Mission Statement
The Upper Iowa Strength and Conditioning Department is committed to providing high performance coaching and evidenced-based training programs with objectives to improve the health, performance, and all around development of our Student Athletes.
Vision Statement
Our Vision for our Student Athletes is a two-pronged approach;
- Develop and positively impact the lives of our Student Athletes
- We want our Student Athletes to acquire the ability to attack challenges in life with the necessary skills to be problem solvers and outside the box thinkers.
- We emphasize to our Student Athletes that it takes discipline to do the little things right, and realize as teammates that they should tolerate nothing less than full accountability to one another in the weight room, on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
- Create an objective, results driven process to Student Athlete health and performance.
- Our Strength and Conditioning Department is consistently testing year-round to ensure we are developing the Student Athlete’s specific qualities necessary to succeed in their sport.
- We believe in prioritizing the health of our Student Athletes by providing education on the importance of recovery, sleep, nutrition, prescribing appropriate training loads, and the importance of performing quality reps. Accomplishing these objectives are pivotal in reducing risk of injury.
Core Values
- High Performance
- As a Strength and Conditioning Staff using our High Performance model, we are in search of “quality over quantity.” We coach our athletes to have focused, detailed reps, performed with driven intent.
- It will never be just “What” we do, but “How” we do it.
- Love
- We expect all who enter our facility to love one another and treat everyone the way that they want to be treated.
- We encourage our Student Athletes to love the process of training. Just as in sport, training, and life, it takes hard work and patience to see changes in ourselves and progress towards the goals we have.
- We invite everyone to have a passion for their calling in life, have a focused purpose in their pursuit of achieving their goals, and carry themselves with a personality that makes other peoples lives better.
