Speed Training to
Help Athletes Stand Out
No matter what age or sport, the top attribute for any athlete is SPEED! No athlete enjoys being a step behind, consistently missing out on loose balls, and being beat by their competition. As hard as it is for athletes, it’s even harder for parents to watch their child fall behind, ultimately losing confidence and feeling defeated.
The youth sports world is NOISY & filled with conflicting advice, leaving athletes and parents unsure of which direction to take. At APEX PWR, we streamline the athlete development process through proven speed training programs – from ages 8+, in any sport – to build confident, resilient athletes that stand out from their competition. Parents, you can finally feel relaxed that your athlete is in the right place, taking bold, supported steps to becoming their unstoppable self

It's Time to Stand Out From the Competition

FAQ - Athlete Development Program:
Start with a FREE consultation with our customer success team to establish the best route for your athlete. If the injury is limiting performance or participation, then starting with a 1 on 1 sports physical therapy evaluation would be best. From there, our expert sports physical therapists can outline the best blend of physical therapy and speed + strength training.
No! There are different workouts available 6 days per week to provide your athlete with flexibility to maintain consistent training as school and sport's schedules change.
Our program is modeled after division 1 collegiate athlete programs and pro athlete programs with similar structure and most importantly, progression over the summer. This program is designed by and coached by doctors of physical therapy and strength and conditioning specialists to ensure your athlete has qualified and well trained eyes on them every workout. We want your athlete to be properly exposed to the basics and progressions that they can expect at a higher level. Obviously, with our younger 8-13 age group, this will be much more scaled down for their age and ability, but have a similar foundation. It will also be centered around making training fun (as opposed to feeling forced leading to burn out) & building a broad, general athletic foundation so they're ready for any sport they choose later.
This is also a PROGRAM, not just general workouts here and there. With a PROGRAM, there are progressions. We have different phases planned for your athlete that they will move thru during the summer. This ensures gains in strength, speed, jumping and more!
YES! Our workouts help increase mobility, flexibility and stability. This will be achieved through various exercises and movements from a dynamic warm up to start to an active cool down to finish. Most importantly, your youth athlete will learn what they can be doing at home to continue their improvement on the days they're not at APEX.
A result of strength and conditioning, with plyometric training incorporated in, is the ability to jump higher and further. We will also be testing vertical jumping at the start and end of the program to track progress. With our programs, you can expect your child to jump higher, but training safely to improve overall athleticism as well.
No matter the sport, training the fast twitch muscle groups will help an athlete get faster. We emphasize training both fast and slow twitch throughout every session to help improve speed, agility, strength, explosion, balance and more. We will also be testing starting acceleration and other metrics at the start and end of the program to track progress.
All of our workouts & programs involve strength training. The difficulty & progression is different for each age group. We aim to build strength for athletes because it is a foundational element of increasing performance and decreasing injury risk.
Based on our practice of physical therapy here at APEX (that’s actually how we started our business!), we focus on core components of fundamental strength training which reduces the risk of injury by building the muscular system to better support the body. There is a massive crossover between sports performance and physical therapy training, sports performance is just the next level of the work you would do in a physical therapy session with us. Most of our patients treat their physical therapy with us as a workout, getting the best results for their effort. This also helps to reduce the risk of overtraining.
Soccer athletes have one of the highest risks of ACL and knee injuries. This is THE BEST environment to help your soccer athlete decrease their injury risk, while still making improvements to their overall athletic ability.
