🚨 Our Super Bowl is your availability.

🏫 Nearly 75% of our collegiate athletes have already returned to school.

⏳ For the athletes still here, we’re in the final 10 days of season preparation.

⚡ The last five weeks have been nonstop power endurance—then pairing that fatigue with the positions, forces, and repetitive stresses that commonly expose vulnerable joints.

🧠 Not every facility intentionally trains athletes through fatigue, unpredictable ground contact, deceleration, awkward angles, and repetitive force.

We do.

Because sport does.

🛡️ We’re not chasing a one-rep max.

We’re preparing athletes to stay healthy, withstand chaos, and repeatedly produce when the game gets ugly.

🏆 At Stadium Performance, our Super Bowl is not what you lift once.

It’s whether you’re available to perform when your team needs you most.

🥩 The 150-Gram Rule for Female Athletes

Muscle building is a topic female athletes need to stop avoiding! Proper fueling is essential for building power, accelerating recovery, and staying healthy through grueling game schedules.

Hitting a clear, simple baseline—like the 150g protein rule—helps female athletes build functional strength and outlast the competition.

🚨 Five injury mechanisms we trained against today.

Every SP workout is built to oppose the positions, forces, and weaknesses that commonly show up when athletes get hurt.

❌ We’re not just training movements.

😳 We’re training athletes to survive the moments when movement gets ugly.

🧠 Today’s five:

✅ Prone AIREX Up-Downs
Shoulder instability under multidirectional stress.

✅ Trap Bar Deadlifts + Endurance Broad Jumps
Lower-body force production followed by fatigue-based deceleration demands—exactly where poor control can expose the knee.

✅ Copenhagen Dips
Groin strength, adductor capacity, and pelvic control against the stresses associated with groin strains and osteitis p***s.

✅ High Box Jumps — LAST
Hip flexor and trunk control when fatigue is already present.

✅ Single-Leg Figure 8s
Reactive footwork, rotation, and unpredictable ground-contact stress that challenge meniscal and knee control.

🛡️ This is the hidden purpose behind our programming.

☝️ Prepare athletes to stay available.
✌️ Prepare them to perform.
🤟 Prepare them to advance.

🫡 That is our role.

🧱 Durability is not a separate phase of training. It is built into every rep.

🛑 Speed is useless if you can't stop safely.

Most athletes focus solely on acceleration, but poor deceleration mechanics are one of the leading causes of non-contact ACL and knee injuries.

At Stadium Performance, deceleration is a non-negotiable component of our training. Learning how to absorb force, cut efficiently, and control change of direction keeps you fast, agile, and durable all season.

🚨 The obvious reason we do so many split squat variations? Build stronger legs.

💥 A stronger leg can create more force per stride. More force can create more distance. More distance gives us something powerful to convert into speed.

🪄 But the coach doesn’t always reveal the hidden magic inside the programming.

🛡️ My first job is keeping athletes healthy.

☑️ Healthy means available.
☑️ Available means actionable.
☑️ Actionable means recruitable.

🧠 That’s where split squat variations earn their value beyond strength.

✅ Bulgarian split squats challenge single-leg pelvic control.
✅ Contralateral loading forces the trunk and hip to resist rotation.
✅ Goblet loading increases the demand to maintain a stacked torso.
✅ Deficit variations expose athletes to deeper hip positions while demanding control.
✅ Every variation asks the hips, adductors, abdominals, and glutes to manage force around what we call the Zone of Convergence.

🧱 That region matters because sport constantly asks the pelvis and trunk to stabilize while one leg produces or absorbs force.

🦵 The visible goal might be stronger legs.

🌪️ The hidden goal is an athlete whose body can tolerate everything their sport throws at them.

☝️ Strength makes you powerful. Durability keeps you available long enough for someone to notice.

"I’ve been training at SP Strengthening & Conditioning for a little over a year now, and I’ve seen a huge improvement in myself.

Since I started, the trainers have been really supportive and know what they’re doing. I’ve gotten stronger, faster, and more confident, and I can definitely see it in how I play on the field. The workouts are challenging but still age-appropriate, and they focus on doing things the right way so we.." says M on Google

🚨 The average Stadium Performance athlete spends 6–8 years developing with us. Amelia Sousa is about to finish year five.

