PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

"Train the body, teach the mind"

The quote summarizes the philosophy of the Coastal Carolina Strength and Conditioning Program. The program is designed to help each team/individual reach his/her fullest potential as an athlete through the entities of strength and conditioning. Success is achieved through a well-designed performance enhancement program that is well coached and positively reinforced by the strength and conditioning staff. It is the methods not the exercises that will effectively enhance performance. Athletes will be challenged to work hard and give their maximum effort in training in order to reach their full potential. The difference between a successful and unsuccessful program is often how well each coach prepares, both mentally and physically, every athlete in his or her program.

PROGRAM GOALS
