About Neshaminy High School Field Hockey

PictureParisi Trainer, Doug Sharp
The Neshaminy High School Field Hockey team trained with NAC Parisi Speed School coach, Doug Sharp. 

Majority of the team took part in a 6 week program, training twice a week. 12 girls continued their training for the duration of the summer, another 7 weeks. 


The method behind Doug's training:

The first few sessions we focused on form and teaching the girls fundamentals of acceleration and change of direction. 

From there I increased the difficulty of each drills I had them do while continuing to drive home the importance of focusing the the fundamentals that we went over in the first two weeks. 

I also incorporated power exercises to make the girls more explosive- the more explosive they are, the quicker their first step. The key to power exercises was the landing, which plays a big role in injury prevention.

Towards the end of our training program, we incorporated body weight strength exercises and sprint interval conditioning.

Any additional comments about your experience with Parisi Speed School Team Training or our individual coaches?
Doug is very professional and truly cares about his athletes and the training that he is providing them.  He wants them to be successful and knows how to get the most out of them to help them be successful.  He arranged for a nutritionist to meet with the girls on 2 separate occasions which really opened their eyes to being a female athlete and how their eating habits will effect their conditioning and performance along with their body for years to come. (Great stuff)

We would recommend Parisi to any athlete who is looking to train individually or with a team to better themselves physically and mentally. Top notch training with a staff who cares and will work hard to help you meet your goals!
