Strength & Conditioning

We are committed in providing a structured environment geared towards developing our student-athletes physically and mentally to compete at the highest level on and off the field.  Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment in which we motivate, build confidence, promote learning from experience, and instill hard working values so that our student-athletes are equipped to persevere through any obstacles they may encounter.  

The primary goal of our program is to develop areas of strength, power, energy system development and joint integrity through a ground-based, multi-joint movement approach. Our hierarchical progression system allows us to manipulate programming designed for sport-specific training.  That said, we place much more priority on the ability to build relative strength versus absolute strength numbers alone.  We take pride in our unwavering cohesion with the athletic training staff to administer individual student-athlete needs for recovery.  Return to play rehabilitation programs will be installed so that athletes can work towards being cleared to resume competition.

We take pride in adopting a transformational coaching style for our athletic population at Bishop Amat High School.  This coaching style has been more of a positive influence with both past and present student-athletes.  Providing instruction, discipline and goal setting expectations needed to be met as a team is vital for team growth.    

Bishop Amat High School is proud to integrate a Human Performance developmental program dedicated to all of our athletic programs.  Student-athletes will progress through an exercise hierarchy of multiple joint, ground based movements ranging from Level I to Level IV levels of exercise difficulty and coordination. With an understanding of the multiple stressors involved in human athletic performance and the physical demands of each sport, our year-round strength and conditioning program aims to build bullet proof joint integrity, better tissue quality through progressive external load and recovery protocols to prepare the body for the next training stimulus.  Following this approach alongside an educational component of proper exercise execution, a foundation will be established that will allow our student-athletes to better express strength and power qualities.
