
I would be delighted to speak to you also. I will travel to sites in a 15 mile radius around Antioch, California.
