WINTER PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

These days, athletes face ever-more rigorous training in elite-level sports. They start to specialize at much younger ages in order to gain a competitive advantage, and many do not counterbalance this specialization with complementary and supportive training that will reduce overuse injuries and burn-out. From my personal and professional experience, I know how important it is for young athletes to build a strong foundation for growth, thereby improving performance and resilience. This 11-week Winter Training Program will include pre/post-testing to measure improvement in: strength, speed, and agility. Importantly, it will emphasize exercises that increase core and knee stability, thereby reducing the risk of knee injury.

“My daughter has trained with Rima for a couple of months and within those months she has gained strength and increased her confidence. This translates to on field success and we have seen a difference in the way she carries herself. Rima provides high quality strength and agility training which is complementary to the training she receives in team training. Rima continually observes her during the training sessions to ensure she maintains proper form to achieve the highest results. She knows how to engage with the kids and makes each session meaningful and fun. I am very pleased with Rima’s continued efforts and results and am looking forward to continuing to work with Rima to maximize our daughter’s potential.” -R.G.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Maryland playing SAC travel soccer, ODP, and varsity high school soccer. I then went on to receive a scholarship to play NCAA Division I soccer at GWU. From a young age I have always been interested in strength training. As soon as I was old enough to use the youth room at the gym, I was in there every week, in addition to my soccer practices. When I was 14, I started working with a personal trainer and by the time I was 16 I had set several records in the squat, bench press, and deadlift for my age group. During this time, I was also having a lot of success on the field. My club team repeatedly won the State Cup, and my high school team were state champions for all four years that I played. When I went to college, I continued to do resistance training in addition to playing soccer. I understood and saw the benefits of it, and saw how it increased my performance on the field. I was more powerful, agile, and quick. Perhaps, most importantly, I never missed a game due to being injured. Many of my teammates suffered season-ending injuries, mostly in the form of ACL tears. After college upon moving to NYC, I took up Muay Thai, competing internationally at the World Championships in Thailand as a member of team USA, and elsewhere. I went on to fight professionally prior to hanging up the gloves (at least on a competitive level). I continue to enjoy playing soccer and training in Muay Thai, as these are life-long passions. I attribute my physical resilience to the time I spent, and continue to spend, on strength and conditioning training. I love working with young athletes, committed to helping them build strong and resilient bodies, for successful performance regardless of sport or level.
