ARMORY Sports Performance

What is ARMORY Sports Performance?

ASP is an elite strength and conditioning program focusing on improving injury resilience, maximizing an athlete's genetic potential, and character development. We design tailored training programs based on the individual athlete's assessment, injury history, and competitive schedule. Our program focuses on strength, power, speed, change of direction, and correctives while utilizing the latest in sports science technology to identify weaknesses and validate improvements.

Bridge the Gap

THE ARMORY Sports Performance Program serves the individual athlete by addressing the needs that are not addressed in the skills and strength training experienced at their school. Regardless of the quality of training an athlete receives at their school, between the time spent practicing their sport and completing the main initiatives of the school strength program, there simply is not enough time to train optimally given the parameters and demands of scholastic scheduling. Due to this dynamic, we bridge the gap by communicating with school coaches so that we can ensure each athlete’s program is tailored to their needs by assessing the areas of physical development that are not addressed due to the aforementioned time constraints of scholastic training.

Designed Different

ARMORY Sports Performance is a Division 1, professional sports performance program. It is not a group fitness class or a drop in and go training service. ASP is about developing the parent/athlete and coach relationship while also programming and progressing your athlete individually while in a group environment. Each athlete is individually evaluated and assessed to determine the best fit for their development and success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything in this program is predicated upon what the athlete needs. Junior Alpha training sessions can range from 60-90 minutes. Alpha training sessions can range from 75-105 minutes. We are not dependent upon a set time but ensuring that the necessary work is completed to maximize the athletes we are training.

The sessions will be led by Coach Jay Hooten and Coach Dean Grogg. Coach Hooten has spent over two decades as a strength and conditioning coach at the highest level of college football (Northwestern and THE Ohio State University).

Coach Grogg played Division 1 FCS Football at The University at Albany and has worked with both elite collegiate and professional athletes at Rutgers University Football, TEST Football Academy, and of course, THE ARMORY.

We have the parents of our athletes contact Coach Jay Hooten (hoot@wearethearmory.com) directly so we can begin developing the relationship between athlete, coach, and parent, that is critical to the success of our program. As is customary in Division 1 and professional athletics, each athlete's program is specifically tailored to their needs and performed in a group setting. It is imperative that athletes and parents are committed to being highly consistent in their attendance, as success in strength training and speed development are products of consistency. Consistent work works.

THE ARMORY Sports Performance Program serves the athlete by addressing the needs that are not covered in the strength and conditioning training experienced at their school. Regardless of the quality of training an athlete receives at their school, between the time spent practicing their sport and completing the main initiatives of the school’s strength program, there simply is not enough time to train optimally given the parameters and demands of scholastic scheduling. Due to this dynamic, we bridge the gap by communicating with school coaches so that we can ensure each athlete’s program is tailored to their needs by assessing the areas of physical development that are not covered due to the aforementioned time constraints of scholastic training.
