The University of New England Strength and Conditioning Staff is committed to facilitating the personal and athletic development of each student-athlete. Participation in strength, educational and speed training sessions will provide UNE’s student-athletes with the physical, psychological and physiological tools necessary to reach their peak potential athletically, competitively and personally.
The University’s student-athletes will be prepared to compete at a high level within NCAA Division III, the Commonwealth Coast Conference, and the ECAC East League by enhancing athletic performance, while reducing the risk of injury through the purposeful application of the latest and most practical performance enhancement techniques. All student-athletes will have the opportunity to learn their Athletic Performance Profile through the systematic testing of important athletic parameters and a “ground-up” biomechanical assessment. The Strength and Conditioning Staff will individually design each team’s program to reflect the sport-specific parameters needed to compete successfully and to reduce the risk of injury inherent to the unique demands of each sport.
UNE’s student-athletes will develop and exhibit a championship attitude through the display of integrity, hard work, accountability, balance, commitment and pride. The Strength and Conditioning Staff will encourage a positive, enthusiastic and team-driven atmosphere during all training sessions. A strong emphasis will be placed upon the development of life-long skills such as goal-setting, mental rehearsal and attention to small detail. The student-athletes will train in a competitive and challenging environment that facilitates both mental and physical strength gains while making their health and safety a top priority.
