Eastern University Strength and Conditioning

Eastern University Strength and Conditioning

Mission Statement
The Eastern University Strength and Conditioning Program gives each student athlete the opportunity to enhance and maximize their athletic potential. This will be achieved by administering safe, progressive and effective training programs backed by scientific principles. The strength staff will also provide continuous development of the student athlete during and after their playing careers both athletically and personally. The strength staff will provide a culture of accountability, respect, work ethic, commitment to self and team, and service for others.
Principal Based Approach
The Eastern University Sports Performance Program is based on sound scientific principles of strength and conditioning as opposed to one set philosophy.  Philosophies and approaches change and can vary from time to time, but solid principles backed in science will allow our staff to deliver safe, effective and comprehensive training programs.  These principles will include the following:
  1.  Overload: Challenging the body to do more work to stimulate adaptation.
  2. Progression: systematically and incrementally overloading the body to develop the desired physical qualities for sport.  
  3. Comprehensive/Balanced Development: Developing every major and minor muscle group to its full potential.  Also, developing a balanced approach to strength, conditioning, speed/agility, plyometric and flexibility training for optimal athletic performance and overall athlete health.
  4.  Perfect Technique:  We will strive for deliberate, reproducible execution and technique in all prescribed exercises in the sports performance program.
  5.  Variety: Make the workouts more fun.  Break up the monotony of the training process.  
  6.  Coaching:  All athletes will be coached as opposed to supervised. Our staff will coach technique and effort for all prescribed workouts.  
  7. Specificity:  Workouts will be designed for the physiological demands of that athlete’s sport.  
  8. Periodization:  Manipulating overload, intensity, volume and effort throughout the year to ensure long-term development.
  9.  Evaluation:  Continuous monitoring of the current progress of the student athlete/team will allow our coaches to manipulate the training variables for continued development.
