ASDC Programs & Services
Strength & Conditioning
A proper strength and conditioning program is essential for athletes who want to enhance their performance and reduce their risk of injury.
Athletic performance is based on a number of skills that can be developed through a sports conditioning program. Through ambitious goal setting an athlete can achieve their true potential.
Individual Training
Team Training
Performance Testing
Performance testing including Aerobic testing, anaerobic testing, balance, speed, agility, strength and power are all assessments that are very applicable and relevant to high performing athletes.
We offer performance testing for teams and individuals both as a baseline and as a follow up to specific training programs.

Mental Performance Training
Mental toughness and preparedness can be the difference between an athlete and their competition. Breaking through mental barriers to achieve peak performance can be a game-changer.

Sport Nutrition
Nutrition is a critical part of an athlete’s life. The choices you make every day about what and how much to eat are amplified when those choices directly impact sport performance, training, and recovery.
Through our Winners Edge seminars, we will educate athletes on the proper nutrition necessary to eat well, recover well and meet peak performance goals.
