At WorkHard Performance, we believe in redefining the athletic training experience. Founded by former two-sport athlete Stephen Freeman, our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of movement mechanics and injury prevention. Stephen’s personal journey, shaped by the challenges of injuries, fuels our mission to help athletes achieve their peak performance without the fear of pain. Our Training Philosophy: We focus on building rigid bodies with the mobility to absorb and redirect energy in all directions. Our mantra is clear: “No pain, no game” is outdated. Instead, we strive for no-pain movements that enhance athletic performance. Our training sessions are designed to deliver a range of benefits, including: - Ankle, Knee, and Hip Stability - Enhanced Range of Motion - Explosive Functional Strength - Lateral Quickness - Vertical Jump Increase - Increased Proprioception How We Get There: Our comprehensive training program incorporates a variety of techniques to ensure optimal performance and injury prevention: 1. Self Myofascial Release (SMR): Begin and end each session with SMR to enhance recovery and flexibility. 2. Banded Distraction: Improve range of motion and blood flow throughout the body. 3. CNS Preparation: Transition between sympathetic and parasympathetic states for optimal focus and recovery. 4. Proprioception Work: Engage in barefoot exercises to enhance sensory feedback and performance. 5. Hand-Eye Coordination Drills: Develop essential skills for agility and precision in movement. 6. Mobility Assessments: Regular evaluations to track progress and ensure continuous improvement. 7. Five Phase Program Design: Our structured sessions include warm-up, fascia release, activation, performance or skills training, strength, conditioning, and cool down. Join us at WorkHard Performance, where our innovative training methods empower athletes to reach new heights—pain-free. Together, we’ll build the strength, stability, and agility you need to excel in your sport and beyond.
