Following the success of
Excelsior's previous Athlete Development programmes, the Sports Park on the
University of Exeter's Streatham Campus, will again play host to a dedicated
Athlete Support day on 25 July. The fifth in a series of events run by the performance
training specialists Excelsior, the workshop is designed will provide essential
training advice for up and coming athletes age 13 years and over.
Part of the newly formed Excelsior Athletic Development Centre's core programme, the four hour event will feature speed training, resistance training, pre-season advice and athlete re-generation tips. Organiser James Marshall commented: "Getting the most out of training is incredibly important for athletes looking to take their sport to the next level. Our sessions aim to offer practical advice to young people that they can away with them and to work into their daily routine, not matter what sport they take part in.
"The sessions are designed to be beneficial
to athletes in all sports, the only criteria for entry being that players must
regularly take part in two sports."
Excelsior has an impressive record of performance training with Paralympians, international athletes and the Exeter Chiefs Rugby Academy all benefitting from their support.
James added "The University of Exeter have
recognised the need for quality support and advice for young people who are
aspiring to join their High Performance Programme. That is why they
have kindly supported the Athletic Development Centre. The facilities at the Sports Park are
ideal for this kind of training and when millimetres and split seconds separate
champions from the 'Also rans' it's important that those with serious intent
have specific advice, support and guidance with their Athletic Development
programmes. "
The four hour session will take place on Tuesday 16 July at the Sports Park. For further information contact James Marshall at james@excelsiorgroup.co.uk
