Performance Training

Become more with PSM Performance

Parkview Sports Medicine's (PSM) sports performance program builds athletes through athletic development training for all ages and ability levels. Supported by PSM’s medically integrated team of certified strength and conditioning specialists, certified athletic trainers, physical therapists and the area’s only board-certified sports dietitians, we develop the whole athlete – from the foundation up.

PSM Performance offers training programs for everything from athletes in our club sports and PSM-affiliated high school teams to our high-intensity, personalized Edge program and other specialized classes.

Our performance programs foster an environment where everyone can develop. Structured programming follows a progression from teaching proper technique to maximizing speed, strength, agility and power. For both new and seasoned athletes, PSM Performance has you covered.

PSM Performance training programs

Our performance training programs all begin with a personalized, one-on-one consultation with one of our certified performance specialists. This individual consultation includes an injury risk and performance assessment, plus a discussion of your goals and sport-specific needs. Getting to know you and your goals helps us design a program that will generate results.

PSM Performance Pyramid

The PSM Performance philosophy

PSM Performance exists to improve all athletes, regardless of age, sport or skill level. We develop athletes that are foundationally strong, guided by our Long Term Athletic Development Pyramid.

Our performance programs emphasize speed, strength, agility, endurance and injury prevention based on the athlete’s age and skill level. The pyramid serves as a guideline for how our athletes train, beginning with foundational skills and building to top-end performance.

Foundational Skill Development

The building blocks of athleticism:

  • balance, flexibility, mobility, stability and coordination
  • proper running, jumping, landing and change of direction techniques
  • injury risk assessment and performance assessment
Capacity Development

The ability to perform and withstand the stress of competition:

  • learn to effectively and efficiently move your own body
  • dynamic warm-ups and movement circuits to develop relative strength
  • bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, step-ups, push-ups, rows and core training
Acute Skill Development

Producing force (acceleration) and reducing force (deceleration):

  • learn to effectively and efficiently move your own body
  • dynamic warm-ups and movement circuits to develop relative strength
  • bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, step-ups, push-ups, rows and core training
Energy System Development

Sport-specific conditioning and fitness:

  • conditioning needs for soccer are different than the needs for volleyball or baseball
  • if you’re not in shape for your sport, you can’t play to your full potential
  • emphasis on different running drills depending on the sport, position and time of year
Top-End Skill Development

Reaching the peak of athletic capability:

  • conditioning needs for soccer are different than the needs for volleyball or baseball
  • if you’re not in shape for your sport, you can’t play to your full potential
  • emphasis on different running drills depending on the sport, position and time of year
