The Critical Role of Sport Performance Training for High School Athletes: Building Champions While Preventing Injuries

High school represents a pivotal window of opportunity in athletic development. During these formative years, young athletes possess unique physiological advantages that make them prime candidates for significant gains in strength, speed, and conditioning. However, without proper guidance through structured sport performance training, these athletes may miss this crucial developmental window or develop movement patterns that increase their risk of injury.[1] The Foundation of Athletic Excellence Sport performance training for high school athletes extends far beyond simply improving game statistics—it builds a comprehensive foundation for lifelong fitness, injury prevention, and peak athletic achievement. Unlike traditional high school sports programs that focus primarily on skill development and team building, dedicated performance training addresses what Athletic Lab identifies as the three pillars of athletic excellence: speed development, strength training, and conditioning.[1] The Speed Development Advantage Speed training encompasses much more than running fast in a straight line. For high school athletes, comprehensive speed development includes acceleration and deceleration mechanics, multi-directional agility, and reaction time improvement. These skills translate directly to better defensive positioning, more effective offensive moves, and reduced injury risk during unpredictable game scenarios.[1] Speed training for youth athletes should follow a whole-part-whole rhythm, allowing athletes to express speed naturally, then focusing on specific technical elements before testing transfer through competition. This approach ensures that speed gains are both measurable and applicable to sport-specific situations.[2] Strength Training: The Performance Foundation Resistance training has emerged as a cornerstone of youth athletic development, with compelling evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness. A comprehensive systematic review published in Sports Health found that resistance training among at-risk youth populations can reduce injury risk by up to 68% while simultaneously improving sports performance and health measures.[3] The American Academy of Pediatrics [...]

Introduction to Cueing: The Frans Bosch Method by Hanna Cabrera

[This is a guest post by Hanna Cabrera. Hanna is a recent Exercise Science graduate from UNC Charlotte. She is passionate about strength and conditioning and enhancing sports performance through evidence-based coaching. She is currently taking part in the Athletic Lab Coaching Mentorship Program.] Frans Bosch is a Dutch sports scientist, author, and renowned coach recognized for his innovative approach to athletic performance, particularly in the areas of biomechanics, motor learning, and strength training. He has lectured in motor learning and biomechanics at Fontys University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands and has coached elite athletes across multiple sports, including track and field, rugby, soccer, and baseball [1]. Throughout his career, Bosch has challenged traditional strength and conditioning practices that focus on isolated muscle training and strict technical instruction. He promotes a systems-based approach that emphasizes coordination, variability, and adaptability [1,2]. He believes these qualities are essential for developing athletes who can perform effectively in unpredictable, real-world environments. His work has inspired coaches to rethink how they teach movement, highlighting that athletic success depends not only on physical strength but also on the ability to coordinate and adapt efficiently under pressure [1]. Building Athlete Independence Bosch’s coaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of aligning feedback with the athlete’s developmental stage and the specific demands of the sport [1,2]. He believes that athletes develop a stronger sense of self-efficacy when they are given the freedom to explore movement challenges independently rather than relying too heavily on instruction. This approach encourages athletes to take ownership of their learning process and ultimately build confidence in their ability to problem-solve during performance. By creating space for exploration, athletes learn to self-organize and discover efficient movement solutions on their own. Understanding [...]

How Will AI Become a Sports Science Tool? by Sims Setser

[This is a guest blog by Sims Setser. Sims is pursuing a BS in Kinesiology, while completing a Sports Science and Performance Coaching Mentorship at Athletic Lab.] The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries across the board, and sports science is no exception. From performance analysis to injury prevention and rehabilitation, AI holds significant potential to revolutionize the way athletes are trained and managed. By leveraging big data and machine learning algorithms, sports scientists can offer deeper insights into an athlete's performance, health, and overall well-being, leading to more personalized and effective training programs. However, AI’s rapid adoption also brings challenges, including data privacy risks, ethical concerns, and financial barriers that may limit accessibility. The Intersection of AI and Sports Science Sports science has traditionally relied on the combination of empirical research and practical experience to improve athletic performance. However, with the massive amounts of data now being generated by wearables, video analysis, and other technology, analyzing and interpreting this data can be an overwhelming task. This is where AI steps in. Machine learning algorithms can process vast quantities of information, detecting patterns and relationships that might not be immediately apparent to humans. In doing so, AI can enhance traditional sports science methods by making them more precise and efficient. Performance Monitoring and Enhancement One of the most exciting areas where AI is expected to make a significant impact is in performance monitoring and enhancement. Traditionally, sports scientists would analyze an athlete’s performance based on a combination of manual observation, video footage, and periodic testing. With AI, this can be taken to a whole new level. Advanced AI-driven systems can now analyze movement patterns in real-time, using data from wearable devices, GPS systems, and [...]

