QUALITY TRAINING MATTERS

Proper strength & conditioning methods have been proven to
improve performance and prevent injuries, when implemented correctly
How Does Proper Training Help Athletes?
BOYD EPLEY, MEd, CSCS*D, FNSCA, RSCC*E
Assistant Athletic Director, University of Nebraska
Founder, National Strength & Conditioning Association
“The quality of your program's strength and
conditioning matters. If you’re not providing your
athletes with safe and effective training designed by a
CSCS-certified coach, then you’re not maximizing their
ability to stay healthy and perform.”
THE LONG-TERM APPROACH TO ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT
The Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) paradigm is the industry’s standard for preparing
athletes safely and effectively for sport performance
“Youth should engage in developmentally appropriate, well-rounded strength and conditioning programs that prioritize a long-term view to the development of athleticism.”
