“ I love the atmosphere and enviroment at meghan’s. there is never one day where i doubt myself and she never fails to push me to my fullest potential. she understands each one of us individually and i could not ask for a better role model. not only does her program represent strength, resilience, and the true definition of effort but she herself does. the growth i have seen in my fellow peers and myself make in only couple of months, shows her true dedication to designing programs best fit for the athlete and their sport.”

Training for soccer

When I started my career 15 years ago, ALL female athletes, whether it was field hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, or soccer, were being grouped into the same programming as their male counterparts. That is the point where I decided I wanted to change the landscape of training female athletes.

For the past 10 years of my 15 years in the business, I have focused on primarily female athletes. Even today, there are very few (in the area), if any, trainers that work with just female athletes. My programs are sports specific with individual athlete training plans. I strive to improve the individual players’ game while training them in a team environment.

Not only do I work with field hockey players, but I also work with other sports as well. Volleyball, soccer, and lacrosse have been a great importance in my career as well. The training for these sports and the female athletes are just as important and the same detailed programming is needed.

Strength training for soccer players, especially female athletes, is crucial and essential. With the uptick of ACL injuries in females, especially female soccer players, having a program that is structured in a way to not only make them stronger and faster but also help mitigate knee injuries, is a must. Soccer players need learn how to change direction, decelerate, reaccelerate, and sprint for speed. Having a program that is structured for those will not only make them improve in their sport but also help mitigate injuries. That is so important for them to be able to continue their sport but also their career if they chose to play in college.

Soccer Program

For other sports, the programs are 90 minutes in length. I offer 2, 3 or 4 day/ week sessions. Here is more information regarding each:

2-Day a week program

The two day a week program is the most popular program amongst yearlong playing athletes and off-season athletes.

3-Day a week program

For advanced athletes or those not participating in any other sport. Also, for athletes who are preparing to play in college.

4-day a week program

The four- day a week program is reserved for high school and college athletes’ home on break and for the summer periods.
