SS Training Academy of Connecticut
our company
The Academy
S.S. Training Academy (SSTA) is Connecticut’s first world-class sports science training academy. SSTA’s athletic training facility is focused on maximizing athletic performance for our athletes through a scientific and holistic approach. We focus on our athlete’s individual and/or team needs by measuring and quantifying the subtleties and complexities of athletic movement based on sports science research. The foundation of our mission is rooted in our belief that training in Connecticut needs to change. Our philosophy is that everyone is an athlete (regardless of age, body type or experience level), and deserves to perform at their personal best and should focus on long-term athletic development (LTAD). The SSTA team of specialist are masters in their respective areas and have a combined level of experience of over 75 years.
At SSTA we use a variety of techniques and equipment to assess all aspects of athletic performance, ranging from single muscle movement patterns to sport-specific movements and reaction times. Results from our assessments are then used to pinpoint areas of imbalances or weaknesses and to develop individualized programs to maximize athletic performance, injury prevention and ensure a smooth return to play following an injury.
More importantly, our approach helps athletes identify muscle imbalances before they develop into more serious overuse injuries and focus on the athlete’s quality of life (physically and mentally) for the long-haul.
Who Are We?
SSTA is all about changing the Connecticut athletic training game. SSTA combines, science, innovation and specialized training to create our athlete’s programs. The outdated and imprecise one-size-fits-all approach is dead. We know the best approach to training is unique to each of our athletes and considers the varying experiences, sports, positions and goals they may have. By focusing on science-based performance training and knowing our athletes we ensure each athlete reaches their full potential and focus on LTAD.
After spending time getting know an athlete’s specific goals, our teams utilize our vast knowledge to developed a program which is both “sport-specific” and “position-specific”. We get to know the athlete through a sport’s scientific lens (kinetic, neurological, musculoskeletal ability and aerobic capacity) to identify movement patterns and muscle imbalances that are specific to their needs. We then use this information to recommend individualize or group training that ensures optimal performance and improves your timing and accuracy. SSTA will also go beyond your performance training and focus on your total wellbeing by incorporating life skills, injury prevention exercise, nutrition and recovery methods.
So, are you ready to start?