The Importance of Neurocognitive Tasks in Day to Day Sport Practice by Kat Perille

[This is a guest blog by Katherine Perille. Kat holds an MS in Kinesiology with a concentration in biomechanics. She is completing a Sports Science Mentorship at Athletic Lab.] Current training programs and sport practices focus solely on skill development and neuromuscular training; however, there is something to be said about adding neurocognitive tasks to day-to-day sport practice. According to Dr. Michele LaBotz, the goal of neuromuscular training is to improve muscular strength and connections, increase awareness of an individual’s technique and the ways in which their bodies move [1]. Neuromuscular training is also all about improving performance while lowering injury risk. All ages and all levels can benefit from neuromuscular training where agility, balance, and speed are emphasized [1]; however, there is another element that can be added that can be beneficial for athlete’s performance and injury reduction rates: neurocognitive training. During game-like conditions, an athlete does not have the time or mental capacity to focus strictly on performing a run-to-cut maneuver. Their attention is on what is going on around them and less on what is happening to them. There is little to no ability to ensure proper running and cutting movement. If you were to think about a soccer game… you have the ball and there is an oncoming defender. You need to make the decision of whether you are going to cut around the defender or pass the ball. During this time, you may be getting verbal cues from your teammates telling you where to go and/or where to pass the ball. You are thinking about everything around you except the proper way to perform a safe and efficient run-to-cut maneuver. The integration of neuromuscular and neurocognitive training can better prepare [...]

A Closer Look at Heart Rate Variability by Gaby Smith

[This is a guest blog by Gaby Smith. Gaby Smith completed her MS in Exercise Science at Northeastern University and is participating in the Athletic Lab Mentorship Program. Gaby is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and holds certifications with U.S. Soccer, USAW, and USTFCCCA.] Resting, exercise, and recovery heart rates are common measures used to monitor fatigue, fitness, and performance responses and are often used to adjust training load. Recently, heart rate variability (HRV) has become a measure more commonly used to assess an athlete's readiness to perform and ensure the appropriate dose of training (ie. preventing overtraining or detraining). Generally, training load is quantified by external and internal indicators of intensity along with training time. External indicators may include distance, power output, or number of repetitions, while internal indicators include oxygen uptake, heart rate, blood lactate, or RPE (Buchheit, 2014). When it comes to monitoring and measuring athletes? fatigue, heart rate (HR) measures are commonly used because they are inexpensive, time efficient, and can be applied routinely and simultaneously with many athletes. Resting HR, exercise HR, and HRV are all related to autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and their use in combination may improve the monitoring of the training status of athletes. While there are a number of HR measures that can be used to assess an athlete's training status, it is of utmost importance that whatever measure is used, it is standardized in order to isolate the training-induced effects (Buccheit, 2014). Physiological determinants of resting HR include cardiac muscle morphology, ANS activity, body position, and plasma volume (Buccheit, 2014). Best practice recommends the athlete measure resting HR upon waking up in the morning from a supine, seated, or standing position - but [...]

