SPARQ Training

SPARQ is synonymous with explosive athleticism. SPARQ Stands for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness – the five elements of athleticism that combine to create explosive athletes. SPARQ is an athletic training company, formed in 2004, whose mission is to help competitive athletes at all levels get better and improve their game. To this end, SPARQ developed a system of three interdependent phases – RATE, COMPARE, IMPROVE – that enables athletes to measure their athleticism and set benchmarks, discover their strengths and weaknesses and then target dynamic movement training to elevate their athleticism.

The SPARQ Rating is the first step in the RATE, COMPARE, IMPROVE system. What you can measure, you can improve. The SPARQ Rating is the SAT of Athleticism - a numerical measure or expression of individual athleticism, calculated using the results of a series of tests designed to replicate physical demands relevant to specific sports. The tests that comprise the SPARQ Rating were designed with the help of top-level coaches, trainers and sport scientists who drilled down to the basic physical in-game movements essential to football, soccer, basketball, hockey, and fastpitch athletes and unique to each sport. Far from being a static, one-dimensional number, a SPARQ Rating is a vital multi-dimensional tool. The SPARQ Rating provides a depth of knowledge about athletes unavailable through any other form of athletic testing. And knowledge, as we know, is power. In this case, it is the power to change the game. The SPARQ Rating reveals weaknesses and highlights strengths in athletes, and guides in how to capitalize on the strengths, assess the weaknesses and target training to negate them. Ultimately, the SPARQ Rating will enable trainers, coaches and athletes to elevate athleticism and raise the level of game-day performance.

The same coaches, trainers and sport scientists who partnered with SPARQ to develop the tests that make up the SPARQ Rating have developed dynamic training programs designed to train movement, not muscle. Use SPARQ Training to master the basic movements of any individual sport, and become a better, more explosive, athlete. The idea is simple. During a game, plays can be broken down into a series of athletic movements – a lunge, a squat, a step, a stop, a change of direction, a jump, a sprint, an acceleration. On the field or court, these movements take place at top speed, and in dizzying directions. There isn't time to think, an athlete's body has to flat out perform. Off the field SPARQ Training has taken these macro movements and broken them down into micro movements – foot placement, knee flex, hip rotation, arm and shoulder positioning. There is meaning in the minutia, when the micro movements become muscle memory, athletic performance is elevated. Train to master these movements, and be prepared to perform at game time. SPARQ Training is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Training demands vary by sport, by position and by the individual athlete's SPARQ Rating. SPARQ knows this and allows you to integrate SPARQ Training into your current programs, customizing them to address gaps in athleticism identified through testing while sustaining and elevating existing athletic strengths. This means the time you spend training is optimized and the results of that training are maximized.
