At Gorin Sports, you will experience a journey that involves facing and overcoming many challenges. Our athletic coaching programs are designed to help you face and overcome physical and mental challenges and prepare you to become a well-rounded athlete. Wondering what a well-rounded athlete looks like? Below are four key factors that determine what a well-rounded athlete should have.
Endurance
As an athlete, one of the most important qualities to have is endurance. The ability to sustain a prolonged physical or mental effort is key. This is important for both long-distance running and playing a sport where you need to be able to run for an extended period. Gorin Sports coaches work with athletes to help them build up their endurance through mobility training and strength and conditioning.
Strength
Having strength is not just a mental quality, but also a physical one. Strength is important for all athletes because it gives you the ability to apply force to overcome an object of resistance. We help athletes maintain their strength through weightlifting and plyometrics. Being strong is important for all athletes because it gives you the ability to generate and absorb maximum force when needed.
Stability
Stability does not come naturally to many, at first. Although, we start by providing athletes with a variety of methods such as balance training and core workouts to master this skill. Little by little, athletes improve their stable performance. It is also important for regular training to take place to keep your stability attribute at its best throughout your athletic career.
Mental Resilience
The fourth and final key factor is mental resilience. Athletes can work on improving or developing their mental resilience through a variety of methods such as visualization and positive self-talk. Everyone must learn to build mental resilience to be a well-rounded athlete. Being willing and open to new opportunities, training, and techniques will build this. Creating an optimistic mindset can take you a long way as an athlete.
At Gorin Sports, we take a holistic approach to developing well-rounded athletes. We’re the perfect place for those looking to develop into well-rounded athletes. Our coaches take into account all four of these key factors to provide athletes with the tools they need to succeed both on and off the field. Contact us to train with us today!
