When an athlete starts training with SST, the most common question is “Will I improve my speed?” I am honest and upfront and tell them that not everyone has the genetics to be a 100m champion. However, most athletes haven’t scratched the surface of their potential. At SST we have 4 methods to improve an athlete’s speed. If they improve one area their will be some improvement….but if they can improve them all the results are outstanding! The Four Pillars of Developing Speed include: ...

Summer football is approaching and the question everyone asks is “Can athletes continue to build muscle and strength during the playing season?” Do NFL, NCAA and CIS players’ workout during the season?

It’s the DAWG here! A couple weekends ago, I had the PVR set and my butt glued to the couch watching the show that they call the “NFL Combine”. Here in Canada, we tend to follow suit and the CFL’s version (the E-Camp) was held this past weekend in Toronto. So, sticking in the spirit of things I am going to address 3 important things the DAWG works on when trying to get one of SST’s athletes ready for a combine or any testing procedure. These may seem like simple things, but this is a HUGE job interview ...
