FAQ About Our Sports Performance Programs

What is sports performance training?

Sports performance training is a specialized training program designed to enhance an athlete’s physical abilities, optimize their performance, and reduce the risk of injuries in their specific sport or athletic discipline.

Who can benefit from sports performance training?

Sports performance training is beneficial for athletes of all levels, ranging from beginners to professionals. It can be tailored to the specific needs and goals of individuals participating in various sports, including team sports, individual sports, and even recreational activities.

What are the key components of a sports performance training program?

A sports performance training program typically focuses on improving areas such as strength, power, speed, agility, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. It may include a combination of resistance training, cardiovascular exercises, plyometrics, speed and agility drills, mobility work, and sport-specific skill development.

How long does a sports performance training program usually last?

The duration of a sports performance training program can vary depending on factors such as the athlete’s goals, sport, current fitness level, and the specific training cycle. Programs can range from a few weeks to several months, with periodic assessments and adjustments to ensure continual progress.

Is sports performance training only for competitive athletes?

No, sports performance training can benefit individuals participating in any level of athletic activity. It primarily serves youth athletes, high-school and collegiate athletes, as well as professional athletes.

Will sports performance training make me bulk up?

The goal of sports performance training is not solely focused on bulking up. Instead, it aims to improve overall athletic performance, which may involve increasing strength, power, speed, or endurance depending on the specific sport. The training program can be customized to align with an individual’s goals, whether that involves building muscle, increasing speed, or improving other performance-related aspects.

How often should I participate in sports performance training sessions?

The frequency of training sessions can vary depending on factors such as the athlete’s goals, sport, and current fitness level.

Can sports performance training help prevent injuries?

Yes, sports performance training programs are designed to enhance an athlete’s overall physical capabilities, including strength, stability, and flexibility, which can help reduce the risk of injuries. Proper technique, warm-up routines, and targeted exercises aimed at improving movement patterns and muscular imbalances are commonly included in these programs to promote injury prevention.

Will sports performance training affect my game-specific skills?

Yes, sports performance training can complement and enhance an athlete’s game-specific skills. While the primary focus is on developing physical attributes, the training program can also incorporate sport-specific drills, coordination exercises, and simulated game scenarios to improve an athlete’s skill execution, decision-making, and overall performance in their sport.

Do I need a professional coach or trainer for sports performance training?

While it’s not mandatory, working with a qualified coach or trainer who specializes in sports performance training can be highly beneficial. They can provide expertise, guidance, and tailored programming to help you reach your athletic goals more effectively, optimize your training, and ensure proper technique and injury prevention.

Dr Sharon was diligent in dealing with my back and neck issues. She increased my mobility tremendously and the home exercises she gave me did wonders for my golf game and general health. I want to continue a program to increase my mobility even more and enjoy the benefits of painless activities. Her program has done wonders

In September 2022 I had a complex shoulder surgery and began a regimen of physical therapy with Dr. Sharon Sims of Back in Motion here in Verandah. I can only say that today I’m in better physical shape then I’ve been in years. By following her treatment plan I’m able to play “pain free golf” a couple of time a week and participate in fitness activities -- pickleball is next on my list. It wasn’t easy, requiring a lot of work, but it paid off. Thanks Dr. Sharon.I have been seeing Dr. Sharon for a few weeks. After the 2nd visit the severe lower back pain was alleviated. So much so that I have been able to resume golf with much better swing ( although that's not saying much LoL).If you need physical therapy this is the place and she is the right doctor.Be prepared to work hard. If you follow directions you'll be satisfied.

Dr. Sharon is a miracle worker! I ended up with nerve damage after a partial knee replacement and was very slow to recover. Dr. Sharon kept me motivated even though I was not seeing immediate improvement. I kept at it and she has helped me build back my quad strength and range of motion. She noticed I also had some back issues and the orthopedic inserts she recommended for me are really alleviating my back pain and helping me with my gait. I also tried dry needling and that also helped relieve pain and helped with my range of motion. My surgeon said it could take up to a year for my nerves to regenerate and I plan on continuing to see Dr. Sharon until I reach my goal of walking without a limp and being able to resume an active lifestyle. Dr. Sharon was able to adapt exercises so that I could feel that I was improving and her vast experience in the field was obvious. I strongly recommend Dr. Sharon for both flexibility and pain treatment as well as post operative care. She is the best!

Sharon is an excellent physical therapist, highly competent, professional and personable! She has been helping me with both my shoulder and my back. I am now comfortably walking, doing the elliptical and biking, and will be golfing and playing pickleball soon. Thanks so much!

I attended an arthritis discovery seminar by Dr. Sharon Sims and found it very informative. I booked my first appointment for an evaluation and the office staff made the process extremely easy and more importantly, efficient! Dr. Sharon's diagnosis was thorough and a treatment plan immediately put into place and future appointments booked. I feel much better after just 4 appointments. Thank you, Dr. Sharon and Back in Motion! Highly recommend!

I suffered a stroke in early October 2021. The stroke mostly resulted in numbness and loss of sensory perception on my left side. However, Dr. Sharon pointed out that it also involved some loss of some motor skills along with a weakened sense of balance.Dr. Sharon has been working with me not only in strengthening my left side but also increasing my sense of balance which has definitely improved over the last several weeks. My golf game has also improved as a result of the therapy.Dr. Sharon’s diagnostic and evaluation skills are exceptional along with her ability to arrive at a treatment plan that has reduced some of the damage from my stroke. I highly recommend Dr. Sharon and am thankful for the physical therapy which she has provided.Thanks,Gary C. Reich D.D.S. ( retired)
