What is the New England Sports Performance Institute?
NESPI is a coalition between Star Hill Family Athletic Center, Accelerated Fitness Solutions, Select Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine & Othopedic Surgery. NESPI has been developed to help athletes achieve their goals. Specifically, NESPI's speed and strength clinics will help athletes improve their performance, and find and fix problems before any possible debilitation. Atheletes will get faster, stronger and be less prone to injuries. The institute will educate families and athletes about trends and strategies as well as present opportunities to hear first hand, outcomes of scientific study in non scientific terms. The use of aquatic modalities will augment current rehab, strength and conditioning and speed and agility strategies in fascinating ways. NESPI will not just “see” the athlete, it will carry them.
NESPI Speed & Agility , Strength & Power Clinics
Over the course of our 6 week clinics (12- 1 and a 1/4 hour classes), we’ve designed a program to focus on the improvement of speed and agility and strength and power. The goal is for our athletes to improve their strength and power, speed and agility while preparing for or augmenting their sports season.
Each athlete will be required to first register for the 2-hour "Technical Assessment". During the first hour of the assessment, Select Physical Therapy will take each athlete through a Functional Movement Screen to look for muscular or structural issues that need to be addressed prior to starting the clinics. During the second hour, baseline testing (40-yard dash, vertical jump, T-test, etc...) will also be performed, along with technical instruction in dynamic warm-up and proper running mechanics. The Technical Assessment is only required once, or upon dramatic physical changes in size and shape.
Once the athletes have completed the technical assessment, they will join the 6 week (12 class) speed & strength clinics and will start to learn and perfect advanced, multi-joint exercises that will develop power, speed, and strength in a sport-specific environment. Through these power movements, athletes will develop the understanding of sport-specific lifts and the importance of muscular development in relation to their sports performance. Led by a group of speed and agility coaches that have worked with many youth, collegiate and professional sports programs, the program is catered to fostering the improvement of fitness levels in a positive environment. Register early, class maximun is 9 atheletes. The fees for the NESPI are as follows:
