The Role of a Certified Sports Performance Coach
The Sports Performance Coach is responsible for improving an athlete's athletic performance and reducing the risk of sports-related injuries. By determining the strengths and weaknesses of an athlete, a performance training program is created and implemented to improve performance and correct structural imbalances and deficiencies that lead to injury.

Athletic Skill vs. Sport-Specific Skill
Participation in sports requires both sport-specific and athletic skills. The exact amount of each is dependent on the sport and level of competition. Sport-specific skills, such as throwing for the baseball player or shooting for the lacrosse player, are required explicitly by each sport. Between tournaments, leagues, games, and practices, technical skills are, at times, practiced 5-6 days per week for the greater part of the calendar year. Athletic skills such as strength, flexibility, balance, speed, and agility are required by all sports but their role and level of importance in each sport will vary. Sports Performance training focused on the development of specific athletic skills will enhance the execution of sport-specific skills, increase sports performance and prevent injury.
