"Dom DeCicco Sr., head coach of the TJ boys' basketball
program, watched three of his sons go through Wietholder' s program. His oldest
son, Dom Jr., is now a freshman at Pitt. Zach, a senior at TJ, and Brock, a
junior, started for the Jaguars' undefeated state champion football team this
past season.
"Before they go to combines, or anything of that nature,
they usually go to Ed's(SFAS)," the father said of his sons.
"Ed is absolutely fantastic. I couldn't recommend anyone
higher."
"I started training at Strength Fitness and Speed when I
was in 7th grade. I came in never truly lifting a weight before and never having
any speed work. By the time I was in 8th grade I was bench pressing 225 lbs and
running the 40 yd dash under 5.0 sec. I believe because I went to Strength
Fitness and Speed I learned how to lift the correct way and how to train in a
way to bring about my true athletic potential. If I were to have gone straight
into my high school lifting program without meeting Ed, I believe I would have
gotten into some very bad habits. SFAS has physically changed me. I never knew
learning to run the right way could make such a difference. I am 100% positive
SFAS gave me a great advantage over my opponents. I have seen other trainers’
methods for speed and conditioning, none of which compare to the methods used at
SFAS. I highly recommend SFAS to any athlete who is serious about their sport
and wants to get anedge on the
competition. I am currently training under their supervision to prepare me for
the Football Program at
Princeton
University

Why is Strength, Fitness And Speed, Inc. the
leader in Sports Performance Training since 1998?
The
primary reason is that we know a template based program just does not
fit every athlete's needs. Systems developed in the 1980's are no longer
cutting edge. One standardized system cannot cover individual
physiological differences in age, maturity and gender. Here are some
more:
1.
Individualized and
scientifically designed & time tested training programs
All
of our programs are overseen by Ed Wietholder, well known speed and
sports performance coach to numerous athletes across Pennsylvania.
These are developed in conjunction with his head performance coaches and
are based on the results of the athlete’s assessment, not what
a chart or protocol may call for. Ed and his staff are well aware that each individual is unique and
that programs must be designed for each individual’s physiology,
gender and
sport.
One size does not fit
all.
2. A Functional assessment
You
need a map to tell you where you are going. You need a starting point
and the best route to reach your destination. We take baseline measures
so that we can measure the routine’s effectiveness over time. Resisted
and assisted work is extremely reinforcing to the nervous system.
Corrective strength and nervous system reeducation are in order for most
athletes at the initiation of their program before habits are
reinforced.
3.
Individual tracking and ongoing fine tuning and progression
Every
athlete has his or her own private database in which each workout is
tracked and reevaluated over time. Athletes change and so does the
workout stimulus. We have records for our athletes from the time that
they are in grade school through college!
4. Guaranteed personal attention from
the coach
Athletes
train in one on one settings unless specified by the athlete. We perform
small group training if the athlete wishes to train with a group of
teammates or friends with similar goals. We perform assessments on each
individual in the group and we recommend whether or not the athletes
should form a group or not. Quality before quantity!
5.
Fully functional facilities without the fluff!
Each
of our facilities are 3,000 – 5,000 square feet with sprint tracks,
agility areas, half basketball court (Irwin), strength training areas,
and core training areas. Our facilities are equipped with all that you
need for a fully functional, no nonsense training session.
6.
An open line of communication with the Sports Performance Director
Any
questions parents or athletes have regarding training can be answered
via email, in person, or the telephone. This gives the athletes and
parents the opportunity to better understand the program and outcomes.
7.We are continuously improving and adding to
our knowledge base
We
strive to always offer our clients the best of what’s available in the
sports performance, health and fitness industries. Current trends are
evaluated and implemented if deemed appropriate.