🧠 The first 3–4 years are about building the foundation: strength, durability, situational awareness, recovery habits, sleep, confidence, and an understanding of what your body actually needs.

🌎 Then we “release them to the wild.”

📚 That’s what we call college.

By then, we shouldn’t be worried about whether they can handle training, protect their health, advocate for themselves, or meet the demands of a new environment.

📈 When they come back after freshman year, the conversation changes.

❓ What worked? What didn’t? What needs to improve? How do we make year six better than year five?

🎥 We don’t need 50 clips of Amelia this summer.

Three statements told us everything:

✅ “I work too hard to not be the best physical version of myself.”
✅ “I need to embrace confidence from my hard work, and from that positivity will follow.”
✅ “I can run forever, but I’ve learned I need to run fast to make a difference.”

🧅 Once we peeled back the layers, the plan became obvious.

Then we executed.

❤️ Stadium Performance is not just a gym. It’s not just a performance center.

I opened this business to help athletes build the best versions of themselves.

We are changing the world one athlete at a time.

🚨 What does it mean to leave Stadium Performance “SP Bullet Proof”?

📊 After nearly 13 years and tens of thousands of data points, we’ve identified a handful of performance standards that matter deeply to us.

Not because they look impressive on Instagram.

Because they demonstrate strength, control, durability, and ownership of some of the weakest positions an athlete will encounter.

🛡️ Before an athlete leaves for college, we want them capable of:

✅ 6 ass-to-grass pistol squats on each leg.
✅ 6 back squats at 1.25× bodyweight to 90° of knee flexion in 10.2 seconds.
✅ 6 bowler squats each leg with a knee tap.
✅ 6 single-leg stand-ups each leg from a deficit below 90° of knee flexion.
✅ 10 consecutive broad jumps without breaking 90° of knee flexion.

💪 ADDY KEAVENEY has checked every box.

And then some.

🏒 Trinity Women’s Hockey Trinity College Women's Ice Hockey isn’t simply getting an athlete who increased her squat 120 pounds in four years.

They’re getting the strongest female athlete in Stadium Performance history.

❤️ That represents years of showing up, accepting coaching, attacking weaknesses, and refusing to settle for “good enough.”

The numbers are impressive. The durability behind them matters more.

Addy leaves SP Bullet Proof.

We could not be more .

🚨 We’re doing a fair review of CADDIX

I tried to get a pair sent to me. No luck.

One of my high-level lacrosse athletes came back from school and told me:

“These are the worst things I’ve ever worn.”

Not because the studs failed. Because the entire boot felt brutally rigid and his feet hurt.

So I wanted to know why.

🧠 Here’s what I found.
✅ The stud pattern is genuinely ideal.
✅ Several studs do rotate under load, but not enough to matter.
✅ The stud beneath the first ray/big toe region matters a lot because that area is heavily involved in propulsion and directional change.
✅ The heel counter lacks appropriate rigidity. This supports claims of a “loose heel.”

✅ The leather feels premium, and it cut ✂️ well too. 🤪

But there are concerns.

🚫 The forefoot is extremely stiff.
🚫 Some studs move considerably more than others.
🚫 There is still an aggressive toe blade that can potentially create a very different release characteristic than the rotating studs around it.
🚫 The technology requires a substantial amount of structural support underneath the foot.

The theory behind Caddix is simple:

Allow certain studs to rotate and potentially reduce rotational forces transferred up the leg.

Sounds great.

But reduced rotational resistance can also come with a tradeoff.

If the stud rotates before releasing, does ground-contact time increase?

Does that cost performance?

Does the rigidity required to support the technology create other foot or lower-extremity issues?

Those answers are not established simply because the marketing looks good.

And that’s my biggest issue. Right now, the concept is exciting.

The long-term athlete data is what matters.

I’m not saying Caddix causes ACL injuries. I’m also not prepared to say it prevents them.

Interesting technology is not the same thing as proven injury reduction.

My job isn’t to sell you the newest cleat. My job is to figure out whether it deserves to be on your foot.
