Internship Guidelines | Jeff Butler | Payne Kesler | Cheyenne Talmadge
The primary objective of Northern Colorado Sports Performance is to aid each Northern Colorado student-athlete in reaching their full athletic potential through a comprehensive approach to training. This approach will not only improve the student-athlete's performance but will also reduce the possibility of injury to musculature areas prone to injury. Training regimens will also take into consideration specific energy systems, specific movements and specific agilities to each of the Bears' 19 intercollegiate sports.Â
An array of training modalities will be employed to enhancement each student-athlete's abilities. In addition, various types of the periodization concept as well as a multitude of lifting techniques and exercises will be used in creating specific programs for each specific sport as well as personalized programs where needed.
Linear and lateral speed, agility, range of motion, strength, power, and work threshold will be developed in every Northern Colorado student-athlete. Mental toughness will also be derived out of the workouts in order to improve the student-athlete's concentration and resolve to triumph even when faced with a discouraging situation.
Mental toughness, drive and accountability will be derived over the course of the student-athletes' collegiate career. Physical improvement will be evident as will the resolve to be successful in all aspects of life.
