Recruiting Tip #8
Parents, this is your child's journey. Let them take the reigns in the process. Let them falter a bit. We have a staff who will catch them and get them back on track. Be supportive and push them to do it themselves.

Agility & Strength Program |
Single Leg Front Box Squat
This is a great movement to improve upper back and quad strength. Using the box helps modify the angle of the hip and knee joint. This exercise is used to build unilateral leg strength. A front squat position will help improve the T-Spine extension in the knee dominant movements. The box is a useful tool acting as a safety spot to reach protecting the knee from going below 90 degress.
