    There are several components that ASAP~ Athletic Strength And Power has targeted to ensure that the the athletes we train are getting results:

    • Increased Strength
    • Improved Speed (linear and lateral)
    • Improved Power
    • Improved Flexibility
    • Improved Anaerobic Capacity
    • Improved Body Composition
    • Improved Confidence

    To accomplish this, ASAP keeps close ties with developments in sports physiology and sports medicine, too. So, in today’s podcast, Dr. Rob Heidt Jr. of Wellington Sports Medicine  talks about strength training and injury prevention from an orthopedic point of view.

    Dr. Heidt is the team physician for both the St. Xavier Bombers and the Cincinnati Bengals and has been with both organizations for over 25 years! He believes that the preventative aspect in regards to sports injuries has been greatly enhanced by the specific types of training being done through training programs taking place at St. X High School and ASAP Athletic Strength And Power’s sports performance training centers.

    Carlo Alvarez, Cincinnati St. Xavier’s Strength and Conditioning Coach, could not have selected a more appropriate "master of ceremonies", when he picked Dr. Ken Leistner. The colorful and well spoken doctor, athlete, writer, coach and strength training enthusiast added an excellent dimension to the clinic. Coaches from all over the midwest were in attendance and Ken Leistner delivered.

    Dr. Ken took a time-out after lunch for an ASAP strength training podcast. As usual, he proved to be entertaining and definitely has some Cincinnati favorites like Skyline Chili and Graeter’s Ice Cream.

  • ASAP~ Athletic Strength And Power Podcasts: Illinois Football Coach Ron Zook

    The St. Xavier High School Strength & Conditioning Clinic was a successful event. Carlo Alvarez, who is the strength and conditioning coach of Ohio’s reigning #1 football squad, played host to this clinic where Ken Leistner was the Master of Ceremonies and ASAP Director Ted Lambrinides was one of the seminar’s speakers.  The  clinic awarded  CEU’s  in accordance with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).Ron_zook_2

    Kicking off the clinic was the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year (2007), Ron Zook of The University of Illinois where he serves as the Head Football Coach. Coach Zook had a very nice presentation along the theme of "Competition" and had some good videos to share which depicted the competitive situations that he gets his players into during the off-season. In fact, after watching that video of the players battling to exhaustion in a truck tire drill, it’s easy to see why their nicknamed the "Fightin’ Illini".

    After his talk, Coach Zook spent some time with ASAP Podcaster Ed Cicale…. discussing a little bit about his days at Miami University (Ohio), known as the "Cradle of Coaches", where the Redskins only lost one game in three seasons while he played defensive back there. Coach also emphasized the importance of the off-season strength training and conditioning program.

    Zook coached at several other schools including the University of Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, and Florida before arriving in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. He made a few stops in the NFL, too.
