Pillars of the Sports Performance Program
Decrease Injury Risk

• Implementing rehabilitative exercises to keep student-athletes safe from common injuries of their sport. Our main goal is to keep our athletes on the field/court performing at their best.

Maximize Performance

• Programming specifically designed to improve strength, force production and level of play.

Teamwork

• Coaches, athletic trainers and academic staff will work collaboratively to help the student-athletes stay healthy and perform their best on the field and in the classroom.

Set High Standards

• Living up to high standards sets the stage for achieving high level goals on the field and in life.

Accountability 

• Be responsible for yourself as well as your teammates. If one is late, disrespectful, reckless or a liability, you all assume responsibility. Build each other up and take pride in your program.

Respect

• As a student-athlete at Clayton State University, you represent not just the University, but also the entire Department of Athletics. You are seen as a leader on campus and in the community. Take this responsibility and live up to the task. Be respectful to those you know and most importantly to those you don't know.
