About Us
Who We Are
DSP was founded by a former Division 1 athlete and coach with over 35 years of experience in coaching and training athletes of all ages and levels, from youth to adults, beginners to professionals.
Our team of experienced, qualified coaches have all competed and/or coached at the highest levels in various sports, bringing a unique blend of knowledge, experience, and passion for sports and training.
We design individual, group, and team training programs for you and with you to unlock your untapped athletic potential and to help you become… YOUR BEST ATHLETE.
Big Changes Coming Soon!
We have some pretty big changes coming for Dynamis. We are permanently closing our facility and diverting all our energy and resources to provide better quality speed/agility training. This new training will be held on football/soccer fields at local schools/complexes. We will continue regular training at the facility until November 15th. This new remote training starts December 1st. All accounts have been frozen, so no more payments will be made.
What will we offer?
- Personal and Small Group Training - One-on-one and small group speed/agility training. You select the days/times on the schedule that work best for you, decide if you want to train personally with the coach or want to hop into group training, then schedule yourself into the calendar and get to training.
- Team Training - Speed performance training for both school and club sports teams.
- USR Speed Clinics - We plan to run bi-weekly, 2-hour, speed clinics. Hosted by DSP, but powered by the Universal Speed Rating, the nation’s top platform for coaching and monitoring speed.
What will you be gaining from this new change?
- Field Space! - Leaving our 25-yard turf space at the gym to a full-sized field is going to open up so many more opportunities for drills, assessments, and better individualized training. The advancements that you are about to read below would not be possible in the limited space offered in our gym.
- GPS tracking - We are partnering with Catapult Performance to provide GPS tracking for all athletes. Each athlete will put on a vest and GPS pod, wear it throughout their training session, then return it to the coach at the end. Some examples of the data we will track with EVERY session are rate of acceleration and deceleration, top speed, work ratios, player load, energy expenditure, and much more.
- Force Velocity Profiling (FVP) - This new profiling is how we will further individualize the speed training for each athlete. Through a series of assessments and data tracking, we will be able to profile the athlete by their force production, then see what components of their speed need the most improvement.
- Load Velocity Profiling (LVP) - After attaining the Force Profile for each athlete, we assign specific loads that will achieve the desired supercompensation to grow those weak points. The loads are implemented through loaded sprints and specific drills. All of this will be consistently monitored and logged with our new GPS tracking.
What are we losing?
- Strength Training - The only downside to closing the facility is the cancellation of our strength training classes. Although, it’s not as bad as it sounds. The majority of our athletes are already getting their core strength training in with their schools and/or sports coaches. Our strength classes have always been supplementary to what the athletes are already doing, which of course has still been a benefit, but has not been absolutely necessary.
In summary, 99% of the athletes that walk through our door come in and say “I want to be faster”, and we have done a darn good job accomplishing that so far, but with these changes we can train more efficiently and to a higher level than we ever could before. Both the GPS tracking and the individualized athlete profiling would not be possible without this transition happening. We are beyond excited for what’s to come. Let’s get FAST.
What Is Dynamis?
What is Dynamis? Dynamis essentially has two meanings, both of which greatly illustrate who we are and what we do at our facility. The Greeks used the word Dynamis as someone’s “will to fight” or “will to win”. The Webster dictionary definition is, “the state of that which is not yet fully realized: power potentially.” Both meanings speak for themselves pretty darn well.
At Dynamis Sports Performance, it is our mission to bring out that inner power and strength that every athlete holds within, and let it shine for all to see. To breed and grow our Dynamis, our will to battle on. So, are you ready to unleash your inner power?
