Mission Statement

In conjunction with Mercy University and the Department of Athletics, the mission of the Strength and Conditioning Department is to design and implement sports performance programs to enhance the athletic performance, minimize the risk of injury and support our student-athletes in pursuit of championships in their sport, in the classroom and community.

Program Philosophy

The Mercy University Strength and Conditioning Department utilizes an evidence based, sport-specific, individualized, and holistic approach to build future champions. All student-athletes are evaluated in various key performance indicators of athletic development to ensure student-athlete's goals are being achieved. Strength and conditioning programs are mentally and physically demanding to ensure mental and physical development of our student-athletes. Year-round athletic development training sessions are overseen by nationally accredited, certified strength and conditioning professionals. In all of our endeavors, we are committed to the principle of ethical conduct, integrity, and excellence. By developing strong minds, bodies and character, we create powerful athletes, dynamic leaders, and impart values that will be used for a lifetime.
