Sports Performance Gains: What You Can Expect at OC Sports Performance. What do you gain when you join OC Sports Performance in Bend, Oregon? Let’s dive into our proven process to elevate athletic performance and achieve measurable results.
Metrics That Matter
At OC Sports Performance, tracking and improving key metrics is one of our core values. We are a metric-based facility, meaning we don’t just train—we test, measure, and share results. This transparency ensures athletes, parents, and coaches are aligned and aware of the progress being made.
Prioritizing Safety First
New athletes start with four one-on-one sessions. These personalized sessions:
- Teach proper safety measures for the big three lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift.
- Teach and observe accessory movements commonly used in day to day training.
- Provide a safe environment to discuss previous injuries or concerns.
- Build trust and confidence between the athlete and coach.
Establishing Baselines
After safety comes testing. We collect baseline data, including:
- Standing vertical jump
- Broad jump
- Flying 10- or 20-yard sprint (or a 40-yard sprint)
- Additional jump variations(one step box jump, no step box jump, running box jump, seated at parallel box jump)
These benchmarks help athletes understand where they stand and give coaches the insights needed to design effective training plans.
Day-to-Day Training
Once the initial sessions are complete, athletes transition to our SP general classes. These classes follow a structured weekly schedule:
- Jump Training: Three sessions per week with varied jump techniques
- Strength Training: Lower and upper body lifting twice a week
- Sprint Training: One session per week focused on maximum effort sprints
- Aerobic Capacity (Saturdays): For athletes who train on weekends, we incorporate aerobic development
Regular Testing for Continuous Growth
Every month, athletes test key performance metrics:
- 40-yard sprint
- Broad jump
- Vertical jump
These tests provide tangible proof of improvement and directly impact athletic performance. We record 40-yard sprint times and update athletes on their top speed, flying 10-yard, and flying 20-yard times.
Strength Metrics
We test the big three lifts—squat, bench press, and deadlift—every 3-4 months. Consistent attendance and tracking provide athletes with valuable data points to understand their strength gains over time.
Our Mission: Building Better Athletes
At OC Sports Performance, our mission is simple: help athletes get stronger, faster, and more explosive. By testing, measuring progress, and tracking metrics, we ensure every athlete sees measurable gains. The bi-product of this hyper focused training is athletes that remain healthy throughout their seasons and see great progress in their self confidence as well as their abilities. Sports Performance gains help the physical and the mental side of the athlete.
