The training program is now available in three states, including at the Sanford Fieldhouse. "Certain things have changed with technology, like GPS and all that, but really the principles of exercise there's still science from 40 years ago, so it's kind of they changed but then it hasn't," Bliss said. Sanford Sports Performance caters to teams and individuals, specializing in everything from strength training to sports nutrition and mental performance. "The training that they do here is very sport specific, so they look at energy systems so every sport's different, their needs, so they really take a science approach here and they do a great job," Bliss said.
