FAQ

  • Not at all. SHIFT works with middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes of all experience levels, from beginners to advanced competitors. Programs are tailored to meet each athlete where they are and help them improve safely and effectively. Whether you're just getting started or looking to gain a competitive edge, I’ve got you covered.

  • This program is not for people who aren’t willing to be coached, show up consistently, or put in the effort. If you’re looking for quick fixes or aren’t serious about improving your performance, this won’t be the right fit. It is for individuals committed to self improvement.

  • Team practices are designed to develop sport skill, strategy, and team execution. Performance training focuses on developing the physical qualities that support those skills: strength, speed, power, coordination, mobility, change of direction, and overall athleticism.

    The goal is to build stronger, faster, more resilient athletes who are physically better prepared to perform in their sport.

  • Through consistent effort and intentional training, athletes develop every aspect of what makes a complete competitor: intent, confidence, resilience, and discipline. Those improvements open doors to bigger plays, bigger moments, more opportunities, and greater impact both in and out of the sport.

    The truth is, sports alone don’t teach lessons. The lessons come from what you choose to do when no one is watching, and how you respond when everyone is. When those two things align, you perform differently.

  • Yes. In-season training is extremely important for maintaining strength, power, movement quality, and reducing injury risk throughout the demands of a season. Training volume and intensity are adjusted based on practices, games, travel, recovery, and overall workload to help athletes continue performing at a high level without unnecessary fatigue.

  • Yes. While athletes may train together in a group environment, programming is individualized based on training age, injury history, sport demands, current season, strengths, weaknesses, and overall goals. Training is adjusted to ensure each athlete is challenged appropriately and progressing safely over time.

  • Most clients begin to feel and see some improvements in strength, speed, and confidence by the end of the first month. Measurable performance gains typically happen after 3 months depending on consistency and effort. Long-term results come from staying committed to the process.

  • Yes. Training can be modified for athletes returning from injury or working through limitations. Exercise selection, workload, and progression are adjusted based on the athlete’s injury history, current stage of recovery, and communication with healthcare providers when appropriate. The goal is to help athletes rebuild confidence, capacity, and resilience while safely returning to performance. Depending on the athlete’s stage of recovery, private training sessions may be recommended to ensure the appropriate level of supervision, progression, and individualized attention before returning to a group training environment.

  • Training sessions are typically around 60 minutes, give or take depending on the training day and athlete needs. Sessions are designed to develop all aspects of athleticism, including speed, power, strength, change of direction, plyometrics, jumping ability, mobility, and overall movement quality.

    While different sports may have specific demands, the foundation of athletic development remains the same. Athletes first need to become strong, explosive, coordinated, and resilient. Building these foundational qualities creates more adaptable, durable, and capable athletes regardless of sport, while creating a higher long-term ceiling for performance.

    Programming is adjusted based on the athlete’s training age, injury history, current season, workload, and individual goals. These factors influence training intensity, exercise selection, recovery, and overall progression to ensure athletes continue improving safely and effectively.

  • Consistency is one of the biggest drivers of athletic development. There is no shortcut or magic program that replaces showing up consistently and committing to the process over time.

    While we understand athletes may have busy schedules, training only once per week usually isn’t enough frequency to build momentum, adapt to the workload, and make meaningful long-term progress. Missing one session could also mean going nearly two weeks between training exposures.

    The more consistently athletes train, the more opportunities they give themselves to improve and stack productive training days together. Our programs are designed for athletes committed to long-term development, not occasional workouts.

  • Getting started is simple. Download the ForActive app or click on the “Schedule” button on the menu page to access scheduling and payments, then complete the contact form through the SHIFT Performance Training website. You’ll then be contacted to discuss next steps and answer any questions.

  • Yes. We offer flexible training options based on your schedule and goals. Session packages aren’t tied to a strict weekly commitment, allowing you to train more or less frequently depending on your availability. While consistent training is recommended for the best results, this flexibility helps you stay on track without adding unnecessary stress.
