Sports Training Clinics,Camps and Seminars
Supplement Your Training with Specialty Camps, Clinics or Educational Seminars
If you are exactly where you want to be in your athletic career, then you can stop reading now.
If you are strong as you want to be, fast as you want to be, have the lean body mass or body fat percentage you want, can jump as high as you want, run as fast as you want, have the exact amount of power you want, or are in perfect shape, you can also stop reading.
However, if you have areas you would like to improve, and want to learn how you can do it, then it would be a good idea to either hire the services of a certified, educated, and experienced professional athletic performance coach, OR you can attend a sports training clinic, workshop, or seminar.
At Finish First Sports Performance, we periodically offer specialty sports training clinics and sports performance seminars for serious athletes, parents or coaches looking for cutting-edge evidence based training principles that can be applied to real-world training-designed to help athletes succeed in sport endeavors.
These programs are concentrated on a particular sport, training area (such as speed, power, etc.), or piece of the sports success puzzle (ie. Physical preparation, mental preparation, etc.)-- and are offered on a limited capacity basis.
We prefer to keep the number of attendees in our sports training clinices low to guarantee that they get the attention to detail that they deserve and an opportunity to ask questions and learn from the elite performance coaches and advisors at Finish First Sports Performance.
Year-round Performance Training 1st, then Specialty Sports Training Clinics, and Seminars
For optimal training results, a year-round training program should be consistently executed by each athlete. Sports training clinics, camps and seminars should be part of your education and performance enhancement regime
IN ADDITION TO (not instead of!) an effective annual performance enhancement training program.
Please, do not allow yourself to be mislead into believing you can get all the training you need through sports training clinics or camps.
The truth is that you should not expect to get a year's worth of training and benefits in a summer-long camp or weekend clinic. However, you can expect to get coaching and training designed to help get you closer to your athletic goals. What you learn at your sports training clinic needs to be practiced and used in order to reap the benefits of learning this new information.
A smart person once said that knowledge is not power...it is the application of that knowledge that is truly powerful.
So, learning is only the first step to helping you get to your goal. You must apply what you learn or what you know in order to achieve the success that you deserve.
You will find our current sports training clinics and seminars listed below.
Sports Performance Training Clinics
The Finish First Sports Performance sports training clinics are workshops that last a maximum of one day, and are typically focused on one specific training area or sport, such as a speed training clinic or a hockey performance clinic.
Our sports training clinics include classroom type teaching, discussion, and hands-on application. For example, in a hockey clinic we may teach you how to better train for faster skating, followed by an open discussion, and then finish with active participation in attempting the off-ice techniques and drills.
We assemble a panel of experts specific to each topic presented in our sports training clinics. Specialized training is needed for sports excellence, so it is necessary to find specialized experts. We will not have a stick-handling expert discussing power skating, just as we wouldn't have a strength coach teaching specific hockey strategies.
Please

"Coach Jeremy Hoy and Finish First is one of if not the main reason I am where
I am today. If it were not for his sport-specific training programs, I could only have dreamt
of making it this far. Any athlete who has any aspirations of making it to the
next level is foolish to not train with Finish First. Regardless of your current skill,
going anywhere else to train is a waste of time, money and talent."
"As you progress in hockey and aspire to get to higher levels, your off season training becomes increasingly important.
Once I started training at Finish First I noticed a difference in my strength, speed, and power on and off the ice.
There is no better place for a hockey player to train than Finish First. Where I am now in my career I can credit to Finish First,
and I know continuing my training there will get me where I want to be."
"Working out at Finish First Sports Performance with Jeremy Hoy was by far the best workout experience I've ever had. I spent six weeks going to FFSP two and three times a day and each time I had a unique workout that helped me achieve the results I desired. Jeremy was always so encouraging and pushed me both physically and mentally to reach my full potential. I went to Miss America in the best shape of my life and felt so confident and prepared..."
"Training for the Miss America pageant included 6 weeks of intense training at Finish First Sports performance. Coach Jeremy Hoy put my physical endurance to the test and pushed me to my limit. In those intense weeks of physical preparation, I truly learned what It meant to be an athlete. Training at FFSP can help ANY pageant girl become an athlete - She will look and feel her very best. ..."
"I spent six weeks at Finish First Sports Performance working intensely with Coach Hoy to prepare for the Miss America pageant. I worked out three times a day, every day! Coach Hoy pushed me harder than I ever could have imagined possible. When I felt defeated, he always had an inspirational story or quote to re-inspire me, and then he would push me harder. Jeremy saw an inner-strength and confidence in me even when I struggled to see it in myself. ..."
"Having competed at the local, state and national levels before coming to Jeremy, I always knew how I wanted to look but never got precisely the results I was striving for. With FFSP, I was able to SURPASS my expectations and become the strongest competitor I could be. Combined with expertise in training, nutrition and overall health, I thank Jeremy and his staff for making me both mentally and physically STRONG! ..."
"I trained under Jeremy Hoy at Finish First Sports Performance in preparations for the 2009 and 2010 Miss Pennsylvania pageants. I am proud to say that I was a preliminary swimsuit award winner both years! Jeremy gives his full attention to his clients and creates their routines and diet plans specifically for them. Jeremy trained me in ways I have never experienced before. New exercises, new muscles, and new pains! ..."
