NSSA sports performance training has first and foremost made me faster, stronger, and more explosive. Most importantly it has developed me into a better ATHLETE. The better athlete I am the better ball player I am. The more aware I am with how my body works, the better prepared I am to be coachable and make physical adjustments. If I can make adjustments quicker than my competition, then I will outperform them. If I am physically stronger, faster, and more explosive than my competition then I gain the advantage. Pushing myself physically has given me an edge against my competition and enabled me to succeed.

Norwin Girl's Soccer Head Coach

As the coach of the Norwin Lady Knights soccer team, I highly recommend training at NSSA. They have made a tremendous impact on many of our athletes because the speed and strength training that they provide is a phenomenal addition to the fitness routine of these ladies. NSSA provides a positive, yet competitive and challenging environment for training. The trainers incorporate a great deal of variety into their sessions and exercise both the mind and body of the athlete. They have helped younger players become strong enough to play against older high school opponents, and prepared high school seniors for that next level of collegiate competition. One of the most impressive things they do is tailor workouts to be sport specific. Athletes who train here learn the importance of a good warmup, and are taught correct form. These key teaching points help reduce injury amongst their athletes of all sports. NSSA has given our players a competitive edge that is noticeable on the pitch, and I am grateful for their impact on our team!

David Brozeski
Norwin Football Head Coach

Enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail are only a few of the many positive attributes of Jon Lochiatto.  I have had the privilege of both coaching Jon throughout his high school career and now work with him on the professional level and I continue to see Jon demonstrate these qualities daily.  Jon takes tremendous pride in his work and pushes each athlete to approach each and every day with the mindset of improving!  The positive gains our team is making throughout the off-season training sessions will definitely have a positive impact for the upcoming season!   

Rick Hall
Seton Hill Women's Volleyball Head Coach

The speed and strength training at NSSA has been an instrumental part of the Seton Hill University Women’s Volleyball Programs success.  Both in and out of season, we see each player become noticeably stronger, faster, and more explosive with each week. We have seen increases in vertical jumps and overall strength and stability, which helps the team perform better and prevent injuries.  The team gets along extremely well with all the trainers, who push them to their peak potential while maintaining a fun, enjoyable environment.

Mike Palaschak
Norwin Boys Volleyball Head Coach

This program is the forward thinking that every student athlete needs. The ability to work during or after the season on skills is crucial to the development of an athlete. NSSA concentrates on these skills that will help each athlete perform at their highest level. I definitely recommend this program and will make sure my high school team will be working with them.
