At
any level of competition, athletes must possess the right physical
tools in order to compete at the next level. Athletes who have the
desire and dedication to excel will greatly benefit from a systematic
performance-training program. At the Performance Institute, our
program not only challenges athletes physically, but also builds
a foundation for success at each level of sport development.
Our
Figure Skating programs include a well-rounded Strength and Conditioning
package. Our athletic development system includes:
Plyometric and Agility Training
Core Strength
Figure Skating Specific Strength
Balance and Coordination
Cardiovascular Conditioning
Flexibility and Regeneration
Our
small group environment promotes camaraderie and spirited competition,
but more importantly, focuses on the athletes' overall physical
development and performance improvement. Being in an atmosphere
where elite and professional athletes train, our young athletes
are inspired, develop responsibility, cooperation and respect for
themselves and others.
Working
in conjunction with Joanne McLeod and the BC Centre of Excellence,
our Figure Skating programs have helped develop some of our nations
top skaters including:
Emanuel Sandhu - 3-Time National
Champion
Annie Bellemare - 2-Time National
Medalist/World Competitor
