A comprehensive approach to training.
Our Athletics and Wellness Center, also known as “406,” offers students premier facilities that are utilized in all areas of physical education and athletic programming.
Students are introduced to wellness concepts and the weight room in Middle School and continue to grow their focus in these areas in Upper School. Significant time is also spent on speed, agility, quickness concepts, flexibility, strength training and overall fitness.
Sport-specific and team skill development are central to each athletic season and integral to the coaching we offer our student-athletes. Using PlaySight, a sports technology platform that uses video analysis to enhance performance, coaches collaborate with their teams on tactics and strategy. Additionally, student-athletes will receive education on growth mindset, mental toughness, nutrition, and healthy sleep habits.
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
Our athletic trainer and school nurses collaborate to oversee the community's health and wellness needs and to act in the best interest of our students. Our athletic trainer is responsible for prevention, recognition, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries.
Sacred Heart safeguards students in a dynamic environment, providing a support system for students from the time of injury recognition, treatment, and rehabilitation through the mental and physical challenge of competing at a high level and living an active lifestyle. To achieve our goals, we work closely with coaches and administrators, providing injury knowledge, management skills, and an objective evaluation of a student’s health status to assure a safe return to school and sports. Parents and physicians appreciate our ability to monitor progress, ensure medical directives are adhered to, and meet their child’s needs, contributing to a happy and healthy mind and body.
