STRENGTH & CONDITIONING TRAINING

43 Hoops Basketball Academy's Strength and Conditioning Training Program focuses on maximizing each athlete's strength and cardiovascular condition. Each 55-minute session includes:

Specific exercises designed to increase the athlete’s stamina, core and body stabilization.
An emphasis on lightweight high repetition lifting to increase muscle endurance.
Plyometric training designed to improve the athlete’s explosiveness, speed, footwork, and agility.

Athletes who fully engage themselves in this program will be able to perform at a high level for a longer period of time, separating themselves from the other athletes in their play.

Our primary Strength and Conditioning trainer is Gwen Young, an NCSF certified personal trainer with a B.A. in Kinesiology and an M.A. in Organizational Management from Concordia University in St. Paul. Gwen was also a basketball player there for 3 years and before that won a Junior College national championship at Anoka Ramsey Community College.
