This course is designed for male student-athletes who are actively participating in school-sponsored sports and are committed to elevating their athletic performance beyond foundational strength training. Building upon prior strength and conditioning coursework, students will engage in advanced, sport-specific training focused on maximizing strength, power, speed, agility, and overall athletic efficiency.

Instruction emphasizes advanced lifting techniques, movement mechanics, injury prevention strategies, and performance tracking. Students will analyze training cycles, apply progressive overload principles, and refine mental toughness, discipline, and leadership skills essential for competitive athletics. Conditioning programs are aligned with in-season and off-season demands to support peak performance while reducing injury risk.

This course is intended for highly motivated athletes who demonstrate consistency, accountability, and a strong work ethic and who seek to prepare for higher levels of competition at the varsity, collegiate, or elite level.

Prerequisites for this course include currently participating in a sport and actively participating in out-of-season training. Students must participate in Summer Strength and Conditioning during June and July. Students must have completed their sports season and be documented on the official roster of the sport. Incoming freshmen will need approval from the Junior High School PE instructor or the Varsity High School coach. Students must maintain a B average in the course. Students failing to maintain a B average risk being moved to a physical education class. Students unable to finish the course with a B will not be able to enroll in the course the following semester.
