ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING The University of San Diego Ath letic Department has made a commitment to increase the athletic ability ofthe entire student- athlete popu lation. Therefore, each student-ath lete will be given a sport specific training program based on the metabolic demands of their position and sport. This is accomplished by training for the proper comb ination of power, strength, size, speed, agility, flexibility, endurance, and footwo rk. It is the responsibility of the strength and conditioing staff to design and implement workouts, teach and demonstrate proper lifting technique, and to monitor and evaluate each individual ath lete's progress, while maintaining a positive environment to train in. Along with increasing athletic abili ty, the strength staff also has the goal of decreasing athletic injuries both in and out of the athletic arena. Student-ath letes at the University of San Diego have two fac ilities in which they are allowed to train. Both faci lities contain olympic platforms, free weights, se lectorized machines, and cardio-vascular equipment. The main faci lity is the 5,000 square foot sports center weight room, which is open exclusively to student-ath letes throughout the day. The second facility, a 3,000 square foot fitness center is located within the Jenny Craig Pavilion, USD's 5, 100-seat athletic center. The goa l of the strength and conditioning department is to educate and motivate each student-athlete to maximize their genetic potential and create an environment where athletes can develop into champions both mentally and physically.
