Power Academy

Looking to develop true explosive power and create separation from your competition???

Power is one of the key attributes of elite athletes. An athlete’s ability to quickly express force in any direction can separate good athletes from great ones. At Loper Performance, we pride ourselves on developing and improving power by educating on proper technique, applying that technique, and fostering competition within each session to build confidence and intrinsic drive!

Our Power Academy is designed for high school-aged athletes (MUST BE AGES 14-18). Within this program we dive deeper into power development with jumping and landing mechanics. We also introduce the athletes to some Olympic weightlifting movements, such as the clean and its variations. These movements are a cornerstone in strength and conditioning programs at the college level, and our goal is to give your athlete early technical precision in these movements. Power Academy is built for athletes who want to move heavy weights with speed, purpose, and explosive intent!
