Quickness Utilization and Explosive Speed Training (QUEST)
Affinity Health System's Quickness Utilization and Explosive Speed Training (QUEST) program is designed to help student athletes reach maximum performance capability and optimize athletic potential. The program incorporates power, flexibility, biomechanics and agility to improve performance and decrease the potential for injury. QUEST provides six weeks of training that further builds teamwork, competitiveness and mental toughness.
