FAQ's

1. How long is your program?
TWI training program sessions last for 12 weeks. Each training session runs for about 90 minutes per session/ 3 days a week. This is typical for the junior high and high school athlete during their off-season.

2. What testing procedures are done to ensure that an athlete improves?
Over the course of the 12 week segment, all athletes will be tested 3 times(Pre, Mid, Post). The test consists of a 40 yard dash, vertical jump, standing long jump, pro agility drills, and muscular strength and flexibility drills. These tests give the athlete visual results and allows them to objectively compare their progress.

3. What should I be doing on the days I am not training with TWI?
Athletes should be training at least 2 other days in addition to the training done with TWI. The development of an athlete these days is a long-term process that requires dedication, consistency, and purpose in training to reach maximal training gains.

4. How many athletes train at once?
The program is structured for the athlete(s) to receive proper attention. Therefore, TWI requires no more than 4 athletes during a sport specific 12-week session.

5. What should I eat prior to training?
The training is physically demanding. With that being said, eat small prior to training. A small sandwich or a fruit would be fine. Try to avoid fast food and any citrus types of fruit. (Both can cause nausea while training) Drink plenty of water before, during and after training for proper hydration.

6. What is Sport-Specific and Neuromuscular Training, and how does it differ from other forms of training?
When you are in your off-season, it is extremely important to replicate the exact speed and movements of your sport as much as possible. This maximizes the strength and power gains you achieve onto the playing field during your seasoned sport. Although they are needed for strength and strength endurance, traditional training methods such as free weights and resistive machines force the athlete to train at speeds much slower than they play in the respective sport. Sport-Specific and Neuromuscular Training is performed at very high speeds involving movements that replicate your sport and position.

Always remember: POWER= FORCE x VELOCITY. YOUR SUCCESS WILL NOT BE DICTATED BY ONLY HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU CAN MOVE, BUT HOW FAST YOU CAN MOVE THAT WEIGHT.

7. Should I do the training exercises during “the season”…e.g., during basketball, or football, or track season?
Yes. It is good to incorporate the exercises into your season regimen. The exercises will not overload or over-exert the muscles, but will increase or quicken the contraction rate of the muscle. It’s best to not do the training exercises too close to the beginning or the end of practice. Some coaches will implement small portions of speed and power training throughout the season.

8. Does TWI help with the assistance of finding athletes scholarships?
Yes! TWI is committed in advocating for any athlete who is worthy of a scholarship. This process is achieved by contacting high school coaches, collegiate coaches, as well as college administered recruiters with the hope of assisting an athlete to a school.
