Elevating Athlete Performance: Introducing DME FIT by Rise Fitness
September 25, 2023
In the world of sports, success isn’t just about what happens on the field. It’s equally about the hard work and dedication that takes place off the field. Recognizing the importance of off-field training, DME Academy, Sarasota has taken a bold step by introducing DME FIT, powered by Rise Fitness. This initiative, set to kick off in late September and run through April 2024, promises to elevate the performance of DME Academy athletes to new heights.
Unveiling the Power Couple Behind Rise Fitness
Driving the DME FIT program are Alex and Jillian Da Silva, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo who hold a host of certifications in the fitness industry. Alex is an ACE-certified personal trainer and a sports performance specialist, with a license in soccer performance analysis. Jillian, on the other hand, is also Ace-certified and a group fitness instructor, bringing her expertise to the program as well.
“We love what Jared and the DME Academy team are doing for athletes in our area. It’s a breath of fresh air and immensely important for young athletes to work just as hard off the field as they do on it. The program we created is geared specifically toward soccer training, and in conjunction with Jared, we’ve created DME FIT solely to improve soccer performance for the athletes of the Academy,” says Alex Da Silva, Owner of Rise Fitness.
Tailored Off-Field Training for Soccer Excellence
DME FIT is all about fine-tuning athletes’ off-field performance to make them stand out on the field. The training programs will encompass a wide range of exercises, focusing on core strength, balance, speed, agility, and overall physical fitness. By targeting these key areas, DME Academy aims to empower its athletes to excel in the sport they love. Functional training has a place for soccer athletes and the program will quickly prove beneficial for Academy members by improving recovery time, increasing cognitive function, and results associated with speed, agility, and balance.
Affordable Excellence: DME Academy’s Commitment
DME Academy Sarasota is committed to its athletes’ development. To ensure that this top-notch training is accessible to as many members as possible, the academy will subsidize most of the cost. Athletes will be charged only $10 per session. Each session will span 60 minutes and will be meticulously monitored and led by the experienced Rise Fitness team. This partnership marks yet another milestone in DME Academy’s mission to provide unparalleled support to its athletes.
A Holistic Approach to Athlete Development
DME Academy doesn’t stop at physical training. It understands that mental fortitude is equally crucial. To this end, the academy offers mental performance training led by Vince Malts from Evolving Athletes. Additionally, it provides athletes with tools like Sports Recruits and HeadCheck Health to ensure their holistic development.
Jared Antista, Co-Founder of DME Academy, Sarasota, emphasizes their commitment to the athletes’ overall development, saying, “We continue to do more and add more for our Academy athletes. This is only the beginning as it’s our job to get these players ready for the next level (whatever that next level is for them). As we prepare to launch an academic program for next year, it’s important to get athletes in the right mindset for a deeper investment of their energy and effort in chasing their dreams.”
