Performance Enhancement
Twin Peak Performance,
LLC has worked with numerous athletes as well as high schools
to develop and implement sport-specific programs to individuals
and groups. We’ll customize a program that focuses on your
sport, abilities and goals. This training is available for all ages
and abilities.
You may come to us or arrange for our
staff to come to you.
Services include:
Our staff looks to improve on overall
performance in athletics which includes, increasing one’s
confidence, consistency of play, increasing one’s skill level,
power and coordination, and giving each athlete or team the confidence
within themselves to be a winner.
We have worked closely with individuals,
teams, and coaches in the following sports: Basketball, Baseball,
Softball, Running, Soccer, and Football.
Our Goal:
To provide athletes, coaches and parents with as many tools as possible
to minimize injuries, maximize musculoskeletal performance and enhance
one’s athletic abilities.
Let us design your training program and
help you get the “Winning Edge”!
Strength Training
All athletes need a strength program to ensure balanced muscular
development and to decrease the risk of injury. Athletes who lack
significant muscular strength are more likely to get injured or
drop out of the sport due to failure or frustration. Our Sports
Enhancement Program will help athletes learn proper lifting techniques
as well as developing a program for increasing muscular strength,
power and endurance. Don’t worry female athletes; lifting
will not make you big. If is very important for the female athlete
to have some form of resistance training to improve athletic ability
as well as decrease injuries. (back to Top)
Speed
Training
Running speed is important for success in sports. Even though the
exact requirements may differ for each sport, almost all sports
consider speed an important quality. Speed influences an athlete’s
ability to get to the ball, get to the base, get to the goal, outrun
a defender, catch an opponent with the ball, block a scoring attempt,
etc. Speed is such an important quality that it is frequently used
to help determine who makes the team and who starts. We will instruct
athletes on proper running techniques and form. Once athletes have
learned the proper form they will engage in drills to improve one’s
acceleration, deceleration, string length, and overall speed. Drills
will incorporate the use of bungee cords as well as parachutes to
help improve one’s overall speed. (back to

Agility
Training
In today’s world of competitive sports, the emphasis on training
has become paramount. The emergence of agility drills as a means
to increase sport performance has come to the forefront. The term
“agility” is referred to as the ability to stop, start
and change the direction of the body or body parts rapidly in a
controlled manner. Look at Barry Sanders for example; he was able
to start, stop and change direction on a dime. Was he gifted? Yes,
but he also worked hard on improving his agility. Agility is a trainable
skill that needs to be worked on continuously, demands proper mechanics
in the upper and lower body and has specific guidelines that need
to be followed so training does not become another form of conditioning.
We have developed a multitude of agility drills tailored to each
sport and position, which vary in complexity while using numerous
implements that can be used to increase such factors as foot work,
acceleration, deceleration and body control. Through consistently
and effectively practicing these drills, an athlete can improve
their first step of quickness, change of direction, and their ability
to dominate on the field of play. (back to Top)
Plyometric
Training
Our plyometric program uses multi-directional exercises to help
you improve power, quickness, coordination, core stability, balance
and awareness of your body position. (back to Top)
S.P.A.R.Q.
Off Season Training Sessions
Do you need to take your game to the next level?
Don’t wait for the season to begin to start working toward
your goals. Let Twin Peak Performance help you get faster and stronger
now with our S.P.A.R.Q. program. S.P.A.R.Q. stands for speed, power,
agility, reaction and quickness. Based on our years of experience
as athletic trainers we know that these are the qualities athletes
need to excel past the competition.
Twin Peak Performance is offering two-hour training sessions for
athletes in Grades 6-12. Each session will include weight training,
speed, agility and plyometrics determined by sport. Our sessions
can help any athlete improve in any sport.
Twin Peak Performance also will work with any coach interested in
setting up any of their teams on a training program at their schools.
For more information on our team and individual training sessions,
please contact Shelly DelosSantos at (989) 245-6056 or Becky Raube

ACL Prevention
To help female athletes who play competitive basketball, volleyball,
or soccer prevent ACL injuries to their knees, Shelly DelosSantos,
MS, ATC and Becky Raube, MS, ATC, co-owners of Twin Peak Performance,
created a sports enhancement program that will help female athletes
train their muscles in an attempt to prevent knee injuries.
Research has shown over the years that more young women are playing
sports and therefore more are experiencing this painful injury that
can keep them sidelined for an entire season. One in every 100 female
athletes at the high school level is at risk for ACL injuries each
year. The risk is one in 10 for female athletes at the college level.
Most injuries to the ligament are non-contact, meaning the athlete
makes a cut or comes down from a jump and the ligament snaps. This
injury is considered one of the biggest health and safety concerns
in sports. However, there are several elements that can help female
athletes decrease their risk factors for this type of knee injury.
S.P.A.R.Q. provides these elements through a series of exercises
designed to help the players avoid vulnerable positions, increase
flexibility, and also increase functional strength. As female athletes
carry out the elements to this plan, they will learn to prevent
injuries and enhance their athletic performance. (back

Sport-Specific
Cord Training
You can use resistance cord training to improve sport-specific skills
such as throwing, hitting, kicking, puck handling and shooting,
club head speed and more. (back to Top)
Flexibility
Training
In today’s world of athletics, one injury can derail a team’s
season; therefore a proper flexibility program is essential. The
picture of a team sitting in a circle stretching is no longer visible.
Athletes need to be ready for movement in their sport from the start.
That is why Twin Peak Performance, along with other strength and
conditioning coaches, realize the need for a dynamic warm-up. Twin
Peak has selected a variety of movements that engage an athlete’s
hips, core and limbs to move through game-like motions. This dynamic
warm-up gets the muscles and joints stretched not in one plane of
motion, but a multi-directional motion, decreasing the likelihood
of an injured joint or muscle. (back to Top)
