Welcome to Schaabsport
OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Schaab Sport Philosophy Training is about indirect transfer to sport. Squatting heavier, sprinting faster, or jumping higher doesn’t guarantee improved sport performance. Instead, these qualities make athletes more athletic, facilitating easier learning and improvement in their sport. The best athlete may not be the best player, but they have the greatest potential to become one.