Applying GPS Technologies to Team Sports (Part 2) by Vanessa Batchelor

At Athletic Lab, we use GPS tracking as part of our player monitoring toolkit with multiple teams to assess player readiness, manage training load, and reduce injuries. [Vanessa Batchelor, MS is a coach at Athletic Lab and the Director of Sports Science for NC Courage Academy] Connecting the Dots Athletic Lab uses GPS technology in our use with the North Carolina Courage. Sports coaches, performance coaches, and sports medicine professionals often work directly with athletes to ensure safe, effective training methods. In many circumstances, having great success can push the boundaries of performing in ideal, safe conditions. GPS technology provides further understanding of the relationship between internal and external loads for use according to each profession's obligations. Having access to an objective source of information, such as GPS data, can keep those calling the shots on the same page. Common goals of athletic teams typically include improving sport-related physical capabilities, decreasing the likelihood of injury, and maximizing the length and productivity of athletic careers (Valle, 2018). Although these commonalities unite the team's staff, the process of achieving success isn't so easily agreed upon. GPS data creates an opportunity for succinct training plans according to the importance of each goal, as the hierarchy shifts throughout the season. Using GPS Data as a Sports Coach Although the responsibilities of a sports coach revolve around analyzing relevant skill and developing athletic potential, proper team management is often the bone structure of any successful squad. GPS is a tool designed to collect and organize player output, so the coach produces competent, informed decisions with evidence of intensity and capacity in mind. The ability to accurately monitor and manipulate the fluctuations of daily practice intensities can efficiently increase [...]

Applying GPS Technologies to Team Sports (Part 1) by Vanessa Batchelor

At Athletic Lab, we use GPS tracking as part of our player monitoring toolkit with multiple teams to assess player readiness, manage training load, and reduce injuries. [Vanessa Batchelor, MS is a coach at Athletic Lab and the Director of Sports Science for NC Courage Academy] Global Positioning System (GPS) Performance Tracking Technology As a seemingly convenient and modern piece of technology, global positioning systems (GPS) derived from the early 1940s invention of the atomic clock. Thus, through multiple-satellite communication with the GPS device, displacement over a given time can calculate the velocity of the movement performed. The increased interest in human locomotive studies of steady-state movement over the years has led to the application of GPS to field sports, beginning as recently as 2006 (Aughey, 2011). This evolution of technology has created an objective source of readily available information to the sports team and coaching staff represented by various metrics appropriate to measuring the physical requirements of sport. With hundreds of GPS trackers on the market today, most will be able to provide similar key metrics, such as: total distance, meters per minute, max speed, number of sprints, number of accelerations and decelerations, high speed running, and high metabolic load and distance. These metrics combined are able to tell the story of the athlete's work patterns and intensities during training, competition, and recovery. Deciphering accumulated data can result in feeling extremely overwhelmed and confused, especially if the user is unaccustomed to such sport science technology. Understanding the numerous purposes GPS technology provides can be a time-consuming experience, but the benefits ensure worthwhile rewards for all parties involved. Understanding GPS Data Relatively The GPS data collected within a sports team is interpreted with relativity in [...]

Using Velocity to Auto-Regulate Training by Craig Kleinberg

[Craig Kleinberg is a Performance Coach at Athletic Lab where we regularly integrate Velocity Based Training] As strength and conditioning coaches, understanding how our athletes are responding is of utmost importance, namely understanding work intensity and fatigue management. There are many ways to monitor fatigue. Some are more intrusive, such as blood cortisol levels, while others, like Relative Perceived Exertion (RPE) and repetitions in reserve (RIR), are subjective and easy to assess, but leave room for high degrees of variability. One easy and objective method of monitoring that is becoming more popular is Velocity-Based Training (VBT). Researchers have been exploring the relationship between barbell velocity and its relationship to relative intensity, or percentage of 1 repetition max (1RM) for quite some time now (2, 6, 8, 10). Briefly, by determining the relationship between velocity and the percent of a 1RM, you can determine an athlete's Load-Velocity Profile (LVP). This can help prescribe relative training intensities on a given day, accounting for accumulated fatigue from previous workouts and it is the foundation on which velocity-based training is built upon. For the sake of this article, I am not going to go into much more detail on LVP, but if you would like more information on the ins-and-outs, you can find it on one of our previous blog posts here. Before moving on, there are a few considerations that should be mentioned when discussing the use of velocity-based training. First, the more individualized a LVP, the more accurate your profiles will be (4). If it isn't feasible to create a profile for each athlete, it is possible to scale the LVP based on position group, or team. Another consideration to be aware of is that velocity may [...]

