This is accomplished by helping the athletes become as physically and mentally competitive as possible. The physical aspect of the work includes strength training, cardiovascular endurance, speed training, flexibility and agility improvement, and nutritional consultation. These things not only help the athlete perform at a higher level, but also aid in preventing injuries, and will allow the athletes to remain on the competitive field of play. From a mental aspect, the athletes learn the importance of hard work and dedication. Each athlete is held accountable for not only their own work, but for that of their teammates as well. Each athlete is expected to be on time for all workouts, and work their hardest to get as much from his or her opportunity as possible. At UGA the athletes follow a comprehensive Strength & Conditioning program, where each athlete learns to push their self to improve, and to become more physically and mentally disciplined. The Strength Staff also works closely with the Sports Medicine & Athletic Training Program to help rehab any athletes that may become injured during practice or competition. This aids the athletes in returning to competition as quickly as possible.
