Through the support of our generous members and donors, Boosters is proud to launch a new Strength & Conditioning (S&C) Program for all Acalanes Athletes!
All athletes and coaches are invited to Join the S&C Program launch August 29th at 3:00 outside between the big gym and small gym!
The Acalanes S&C is designed to prevent injuries, increase strength, flexibility and speed, and generally improve the performance of all our athletes. The new S&C program consists of three components:
- A dedicated S&C coach
- A technology platform that demonstrates proper technique, distributes workout programs, and tracks athlete progress
- New and expanded S&C equipment
S&C Coach
Welcome Logan Beal! Logan is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist from St. Mary’s college. Logan earned a BS in Human Physiology from University of Oregon, has delivered S&C training at both high school and colleges, was a varsity football coach at South Eugene High School (his alma mater) , and currently is a personal trainer and instructor at St. Mary’s College.

S&C Technology Platform
Our student athletes live on their phones, and technology is a key part of their daily lives. Accordingly, technology plays a key role in the new S&C program. Bridge Athletic, our technology partner, builds high-performance training tools for coaches and athletes at all levels, including olympians, professional athletes, collegiate and high school athletes, and individuals. The Bridge platform provides:
- Workout programs tailored by sport and level of athlete
- Video and written instruction and tips on proper exercise techniques
- Personal tracking for each athlete’s progress
- Reporting and monitoring of athlete progress for coaches
The Bridge platform makes it possible for any Acalanes athlete, whether they are in-season, pre-season or off-season, to follow a program tailored specifically for them, as well as learn how to properly execute each exercise.
S&C Equipment
Lastly, the new S&C program includes expanding and updating our current equipment. This includes not only traditional weights and dumb bells, but medicine balls, TRX-type suspension training equipment, plyometric equipment, racks and more. Over time, and funding permitting, we will continue to expand and update the equipment available for our athletes.
Thank you to all our members and donors for making this program possible!
