Skateboard Performance Coaching

A performance coach can help you become more resilient to crashes by increasing your strength levels, enhance your performance by improving your power ( better “pop’’, speed on your flips and body spins) and fitness levels (strength endurance and cardio levels - skate for longer). Another big role of the performance coaching is the post injury recovery. Let’s face it, injuries in action sports are unavoidable. Performance coach works very closely with the physiotherapist, they both ensure that athletes are absolutely ready to get back on their sport and be even stronger and healthier than pre-injury.
