Train the way your sport demands — faster, more powerful, and harder to beat.
Winning your recreational basketball league, finishing a faster 5K, or earning a starting roster spot all depend in part on developing the physical qualities your sport demands. NASM-certified trainer Trevor Cassidy builds sports performance programs that go beyond general fitness to target relevant energy systems, movement patterns, and force production. A soccer player may train lateral agility and repeated-sprint ability, while a combat-sport athlete may emphasize rotational power and anaerobic conditioning.
Trevor has worked with competitive and recreational athletes across a range of disciplines, including adult soccer and basketball players, runners, tennis players, and martial artists. Each program begins with a needs analysis of the sport and an assessment of the athlete, then uses planned training blocks and performance data to refine the work.
This is structured athletic development rather than a generic hard workout. Training priorities are selected according to the athlete's sport, competition schedule, current ability, and measurable performance needs.
Your program includes plyometrics, Olympic lift variations, and sprint mechanics tailored to the force vectors and velocities your sport demands. You get faster and more explosive in the directions that matter.
Targeted strengthening of commonly injured areas — ACL-protective hamstring work for cutting sports, rotator cuff prehab for overhead athletes — keeps you competing instead of rehabbing.
A tennis match and a 10K race tax completely different energy systems. Trevor Cassidy programs conditioning that mirrors the work-to-rest ratios and intensity demands of your specific sport.
Most recreational athletes train randomly. Structured sport-specific programming gives you a measurable advantage in strength, speed, and endurance against competitors who lack a real plan.
Every sports performance program begins with a needs analysis covering the sport's movement patterns, energy systems, competition schedule, and common physical demands. Trevor Cassidy then assesses relevant measures such as jumping, sprinting, agility, and strength to identify priorities for the training block.
Off-season work may emphasize strength and muscle development. Pre-season blocks shift toward power, speed, and sport-specific conditioning, while in-season volume is managed around practices and competition. A meta-analysis by Rhea and Alderman found that periodized strength programs were more effective than non-periodized programs, with outcomes influenced by training status and program length (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2004).
Trevor Cassidy evaluates the physical demands of your sport and tests your current athletic baselines — jump height, sprint speed, agility, strength-to-bodyweight ratios — to identify the areas where targeted training will yield the biggest performance gains.
You receive a multi-phase training plan aligned with your competitive season. Each phase has specific goals — build strength, convert to power, sharpen sport-specific conditioning — so you arrive at competition in peak form.
Plyometric and speed work require precise technique to be effective and safe. In-person sessions with Trevor Cassidy ensure your landing mechanics, sprint form, and explosive movement patterns are dialed in.
Every six to eight weeks, Trevor Cassidy retests key performance metrics. Improvements in jump height, sprint times, or agility scores confirm the program is working and guide the next training phase.
