Our
Philosophy
At
Infinity
Fitness and Sports Institute (IFSI)
we recognize
the need to prepare today’s athlete for his or her
particular sport (s). Because there is a high demand for
this particular type of instruction, there are many
philosophies out there on the "how to’s" of athletic
performance training. Although many of us in the field
of performance training have read the same books and
taken the same courses, the public may get confused with
how each philosophy may differ. The one thing that
remains constant in this field of performance training
is that "most" programs yield results. This is the
wonderful short-term benefit to exercising, especially
with young athletes when developing strength, speed and
quickness. However, we believe there are aspects that
cannot be overlooked, such as age, hormones, gender and
injury status, to name a few. Not only do we view the
short-term potential for results, but the long term
benefits of following a systematic protocol that looks
at injury reduction first and optimum performance
second.
We realize the importance of scientific
researched-based training protocols. Based on this, we
structure our Performance Training Model to
progressively and systematically put our athletes
through a results-oriented training program.
IFSI believes that a
program’s successful outcome lies in 2 factors. The
first is that a program is only as good as the
athlete’s assessment and two; persistent
execution of a well-planned protocol will yield
positive results. To properly and safely progress an
athlete(s), they must be first assessed.
 Our Medical and
Performance Enhancement staff first assesses each
athlete for kinetic chain imbalances and reviews past
injuries and present physical status. This information
advises us on what protocol is needed for each
athlete/team. Whether we are working with a team, small
group, or an individual, all must go through 3 phases of
training depending on what part of the meso-cycle the
athlete is in. These 3 phases are stabilization,
strength and power. It is based on a very successful
model put in place by the
National Academy of Sports
Medicine, a highly respected leader in our industry.
IFSI
believes that our "sport" of athletic
performance training should be done
all-year round.
That doesn’t mean everyday; however, to improve overall
athleticism, you must play this type of "sport." An anonymous
individual once said, "As an Athlete, you may only have
one moment to shine, but you have everyday to prepare
for it." We, at IFSI,
emphatically believe, to reach your potential, the
combination of a dedicated athlete and a knowledgeable
performance training staff is the ultimate TEAM that can
make your dreams come true.
