Strength & Conditioning at Berkshire is offered as an afternoon program in the fall and winter seasons, incorporated into teams pre and in season plans, as well as consultation offered on an individual basis. Within all of these options, plans are designed with safety and injury prevention as a starting place, focusing on mobility and stability proficiency. Once these movement based skills are demonstrated, plans move into functional strength, power, agility, and speed exercises. Throughout all training, technique, recovery, nutrition, hydration, and mindfulness/awareness are brought into the learning as essential elements for growth and striving towards goals set.
