High Performance Program :: HP Benefits

High Performance Benefits

Goal Setting Instruction & Monitoring — Athletes will learn to create a long term vision for both their individual and team goals. The program will develop the athlete's ability to monitor and set short term goals, which lead into the long term vision. Our coaches will continually challenge the thought process around each athlete's goal setting. Our HP program will follow the Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely goal setting concept.

Academic progress monitoring — Being strong academically affords you the time you need to train and compete. Our academic monitoring program ensures that you stay ahead and where needed study sessions and tutoring are introduced.

Competitive Experience — You need to compete to develop the 'winning attitude'. In the HP Program you will compete locally, provincially and nationally.

Seminars on nutrition and life balancing techniques — HP Athletes need to learn to balance family, friends, relationships, school and work. It is good planning and setting proper expectations that makes it all possible, a skill that is taught in the HP Program. Athletes and Parents are coached and trained in what is needed to fuel the HP Athlete. Food selection, sample menus, fast food management, preparing for a competition, and supplements are all topics that will be addressed by experts.

Mental Training — Volleyball has been said to be 90% mental, 10% physical. The Maverick HP Program addresses the much needed mental aspect of high performance with professional training sessions including visualization training and mental preparation training.

Intense Physical Strength and Endurance training — Being in top physical shape gives the HP Athlete the best opportunities to succeed. The year long training program ensures HP athletes attain and maintain top physical shape while allowing them to peak at the key times.

Technical Training — Coaches work with the team three to four practices per week, plus individual learning sessions to provide athletes the training they need to perform skills correctly and at their potential.
