Individualized Sports Performance Training Programs
Bystol Performance Center has been training Olympic, professional, collegiate, and high school athletes for over 25 years. Our experience has taught us that in order for an athlete to excel in sports and to minimize the risk of injury, it is critical to identify any compensation patterns an athlete has developed from their sport, as well as any structural, mechanical, and muscular imbalances that athlete may have.
Identifying these imbalances is the key to unlocking an athlete’s full genetic athletic potential, while significantly decreasing the odds of a sports-related injury. Bystol Performance Center has developed one of the most advanced screenings for athletes to identify any muscle weaknesses and compensation patterns that increase the risk of injury and decrease performance, speed, power, strength, and flexibility.

Hockey
Speed, power, strength and acceleration win hockey games. Top level teams recruit offensive players that can get to the puck first, accelerate away from defenders and shoot the hardest with pin-point accuracy. Defensive players must have powerful lateral movement, hit hard and have the ability to clear the net. BPC hockey strength and conditioning program is designed to dramatically improve every aspect of your hockey game by increasing flexibility, speed, strength and power.
Through experience, research and results, Bystol Performance Ccenter has developed one of the most successful hockey strength and conditioning programs in the Country. Athletes will learn how to properly perform variations of weight room, plyometric and speed exercises specifically designed to improve on ice performance. BPC athletes will also be exposed to dozens of our grueling Functional Hockey Training (FHT) exercises. These exercises have shown to develop unparalleled strength, speed and power by forcing the body to transfer the strength gained in the weight room directly to the ice.

Our Approach to Soccer and Lacrosse
Soccer and lacrosse are centered around running. A player needs both linear and lateral speed as well as endurance. The stronger the athlete is, the faster the athlete is. Our unique program includes instruction in movement training, injury reduction and rehabilitation, linear and lateral speed techniques, foot speed and agility, explosive power development, proper functional strength training and energy system conditioning. It’s this combination, including the athlete’s time spent on the field practicing sport specific skills, that will construct outstanding soccer and lacrosse players.
