IMG Academy isn’t just raising the bar in the weight room, it’s altering how student-athletes train for their respective sports.
The Bradenton, Fla.-based boarding school is one of the only high schools in the country using EliteForm, a next-generation technology platform that aids in athletic performance, strength training and sports science. The integration complements an existing workout regiment for players.
The weight rack system, which is integrated into all 24 racks at the Performance and Sports Science Center, captures various data points surrounding a player’s workout. With power and speed measurements, Football Physical Conditioning Coach Dave Ballou and Head of Sport Science Matt Rhea can tailor a player’s weight for optimal reps.