Motor Learning – Part 3: Unconscious Learning by Alex Penner

[Alex Penner is the Director of Coaching & Community at Athletic Lab] A recurring theme in the previous two motor learning (part 1, part 2) blogs is the necessity of struggle during the learning process. True learning doesn't come easy, so it follows that effort is a requirement. However, when asking any current or former athlete to recall some of their greatest moments in sports, they'll often describe a feeling of "effortlessness." Ask them to recall one of their worst performances and they may describe it as "forced." It's counterintuitive that performance decrements could result from trying harder, but it appears that this notion is supported both by anecdotes and what is known about motor control. This article will aim to explain the role of unconscious processing in motor learning and performance. Basics of Motor Control First, it's necessary to have a basic understanding of how the nervous system is involved in movement. The nervous system can be thought of as the software that controls muscle action. Sensory neurons pick up information about our body and the environment, while motor neurons deliver messages to the muscles to either contract or relax. The brain is the command center where movement signals originate, with the exception of reflex arcs which go directly from the sensory neurons to the spinal cord before triggering an involuntary muscle action (Powers & Howley, 2014, pp. 146-148). Within the brain, there is just as much unconscious processing ongoing as there is conscious processing. While reading this article, you probably haven't been concentrating on breathing, but you've been doing it anyway and can control it if you choose. Alternatively, as conscious as you may be of your heart rate during times of high [...]

Post-Activation Potentiation by Austin Both

[Austin Both is the Associate Performance Director of Athletic Lab] Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a phrase and concept commonly known amongst most coaches. For athletes and other fitness enthusiasts; however, it might sound like some overly complex term used in an attempt to sound qualified. Although it sounds highly technical, its definition is relatively simple. PAP can be defined as "a phenomenon by which the force exerted by a muscle is increased due to its previous contraction" (Robbins, 2005). In practical terms, this essentially means that following a rapid and forceful contraction, you are capable of producing greater force. As a result, we can harness this effect and use it to our advantage in a multitude of ways. The first and simplest consideration would be exercise order in a session. While there are many factors that cause coaches to program power-based movements early in the session, PAP can be considered amongst them. While we want to prioritize these movements, such as weightlifting patterns, jumps, throws, swings, etc. due to cognitive demands and the quality decrement that fatigue would place upon them, they can also enhance the training that is to follow. Beginning a session with something like a clean pll or a power clean can cause a PAP effect on the ensuing lower body movements, allowing for great force production and subsequently greater strength gains. Similar to exercise order throughout a session, exercises can be advantageously paired together for a positive effect. The aim of these pairings is to elicit improved outcomes for force, power, and rate of force development, both in an acute sense and for long-term adaptations (Hodgson et al., 2005). This is generally regarded as contrast training. One such example would begin [...]

Most coaches stop sets based on how athletes look, rather than how they are actually moving. VBT allows you to set a simple cutoff by monitoring bar speed. A bar speed drop of more than 20% from the first rep is an indicator that no matter how the athlete looks or what percentage of 1RM they are supposed to be moving, that they are fatigued beyond the necessary output they need to reach the target stimulus. We shut down the set so that we don’t keep the athlete accumulating a bunch of junk reps.

Accelerative strength, strength speed, speed strength, and starting strength all live in different velocity zones. While percentage based training can target these qualities by prescribing an “ideal” load that can allow for different velocities, verifying the quality of the reps becomes a coaches visual interpretation and is subjective. Using VBT gives a clear picture of the athletes bar speed and verifies the quality of the bar speed and whether or not the target is hit on every rep.

We know there are weight room activities - squats, cleans, plyos, etc that contribute to speed development but we also know that these activities don’t come close enough to the intensity of forces and contraction speeds seen during a max velocity sprint. Therefore the best way to become faster is…..to sprint.

To reach a proper stimulus, sprinting must be done at 95%+ of the athletes max velocity. Do not confuse this with EFFORT. An athlete can be at an RPE of 10 yet not sprinting at 95%+ of their max velocity. So even if an athlete is running fast, even running as fast as they can, it doesn’t mean they are sprinting.
