Strength and Conditioning

The Wyoming Seminary Strength and Conditioning program strives to provide high-quality and specific training to student-athletes.

We strongly believe training should be part of every student-athlete's athletic journey. A purposeful strength and conditioning program will not only improve sport performance, but also act as a protective shield to help reduce the chance of injury. Not to mention, it is an unmatched confidence booster on the playing field and inside the classroom.

Our Training Program

A training program for Sem student-athletes includes the following:

Flexibility/mobility—Optimizing movement through all planes of motion
Speed development—Acceleration, deceleration, change of direction
Power development/explosiveness—Olympic lifting, plyometrics, medicine ball throws, jumping/hopping/landing techniques
Strength—Knee-dominant, hip-dominant, upper body push/pull, trunk/core training
Energy system development—Sport-specific conditioning

Our Mission

It is our mission to develop safe, effective and appropriately challenging training programs. Not only do we want to help improve sport performance and protect our bodies, but we think it is imperative to promote health and wellness for life performance and life longevity. For that reason, we encourage ALL students and faculty to use our facilities inside the Pettebone-Dickson Student Center when their schedule allows.
