• Questions? Send an email | Registration is open for Coach Braz's GTD All-Sports program this summer. "I have trained at Braz Camp for about eight years I would say. I started (I believe) when I was heading into middle school, and did so because I was beginning to join sports teams that were becoming increasingly competitive, so I wanted to become a better athlete in order to succeed at the next level. "Whenever my season begins, whether it is soccer, ice hockey or lacrosse, I can feel the results of summer training. Each drill for the all sports camp has a specific purpose for aspects of all sports; for example, Fireworks (alternating acceleration and deceleration) prove to be essential in all three of my sports. I can feel the explosive power I gain from camp in game situations, whether it's changing speed in soccer, or stopping and going in hockey. Doing ladders helps with agility, and we do core almost every day to enhance our balance. "The all sports camp introduces new drills every day to build on the skills and conditioning and work up endurance. One of the most obvious benefits I have found from doing the camp is my endurance. I find that I can go for increasingly longer times without getting as fatigued and 'flat' so to speak."
