The number one goal of the Santa Monica Strength and Conditioning program is to keep athletes healthy and improve performance. Here at SMC our programs are designed to improve movement quality in order to increase the durability of each athlete. Free weight multi joint exercises are the staple for all athletic teams who train at SMC. There is also an emphasis on explosive movements and body weight explosive (such as plyometric) drills to teach athletes how to apply force rapidly and/or at high velocities. The coaching staff takes pride in teaching the execution for each lift or drill. Experience has shown that athletes who are educated and understand the goals behind different drills and exercises are likely to train at a higher level and with an emphasis on technique.
Thank you for supporting the SMC Sports Performance Fund so we can continue to provide meaningful opportunities for our students and community.
