As the parent of an amazing son on the autism spectrum, I intimately understand our unique challenges. Those precious moments of self-care only exist when we know our children are truly thriving. At Stadium Performance, after training thousands of athletes, we're taking a bold step forward.
I'm thrilled to announce our groundbreaking training program for neurodivergent athletes, launching January 2025 under the leadership of Rachel Kingston. This isn't just another program – it's a transformation in inclusive sports performance training, born from our personal experiences, and powered by cutting-edge research.
Leading Our Vision
Rachel Kingston brings an extraordinary combination of expertise as our Assistant Strength Coach. A former Division I soccer player at Boston University and former Stadium Performance athlete herself, Rachel understands our methodology from both sides of the equation. Her role as a Special Education Teacher in Newton Public Schools, combined with her degrees in Elementary Education and an MBA from Clarkson, makes her uniquely qualified to guide our athletes. Her experience coaching soccer at both Cornell and Clarkson Universities adds depth to her comprehensive understanding of athletic development.
Research conducted in the Journal of Science Transformation confirms the extraordinary impact of strength training for athletes on the autism spectrum. Studies show remarkable improvements in:
Motor skills and coordination
Muscular strength and endurance
Social functioning and communication
Executive function and decision-making
Our Revolutionary Training Approach
We've developed a pioneering two-phase system that unleashes each athlete's potential:
Foundation Phase: Master fundamental movements through innovative techniques like visual targets, tactile guidance, and dynamic body-weight exercises.
Progressive Resistance Phase: Advance to structured strength development using cutting-edge methods and carefully selected equipment.
Game-Changing Features:
Perfect 1:1 coaching ratio
Dedicated training zones with clear boundaries
Innovative RESET room for processing and mental decompression
Personalized programming based on individual needs
This isn't just training – it's a movement toward transformation. Athletes build strength, confidence, and life skills, while parents gain invaluable peace of mind and time for self-care.
