Consistent with our efforts to help young people become healthy, happy, well-rounded adults, we salute every Issaquah High School student who is involved in multiple sports.

The "in-season" is the period of time when the athlete is involved in a competitive high school sport. It is impossible to maintain strength during a competitive season without being involved in strength training. Through the use of an "in-season" strength training program, a large percent of the strength gained during the off season can be maintained.

Multi-sport athletes are particularly well-suited for the Strength & Conditioning program because during the winter and spring months, the focus is on: safe technique, building the athletes’ core (athletic power position), agility (jump rope, 40 yard dash, vertical jump, etc.), and athletic explosiveness.
