ETS Performance Central

💤 Getting good quality sleep is important for academic performance and overall well-being. It will help your brain rest and recharge so you can focus, learn and feel better each day.

🍔 Eating a balanced diet will help fuel the body and brain by getting the right amount of nutrients to stay energized. Nutrition is also important because it can help you stay focused, get stronger, and will help you perform better in sports too!

💦 Staying hydrated is the key to keeping your body and brain functioning properly. Drinking water also helps with concentration, digestion, and overall physical health.

📚 Prioritizing these areas can help you get through your school day and have enough energy when performing in sports!

Good luck to all our athletes and families on the new school year! 📚✏️📝

This weekend, one of our performance coaches, Erik, heads out to Chicago where he will be opening a new ETS location this fall.

We would like to thank Erik for all he has done for the athletes at ETS Central this year, and we wish him the best in Chicago.

He will be missed!

This week’s goes out to Ben!

Ben, a long-time ETS athlete, recently moved down to Tampa, Florida to begin his USPHL Hockey career! We will miss having Ben around the facility, but we wish him nothing but the best down south. Good luck, Ben!

At the end of every training session, athletes are encouraged to finish up with our post workout routine.

The post workout routine is a series of mobility exercises that are designed to help athletes cool down and it also gives them an opportunity to get some extra stretching and mobility work in the following areas:

📍Hips
📍Quads
📍Hamstrings
📍T-Spine
📍Calves

This week’s goes out to Jeff!

Jeff, served as a performance coach with us this summer. As his summer wraps up, and he heads back up to Duluth to finish up his degree at St. Scholastica, we want to thank him for all his hard work and the impact he had at ETS Central this summer. He will be missed!

With fall sports kicking off, let's discuss in-season training!

Continuing or starting to train during the season is crucial for an athlete's long-term development.

Why would you want to be at your best at the beginning of the season and not the end?

Chart 1: This chart shows that if an athlete stopped training during the competitive season, there will be significant regressions that occur, and they will need to spend time following their season to regain what the lost in season.

Chart 2: Throughout the off-season, athletes work extremely hard to acquire specific skills or attributes that assist in their ability to perform at a high level. We also know that these attributes typically decline within 5-30 days of inactivity.

At ETS, we strive to keep our athletes at their best during their season! We do so by carefully monitoring our athlete's session to session and micro-dosing those specific attributes which they have acquired. By doing this, they can continue to progress through the season and be their best when it matters most!

This week’s goes out to Ty!

Ty started training with us following his senior football season, and he has been a fixture at our facility 4-5 times per week over the past 9 months.

This week, Ty started football fall camp, and we will miss having him around. Best of luck on your freshman football season!

We had a great opportunity this evening to help out at Christ Lutheran Church’s VBS.

We timed 10-Yard dashes and had the kids jump over hurdles, all the kids had great time!

This week’s goes out to one of our coaches this summer, Morgan!

Morgan served as a performance coach all summer, and she did a phenomenal job helping at our facility, and also with Bloomington Jefferson Volleyball training.

We are grateful for everything she did this summer to help all of our athletes! Good luck to Morgan on her senior year, go get ‘em! 🏐🏀

This week’s goes out to Rogan!

Why “Leave A Legacy?”

In our facility, there is a large “Leave A Legacy” decal on the wall. At ETS, we look to instill this mindset into everyone we get the opportunity to work with. “Leaving A Legacy” means doing things that make an impact beyond yourself. It means being a good family member, teammate, and friend, and being willing to do things that will make a positive, lasting difference around you.

“Leaving A Legacy” could even be as simple as putting in 100% effort every training session, practice, or game, to ensure that no doubt can ever come across your mind that an opportunity to succeed was left out there.

At ETS, we not only want to “Leave A Legacy” with our athletes by helping them achieve their training and sport specific goals; but we also want to “Leave A Legacy” by teaching them characteristics which will enable them to someday “Leave A Legacy” throughout their lives as well.

Last week, we had a great time having members and community members out for our grand opening celebration. We had an awesome turnout, as everyone got to hear the ETS story and how ETS continues to impact athletes. They also had the opportunity to hear from Adam Thielen as well.
