Sunny Hills High School Purpose-driven Athletic Performance Training Program Organization Background AIM – Athletes in Motion was founded to provide athletes, ranging from 10 years through the Professional ranks, with a model to maximize inherent capabilities, produce maximum force and velocity while mitigating risks of injury. AIM’s focus from inception, has been Evidence Based Sports Science and Sports Movement (biomechanics) -efficient sports movement and form follows correct biomechanics. Over the past 10 years AIM has worked with over 3500 athletes while drawing on evidence based Sports Science from such entities as the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM); the NBA Trainers Association (NBA-TA); and the National Sports Performance Association (NSPA) in order to create a model for developing high performing athletes. We call this model The Athletic Development Continuum or ADC. The ADC model is a process that every AIM athlete, club organization or team follows. It always starts with a bio-mechanical and movement assessment; followed by the introduction of corrective lengthening and activation and integration protocols to correct imbalances. Once the imbalances are corrected and the requisite (sport-specific) core stability is achieved the athletes are then retrained in their primary sport-specific movement patterns. It is ONLY at this point that the model will begin to create or produce force production (strength training). The model has many more phases which are shown in the diagram on the next page. This same model has produced many major success stories over the past ten years spanning Olympic athletes and Teams in sports such as volleyball and soccer; to National Club Championships for Soccer; and professional careers in Basketball; Soccer; Football; and Baseball. One of the members of the US Ryder Cup and the lead junior golfer in the US has been utilizing the ADC model for many years. 480 West Lambert Suites A&B Brea, CA 92821 www.athletesinmotion.net 949-813-3459 Sunny Hills High School Purpose-driven Athletic Performance Training Program The ADC Model 480 West Lambert Suites A&B Brea, CA 92821 www.athletesinmotion.net 949-813-3459 Sunny Hills High School Purpose-driven Athletic Performance Training Program The organization combines a unique understanding of the science of biomechanics with the science of power and sports performance to deliver their clients a competitive advantage.

The organization has had zero (0) non-contact ACL injuries over the past 7 years among athletes that were actively engaged year-round in the AIM ADC model and corrective protocols for 3 months or longer; 2. The organization has had zero (0) non-contact grade 3 ankle sprains over the past 7 years among athletes that were actively engaged year-round in the AIM ADC model and corrective protocols; 3. New Athletes that have undergone ACL reconstruction surgery and have come to AIM within two (2) months of surgery for return to sport training (RTST), and have followed the AIM corrective protocols and ACL recovery protocols have returned to sport in less than seven months (some as early as six) without one single re-occurrence. 480 West Lambert Suites A&B Brea, CA 92821 www.athletesinmotion.net 949-813-3459 Sunny Hills High School Purpose-driven Athletic Performance Training Program Key Deliverables under the program: 1. To Perform Bio-mechanic Assessments (to include transitional movements; range of motion and muscle testing) on each of the participating athletes across all participating sports (as many as 925 athletes total population); 2. To introduce Corrective Protocols (Consistent with the NASM and NBA Trainers Association models) for to correct bio-mechanic deficiencies (muscle imbalances) for each athlete and team based on the findings of the bio-mechanic assessments above; 3. To define and introduce to each respective program’s coaching staff correct practices for pre and post practice warm-up and wind down which is both sport-specific and addresses the general bio-mechanic issues found; 4. For non-field and Court athletes such as swim, water polo, and golf to provide strength, flexibility and movement training which is specific to the requirements of their sport; 5. For all field and court sports athletes (excluding Football) provide Strength and Power training, eventually utilizing Olympic lifts when the bodies are properly prepared (muscle balances and appropriate core strength and range of motion; 6. For all field and court sports athletes (including Football) provide retraining in basic movements for the given sport (multiple direction speed and change of direction) designed to achieve maximum efficiency in all required movements including but not limited to: ● linear and lateral deceleration – before we can get up and go we should learn how to stop or prepare for re-acceleration (ACL prevention); ● Linear acceleration – AIM “no legs- horizontal launch” methodology – teach your athletes to eliminate one complete stride in the first 8 feet of the acceleration phase; and correct top-end running mechanics; ● Lateral reacceleration (change of direction) utilizing AIM Created method to overcome a lack of eccentric strength in the athletes Lateral Subsystem of the Core – show your athletes how to change direction without collapsing into the hole; 480 West Lambert Suites A&B Brea, CA 92821 www.athletesinmotion.net 949-813-3459 Sunny Hills High School Purpose-driven Athletic Performance Training Program ● Lateral movement (slide or shuffle movement) AIM push / pull method vs. what most athletes present the pull/pull method of lateral movement; ● Retreat mechanics multiple scenarios and directions which are sport specific; 7. Review current strength program for programs utilizing Olympic lifts (most likely Football) and look at ways to maximize the translation of strength in the weight room to explosiveness and speed on the field -introducing a focus on correct bio-mechanics and AIM-developed Contrast training modalities; 8. Host and run an in-depth Training session (4 hours) for all Sports Medicine interns that will be participating side by side with AIM personnel in the delivery of the program. Focus to be to conduct and analyze transitional movement and functional movement screening and an introduction to AIM corrective protocols; 9. Develop and host a quarterly Coaches Clinic (2 hours) the first two being: ● Field and Court Sport - How to assess and begin to address bio-mechanical issues in field and court athletes which lead to “leaking” of power (speed) and greater chance of injury – the why to the ADC model; ● All Sports - Proper sports movement mechanics (sport-specific). 10. Work with Sunny Hills Athletic Trainer (post injury focus) to review and collaborate on Return to Sport (RTS) protocols. 480 West Lambert Suites A&B Brea, CA 92821 www.athletesinmotion.net 949-813-3459 Sunny Hills High School Purpose-driven Athletic Performance Training Program Quantifiable Goals first full year of participation: 1. To add a minimum of 4” (girls) 6” (boys) to vertical jump to gauge progress in power (strength and velocity) field and court sport; 2. For field and court sports to improve acceleration phase (10 yard sprint) by at least 2/10 of a second (.2s) most appropriate for all field and court sports; 3. Improve 40 yard by at least four tenths of a second (.4s) which represents a full step advantage on the field -first to the ball improvement for soccer and overall performance for football and basketball players; 4. For baseball players to improve 60-yard time by at least 6/10s of a second (.6s); 5. For baseball, basketball, football, soccer and tennis players to improve on a 10- yard shuttle by at least 8/10s of a second (.8s) (note baseball shuttle to include glove hand down and other shuttles are foot to cone without a touch of the cone); 6. For volleyball, soccer, basketball and tennis players to improve 10 Yard T-Agility (multi-direction movements) time by eight tenths of a second (.8s); 7.
