Summer 2025 MAD Speed & Strength
What: Weight room portion will consist of full body training each day, using principles and philosophies of the Tier System and Linear Periodization. We will use 6 foundational movement patterns (Squat, Hinge, Press, Pull, Jumping, and Throwing), and other auxiliary movements for Mobility and Core work. All weight lifting exercises will be age and skill appropriate and will be modified as needed. We will be using paper training cards for each individual athlete. The training program will be projected on TV screens, but each athlete will be responsible for tracking the weight used for each exercise. “We can’t get to our destination if we don’t know where we’ve been.”
We will also do Speed, Acceleration, Agility, and Plyometric exercises each week. The purpose of this program is to increase our overall athleticism by enhancing our strength, linear speed, agility, and power.
