SPS brings tactical conditioning to those who strive to improve body and mind through a comprehensive and intensive functional conditioning program. Bill currently works as a staff trainer for the Commonwealth's juvenile justice system. As a former United States Marine Military Police officer, Bill knows what it takes to succeed, how to push the body and mind to the limit and get the maximum results from the tactical athletes he trains. He mixes his unique experience as a Marine and law enforcement officer with the latest scientific and evidence-based training methods and sport psychology research to develop a tactical operator who is prepared for any situation. Operators learn the concept of how to "improvise, adapt, and overcome" to reach their full potential and optimize their performance on and off the field. Operators are taught the importance of mental toughness, physical readiness and the desire to succeed under the most difficult of circumstances. It is truly an experience no athlete will forget.

The physical demands placed on today's law enforcement and SWAT operators are intense. Whether making a dynamic entry to rescue a hostage, scaling walls in pursuit of a suspect, physically engaging a combative and aggressive suspect, you have to know that you have what it takes to safely manage every situation you encounter. Under these extreme environments and conditions, you have to know that your body and mind will excel when needed. SPS's tactical conditioning program gives you the confidence and edge that you need to survive the most trying of engagements.

The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) describe the tactical athlete and their needs as follows:

The tactical athlete is any SWAT officer who engages in high risk operations. These operators require high levels of strength, speed, power, and agility. They not only need to be aerobically fit but also anaerobically fit to handle the rigors of these high risk situations.

Strength is required to perform operational tasks. Tracking requires local muscle endurance to avoid fatigue. Strength is the foundation for all the components of the tactical athlete. Strength can be developed through various types of periodized resistance training programs. Methods used should mimic the tasks or goals of the tactical athlete.

Nearly every operator requires fast movements of either the arms or legs. In most case the operator will be required to accelerate and decelerate during an operation.

Operators will most likely engage in some physical conflict whether it is breaching on entry or hand-to-hand combat. Success will be determined by how much power an operator has and how efficiently it is utilized.

In most operational situations, the ability to change direction and accelerate/decelerate is more important than achieving or maintaining a high velocity. This agility requires rapid force development and high power output, as well as the ability to efficiently couple eccentric and concentric actions in ballistic movements.

Bill's experience in the United States Marine Corps as a military police officer reinforced to him the need to be in optimal condition to operate in stressful environments. You need to be in superior mental and physical shape at all times sin e you never know when your skills will be put to the test. Whether you are enlisting in the armed forces, currently in the armed forces or a veteran, if you want to get in and or stay in superior condition, this is the program for you.

Our members of the armed forces are the ultimate warrior athletes. Whether it be humping through the deserts of the middle east or the mountains and caves of Afghanistan, boarding ships or oil platforms, guarding our embassies, protecting dignitaries, or patrolling the streets of Iraq and other hot spots throughout the world, you need to make sure your physically prepared for the mission.

If you recently enlisted in the military and trying to prepare for the rigors of boot camp, SPS has the experience, background and knowledge to make you a leader of the pack form the beginning of your training. This is especially true for those enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. The Marine Corps has just implemented new and tougher standards, the Combat Fitness Test that challenges the very core of an individual's physical readiness and mental toughness. SPS will prepare you to destroy the test as well as the standard physical fitness test.

Emergency Services/Tactical Medics

The physical demands of placed on emergency services personnel and tactical medics can be overwhelming. Whether it is climbing stairs with a hose pack, rappelling down a building to rescue an individual, scaling a ladder to rescue a fire victim, or engaging in a tactical operation with a SWAT team, you must know that you can physically and mentally get the job done. A tremendous strain is placed on the body which if unprepared will lead to injury and potentially life threatening situations should your body fail in an emergency.

SPS has the answer and will design a comprehensive functional conditioning program that prepares you to safely encounter and manage any situation you face. We will make sure that the public you are entrusted to protect know that they have a warrior trained for any event.
