PERFORMANCE ENHANCING PROGRAM ROLLS ON
Like many at our club have, you too can achieve new and exciting results with Emily Zerella, Diamond Valley Eagle’s Strength & Conditioning Coach; a specialist in athletic technique, strength and flexibility.
Technical skill is only part of what goes into a great player. Maximizing your physical potential is a notable characteristic of elite players in any sport – especially ours. The physical demands of Basketball : running, sprinting, jumping, landing, changing direction, having a strong core are all able to be improved with strength and conditioning training.
Diamond Valley’s Strength and Conditioning Coach, Emily Zerella will help you with:
• Running technique, speed and injury prevention by using correct technique.
• Gaining strength through body weight exercises and power through explosive plyometric drills and exercises. Improve movements such as vertical jump, reaction time, explosive movements up and down the court and strength against the opposition. This is a great method of training to improve anaerobic fitness.
• Core strength and stability; Learning to engage the core in all exercises will build a strong foundation for overall strength and stability. Your core is where all of your strength and power originates from, so the stronger your core, the stronger and more efficient all of your other muscles and muscle groups will become.This aspect of training is often overlooked but core strength is essential to being fast and jumping higher! It also improves your balance, agility, and endurance.
• Stretching, and the different types of stretching that should be used either at the start of a session/game or at the end to help cool down.
