Sports Specific Training at Next Level Athletics

No two athletes are alike—and no two training programs should be either. That’s the foundation of sports specific training at Next Level Athletics.

Whether you play football, soccer, baseball, or run track, your performance depends on speed, strength, agility, and recovery. At Next Level Athletics, every plan is built for your sport, your position, and your goals.

This isn’t one-size-fits-all. This is training with purpose.

Why Sports Specific Training Matters

Generic workouts won’t help you dominate your sport. Instead, you need to train the exact movements and energy systems you use in competition.

That’s where sports specific training stands out. It focuses on:

• Movement patterns used in your sport

• Energy systems (explosive, aerobic, anaerobic)

• Injury risk areas (shoulders, knees, hips)

• Seasonal training phases (preseason, in-season, offseason)

At Next Level Athletics, athletes don’t just train—they prepare to perform.

Who Is Sports Specific Training For?

At Next Level Athletics, sports specific training programs are built for:

• Youth athletes learning proper mechanics

• High school athletes preparing for college recruitment

• College athletes looking to compete at the next level

• Professionals needing injury prevention and advanced performance tools

• Multi-sport athletes balancing unique physical demands

Every program is built from the ground up. No templates—just results.

Key Elements of Sports Specific Training

1. Assessment-Based Planning

Every athlete starts with a movement screening, strength test, and performance goals review. That data builds your custom plan.

2. Position-Specific Drills

Football linemen, baseball pitchers, basketball guards—they all move differently. Training targets your role and responsibility.

3. Speed and Agility Training

Footwork, acceleration, and change-of-direction are built with game speed in mind—not generic drills.

4. Strength and Power Development

Using proven strength programs tailored to your sport and phase of competition, you’ll build power without sacrificing mobility.

5. Recovery Integration

Recovery tools and scheduling ensure athletes train hard, but not broken. Soreness and injury don’t help you get better—recovery does.
