Naomi (14) is a soccer athlete for Eastside FC who joined us at the beginning of the summer looking to get faster, more explosive, and prevent injury! She’s trained hard and consistently all summer on top of her club soccer schedule! Naomi has the most fun attitude towards training, always willing to learn and improve, and always kind to other athletes in the gym. It’s been such a pleasure to see her fall in love with strength training.

To top off the summer, Naomi played with the Puerto Rican U14 National Team in the Caribbean Football Championships and her team swept the championship going undefeated with the help of some amazing goals from Naomi!

Naomi

Vy (10) is a soccer athlete for Seattle Celtic and an SSP legacy and legend – both of her parents train with us as well! Vy is a rockstar striker but wanted to work on being faster and stronger to improve her soccer game and prevent injury!

From Vy’s dad:

“Thanks to SSP coaches, my daughter Vy has significantly improved her overall strength, agility, speed and endurance. She has become a different player on the field, fending off tackles more confidently, and scoring a lot of goals. Thank you so much!!”

Our Programs

Our programs include mobility, power, speed/agility, strength, and conditioning training to help our athletes in every aspect of sport and are customized to the athlete to progressively build higher levels of athleticism. We start our youngest athletes by teaching proper fundamentals and movement patterning to begin building coordination, stability, and strength. Our oldest athletes focus on building both power and strength while improving their speed and agility. Not only do these skills improve performance in team and individual sports, but the way we train at SSP builds comfort in an athletic weight room environment so our athletes are prepared and ready for the next level.

Alex Maloney

Alex started playing soccer at the age 9 and through her first 3 years in college. After missing her senior season and back-to-back shoulder surgeries, Alex took a yearlong athletic training internship - which led her to the question, "How do we prevent injuries instead of waiting for one to happen?". That's when she found the world of strength and conditioning and obtained her NSCA CSCS certification.
