Performance Services


These services are available to all athletes and coaches that currently do not receive support through our Performance Programs. The ASDC – Capital Region has developed a team of professionals who can provide enhanced sport science and sport medicine services to all athletes and coaches.

Athletes will have the opportunity to work with professionals who will collaborate, cooperate and facilitate services to ensure a comprehensive approach for athletes to realize their full athletic potential.

 

The following areas of discipline will be the focus of ASDC – Capital Region.


Strength & Conditioning

Elite athletes strive to perform at their optimum several times throughout the year in order to peak at major events. Our leading strength & conditioning coaches ensure that the athletes remain competitive by identifying and measuring the physiological characteristics involved in particular sports, and by developing effective yearly training programs to improve the likelihood of success at specific events.


Sports Nutrition

Sound nutrition is essential in enabling athletes to perform at their best. With demanding training, travel and competition schedules, it is challenging for athletes to meet their necessary dietary requirements. Dietitians will provide nutritional guidance through computerized dietary analysis, drug and supplement awareness seminars, individual consulting and hands-on nutrition workshops to empower the athletes to make optimal choices that keep them fuelled for personal best performances.
 


Sport Psychology

Mental training is a vital component to an emerging athlete's training program. Armed with valuable mental skills, the athlete is able to demonstrate physical preparedness and attain peak performance at major events. Sport psychologists and mental trainers empower athletes by teaching and implementing essential visualization, stress management and problem-solving techniques.
