Athletic Dynamics (AD), a sport specific strength and training company, has joined forces with the Lynx for 2006 to provide speed and strength sessions for the team's inaugural season. The Lynx will be training directly under the AD staff several hours a week.

Athletic Dynamics is an Albany, NY based firm that offers a wide range of sport strength and training programs for soccer and many other sports. They provide athletes with custom tailored programs designed for the specific movements that each sport demands. Essentially, they train you where you need to be trained most.

Mark Van Leuven, PT, CSCS, and co-founder of AD states, "The idea behind Athletic Dynamics is to emulate the intensity of game situations and better prepare the athlete's body for these actions. Our training is designed to force their body to increase it's efficiency, power, and speed of movement. I was motivated to start this business to give Upstate New York athletes the very same opportunities and advantages professional athletes have -- access to proper sports training techniques.”

Lynx Head Coach Paul Motsiff is happy to have Athletic Dynamics on board with his WPSL team and notes, "As a soccer coach I have used Mark's company before with great results. He seems to be able to coax 'that little bit extra' out of the players he works with. In the past, he's taken several players of mine and bumped their strength and speed up a couple of levels, and that makes a *huge* difference 75 minutes into a soccer game."

"Any time you make individual players more fit -- you make the whole team more fit. So I am very excited to be working with Athletic Dynamics again, they bring a really well thought out program to our training facility.", Motsiff added.

Athletic Dynamics also works with College and University athletes in the Upstate area, and they do create programs and training for local and youth sports too. AD provides their training services to a wide variety of sports, not just soccer of course. For more information on AD go to www.AthleticDynamics.com .
