Kurt Brungardt, with Lloyd Jodah & a player at the 2016 American College Cricket Dream11 National C’ship
In another innovative move we’re excited to announce the development of a comprehensive strength and conditioning program for American College Cricket athletes. Cricket requires speed, strength, agility and quickness. It also requires a strong core, rotational power, arm strength and shoulder mobility and stability for bowlers.
American College Cricket wants to offer our teams the same quality strength and conditioning opportunities provided to scholarship, professional, and Olympic athletes. We are partnering with PROOF Athletics, ProStrength, and BAM testing to help you reach your full athletic potential, even as you remain true student-athletes.
For months we have working closely with Brett, Mike, and Kurt Brungardt to create the program.Brett Brungardt’s company BAM Testing is the official Combine Testing company of the NBA (and the ICC has recently hired BAM to run their cricket combines).
Mike Brungardt was the strength and conditioning coach for the San Antonio Spurs for 18 years and has 5 championship rings. He is in The Strength Coaches Hall of Fame.
Kurt Brungardt, the founder of PROOF, is a bestselling sports and fitness writer and personal trainer.
PROOF Athletics provides pro and college teams a full range of services: strength and conditioning program design, athletic testing, and applied training analytics (using data to get peak results). For American College Cricket they will launch a concept called: PRO CRICKET FITNESS. The program will be a comprehensive, year long training program, focusing on the three main time frames: off-season, pre-season, and in-season. In a world of iTunes workouts that are one-off’s, it is essential for an athlete, if they are going to reach their full potential, to have an integrated year long program, just like pro, scholarship, and Olympic athletes.
The goals of PRO CRICKET FITNESS are simple: improve your performance on the pitch, decrease injuries, and have healthy body composition changes (more muscle, less fat), creating a healthy fitness habit for life.
