Emerging Elites Training
The Emerging Elites training program incorporates a structured, individualized approach combined with diverse technical training and a personalized Core Development Program. Emerging Elites athletes increase their overall strength and specific speed without increasing their weekly mileage by more than 10%.
The Summer Program establishes a strong mileage base, core development and running efficiency for Emerging Elites to carry into the fall. Additionally, the Summer Program is supplemented with educational seminars for both athletes and parents. During their training, athletes are able to truly embed healthy and proper performance-enhancing behaviors.
Individualized Training |
The Emerging Elites coaches design individualized training plans for each Emerging Elites athlete on a weekly basis. The Emerging Elites coaches review the training logs daily to monitor each athlete's training and send feedback on their progress.

Group Training |
Group training also includes weekly coached long runs with similarly talented athletes. The focused, competitive and fun environment allows the Emerging Elites to both train efficiently and develop friendships with their fellow athletes. |
By maintaining a maximum ratio of 7-10 athletes per coach, each Emerging Elites athlete receives individual attention while training in a small group setting. Coach Fred Treseler meets with the Emerging Elites athletes at least twice a week (three times in the summer) for training sessions that include running drills, plyometrics, core exercises and stadium training.

Diagnostic Physical Evaluation with Peter Stone, P.T. |
Prior to and during the training period, Peter Stone, a leading sports physical therapist, personally evaluates all Emerging Elites athletes. Peter Stone carefully assesses their anatomical strengths and weaknesses. Based on this evaluation, the athletes are given an individualized Core Development Program to maximize performance, prevent injuries, improve flexibility and core strength.
