TOTAL ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

What does it take to maximize total athletic performance????  And more importantly, are we doing everything we can to achieve this?  These are two of the critical questions that must be considered when planning a performance training program for the high school or collegiate athlete. Preparation to maximize athletic performance has become a total year commitment which requires dedicated training in several different areas.  With the ever increasing level of competition that seems to be elevating every year, the ability of an athlete to achieve his or her goals is becoming more and more correlated with their ability to prepare with great dedication and consistency in a program that will leave no stone unturned in the quest for excellence.  And it’s this motivation and determination that drives Under Armour’s TNP Training Program to providing the very best athletic enhancement information available today.

With the “leave no stone unturned” mentality that the TNP Training Program strongly promotes, there are seven key areas that much be addressed by the athlete that is motivated to maximize their athletecism.  These areas are strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, flexibility, and nutrition.  There are certainly other areas of training that can be incorporated into the yearly program, but these seven areas encompass the foundation of total athletic preparation and dedication to them will provide the athlete with an excellent means towards achieving their goals.
