Speed, Strength and Conditioning
"Speed Kills, Strength Dominates"
Golden West College Strength and Conditioning Program is designed to help each athlete reach his fullest potential as a football player through the entities of strength and conditioning. Success is achieved through a well-designed strength/conditioning program that is well coached. The primary focus of our program is POWER. No matter how strong a football player, unless force can be applied and delivered quickly, it is worthless on the field of play. Our program is based on Olympic style lifts and Core strength lifts. These exercises are free-weight, ground based, multi-joint, multi-muscle lifts requiring the production of speed and force against the ground. The goal is to develop this power in the weight room and have it transfer to competition.
