The winter session of the Athletic Edge at HaysMed is scheduled to begin December 14. The Athletic Edge is a training program for athletes 10 years through college that helps improve speed, strength and enhances athletic ability. It is designed for any athlete regardless of their ability level.

Each athlete starts out with a performance evaluation. The results are used by the staff to develop a customized workout that is designed to work on areas for improvement. “Unless athletes know their current level of ability, it is impossible to realistically create goals and monitor progress.” said Shawn Landers, Athletic Trainer at HaysMed Sports Medicine. “Our program identifies areas the athlete can improve.”

Classes are held on Monday and Thursdays from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm and on Saturdays from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm at the Center for Health Improvement at HaysMed.

There are two programs available. Program one includes the first hour gym workout only with no weight training and is $150. The second option is the full two hour gym workout plus individualized weight training for $225. Multiple child discounts for families are available.

According to Landers, many athletes use this training to earn varsity playing time, starting roles or for a greater appreciation for the benefits of regular exercise.

Registrations are accepted through December 14. For more information or to register call 785-623-6369 or contact Landers at shawn.landers@haysmed.com or register online at https://www.haysmed.com/the-center/athletic-edge/
