Second, we believe in developing total body strength and core stability, targeting and training
each muscle group, minimizing weak points and preventing injury. Building total body strength
and conditioning serves as a perfect foundation to maximize athleticism. We use a variety of
training techniques from video analysis to high-level competition to ensure that we obtain
maximum results. AWP Trainers are constantly learning new techniques and educating
themselves to ensure that each AWP athlete has all the available resources to succeed.
Sports Performance Training at AWP creates a higher level of athlete. Our programs seek to
change motor behavior in athletes to help them perform at times of great physical and mental
demand. Focusing on athletes’ motor programs and correct movement patterns creates a more
efficient athlete. AWP athletes are also taken out of their comfort zone to push their abilities in
competition, changing the complexity of tasks and environment, creating well rounded athletes
that can perform at a high level in a variety of situations.
The Periodization Principle as defined by AWP
For an athlete to become faster and more agile they must become stronger, to become stronger
they must gain muscle mass, producing strength. Periodization is the process of varying a training
program at regular time intervals to bring out optimal gains in physical performance. Some proven
benefits of periodization are improved muscular endurance, strength, power, motor performance
andmuscle mass gain. Using periodizaiton, a competitive athlete is able to peak physical
performance at a particular point in time, such as for a major competition. The AWP training
programis rooted in this principle and each program is designed to help athletes peak for their
competitive seasons or events.
