SPORT LEADERSHIP
At Rising Stars we believe that athletic training and competition provides unique and valuable opportunities to enhance and refine leadership competencies. We also believe that part of a responsible sports culture in any team, school, or organization should be leadership development for competition and beyond.
TEAM BUILDING
With the goal of supporting and inspiring positive and healthy team environments, our LEAD Instructors will plan and deliver a unique and carefully crafted combination of team building activities. Rising Stars’ motivational and inspirational team building workshops are uniquely designed to quickly develop cohesive teams, through providing unique opportunities for active learning, while fostering trust and positive connections though a series of individual and whole group challenges.
SPORT PERFORMANCE
Sport performance training allows athletes to tap into emotional and mental resources that helps them to play at their prime as often and consistently as possible. Peak performance training will help young athletes perform toward the upper range of their talent and skill, and perform at their prime more consistently, regardless of competitive circumstancesPERFORMANCE TRAINING
In order to be a top team and/or individual prospect in sport, you must continually develop sport specific skills and master game strategies under the leadership of a committed coaching staff, but athletes must also be in peak physical condition to be the best they can be. Speed, Agility, Quickness and Core Strength are the cornerstones to athletic performance. Our philosophy is that athletic performance training allows for the complete development of athletes. Instruction and guidance focuses on repeated application of learned foundations and sport specific knowledge to produce the Total Athlete.
SPORT PSYCHOLOGY
Being confident, can make an immediate difference in performance during athletic competition. Our advanced collection of research-based sport psychology tools and techniques will help athletes improve their level of play through use of confidence building skills, imagery & visualization, pre-game/pre-competitive routine establishment, and goal setting.MENTAL TRAINING
Preparing mentally is just as important as preparing physically. Your attitude determines everything. Like other aspects of training, mental skills can be learned. It is not something genetic. For some players it comes more easily than for others. To play at the level each of you are reaching for, you will need to improve on these skills.
