DIVE FITNESS
Where we capture & build every athletes mind & body!

DIVE’s Mission

To embrace the Dreams in every individual, to Inspire a culture of doer’s, to Vision our own individual greatness & to have Excellence in all areas of life. DIVE IN!

Example Training Session

A typical training session is 1 hour and 15 minutes. I break 75 minutes into three 25 minutes phases.

Phase 1 (Specific Warm Up 25 Minutes)

By definition (specific warm up) means low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow.

Intensity: HIGH
Reason: Warm up deep muscle tissues

• Foam roll & stretch, it’s very important to properly stretch the muscles & tendons before explosive training. (10 minutes)
• Running techniques & form training. Examples high knees, A-skips, quick feet, butt kicks, karaoke, walking lunges, 5 yards burst, bounds, deg leg, one foot hops, straight legs (marching bands). (15 minutes)

Benefits and effects of a warm up
• Increased heart rate & respiratory rate
o This increases the cardio respiratory system capacity to perform work
Increased tissue temperature
o Increases rate of muscle contraction
o Increase efficiency of opposing muscle contraction & relaxation

Phase 2 (Plyometric Training, Speed training & Football Specific Drills 25 minutes)

By definition plyometric reactive training are exercise that generate quick, powerful movements involving an explosive concentric muscle contraction preceded by an eccentric muscle action. Basically it’s the process in which the muscle & movement goes from declaration to acceleration.

By definition speed is the ability to move the body in one intended direction as fast as possible.

Every drill will include a football & or football specific movements to prepare athletes for game time situations. All drills & movements will be tailored to player’s position.

Intensity: High & Explosive
Reason: Builds & refines fast twitch muscles

Plyometric movements (10 Minutes)

• Box jumps
• Power up’s
• Tuck jump
• Squat Jump to sprint
• Jump from box to ground to full speed sprint
• Mulitplanar jump with stabilization
• Single leg power step up
• Ice skaters
• Directional bunny hops
• Bunny hops

Speed training exercises (15 Minutes)

• 5-10-5 drill
• Modified reaction box drill
• Reaction T-Drill
• L.E.F.T Drill
• Box drill
• 5 yard sprints
• 10 yard directional sprints
• 5 yard directional sprints
• Flying 30’s
• Whistle accelerators

Phase 3 (Dynamic Balance Training & Combine Training 25 Minutes)

Intensity: Medium
Reason: Controlled balance creates muscle stability

By definition dynamic balance is the ability to move and change direction under various conditions without falling.
• This essential because your son is at a college camp for high school athletes, his positions coach is running the L drill. This drill entails many speed turns & cuts; this is when dynamic balance comes in its what defines a scholarship athlete from a walk on. When the average athlete would stumble your body is able to adjust & be in positions to make the necessary movements.

Dynamic Balance Training (15 minutes)

• Balance training should stress an individual’s limit of stability or balance threshold. This includes functional movements while balancing in a controlled environment.
o Single leg balance
o Single leg balance reach
o Single leg hip rotation
o Single leg lift & chop
o Single leg throw & catch
o Single leg squat
o Single leg squat touchdown
o Singe leg Romanian deadlights
o Mulitplanar step up to balance
o Multiplanar single leg box hop with stabilization

We will use the ground as our surface to build the foundation. With every movement the athlete will have to catch a football, tennis ball or golf ball. By doing this we are building our motor skills while on unfamiliar or unstable surfaces. All these exercises are the core elements to gaining true balance & muscle stability.

Combine Training (10 Minutes)

• Combine training is essential for any athlete who aspires to play college or professional sports. This training includes forty-yard dash, 5-10-5 & vertical. These three events can get you noticed & your first college offer or pro contract! We will work on the detail of each event so that our body can work as efficiently as possible. If we can move efficiently while maintaining relaxed muscles then we have a chance to perform at peak levels. The goal of DIVE FITNESS is to capture & build every athletes mind & body.
