NSD High Performance Training Information:

NSD offers sport specific training programs which take place in a supportive, competitive environment with the focus on athletic and individual self-improvement. The personal attention every client and athlete receives from our certified high performance trainers is unmatched. We know our clients by name, and are genuinely interested in their lives and well-being, ultimately assisting them in attaining their personal and athletic goals. With a diverse clientele, ranging from elementary and middle school students to professional athletes, there is something for everybody at NSD.

National Sports Development Information:

National Sports Development has very quickly become Calgary’s most talked about sport development and conditioning training company. By offering sport specific development programs and public fitness programs for all ages and skill levels, NSD provides something for everyone. Last year, over 50,000 people registered or participated in one of NSD’s 400 offered programs, memberships, teams, tournaments or leagues. This is a dramatic increase from five years ago, when we had twelve people registered in our very first program; an ultimate testament to our success and to the demand that existed for the services we provide. NSD founder, Brian R. Strong and the rest of the NSD shareholders founded NSD with the sole purpose of wanting to assist amateur athletes in achieving their athletic goals and dreams. The basis of our belief was that if we could consistently provide three key components to our athletes, they would have a significantly increased opportunity to succeed in their sport of choice.

Access to year round high level sport specific coaching and instruction
Whether it is on the hockey rink, a soccer pitch, a basketball court, or a football field, in order to reach their full potential, athletes must have access to the highest level of coaching available. NSD now has over 20 fulltime sport specific coaches, providing our athletes with access to some of the best coaching instruction available today.
Access to year round customized strength and conditioning programs
Athletes must be able to incorporate a specifically customized year round strength and conditioning program into their overall development regime. NSD has 15 full time high performance and personal training staff. We offer the best in class strength and conditioning specialists to fulfill our athlete’s requirements.
Access to year round high performance facilities
Athletes must have access to facilities that are geared towards training and developing athletes. Many of today’s facilities are designed to meet the needs of the general public and are therefore not athlete friendly.

By successfully offering these three vitally linked components, NSD has created an identifiable niche in the marketplace and has become a leader in athletic development.
